After a multitude of paparazzi set photos, today we get our first official look at Hugh Jackman in 'The Wolverine.' Claws? Check. Sideburns? Check. Crazy muscles. Definitely check.

Currently filming in Sydney, Hugh Jackman returns to the role that made him famous in 'The Wolverine,' an 'X-Men' movie they promise will have nothing to do with 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine.'

The official plot goes as follows:

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, in Japan. There, samurai steel will clash with adamantium claw as Logan confronts a mysterious figure from his past in an epic battle that will leave him forever changed.

The first look at 'The Wolverine' is available below. Back when Darren Aronofsky was scheduled to direct, he wanted Jackman to be bigger and bulkier, like the comics. New director James Mangold seems like he has opted for the opposite. A thinner, leaner (and veinier?) Wolverine. What do you think?
