Bryan Singerin yli 20 vuotta vanhassa X-Men-elokuvassa Hugh Jackmanin lihaksikkuus Wolverinena on jotain aivan toista luokkaa verrattuna myöhempien elokuvien Wolverineen. Oikea syy tähän on, että Hugh Jackman palkattiin rooliinsa kolme viikkoa ennen kuvausten alkamista, sillä näyttelijä Dougray Scott ei saanut aikataulujaan sopimaan.
Nyt sitten fanikunta on kehitellyt oman teoriansa siitä, miksi Wolverinen lihaksikkuus lisääntyy elokuvasarjan edetessä. Kyse on siitä, että ajan kuluessa saatuun vahinkoon reagoidaan uudella lihasmassalla.
"The more damage he takes, the more his body compensates by building more muscle. In the first X-Men, he has not been in heavy damage situations for a while, negating the need to build more protection. So i know the official out of the universe explanation is that Hugh Jackman did not have the time needed to get in superhero shape. But here is a probably ridiculous in-universe explanation. So before the events of X-Men, Logan looks to be a traveler, lying low and having problems remembering who he is. He is doing some bar brawl cage matches for extra cash, but he is taking little damage from his opponents.
Compare that to the years before in other films where he is constantly being shot ,stabbed, blown up, and what have you. The more punishment he takes, the more muscled he is, like his healing factor is more triggered by more damage,rebuilding him bigger and stronger. If you look at the films where his is fighting more often, this is when he is at his biggest. He could even shrink in size for his body to conserve energy during times when he is not subject to constant damage."
