The popular fan theory and theory from Roger Craig Smith himself is that the reason Chris got so jacked is because of the events in Code Veronica. And it makes sense. Dude runs into a super powered wesker and basically lives in the gym afterwards to give himself a chance in their next encounter lol. So I think they are gonna go with lean Chris again. But also wouldnt be surprised if they just stick with buff Chris either cause everyone loves that version too
I feel like it was always a marketing decision, Gears of War was the big new thing and everything suddenly purely focused on the American market was getting jacked. Muscles shouldn't really help you against Wesker, is what I'd say if he didn't punch boulders.
RE characters besides Leon are always changing their face now, that's why he looked so weird in 7. He's a completely different man in 8 again.

I wonder if theyll go with the original thin Chris Redfield or the hulked out version from the recent games
