"The film is set in the post-Trump future of 2029 with a dusty and run-down world. The mutant heroes are more myth now than legend, with actual X-Men comics existing in-universe offering up fantastical variants of actual events. In this future, Logan is old, bitter, and broken. Working as a limousine driver, he drinks to forget. His healing factor still works, but only barely. In the opening scene some street thugs are stripping his limo while it’s parked on a lonely highway shoulder when he awakens and does what the Wolverine always has. He gets injured, but we see that now the wounds barely stitch together, leaving a patchwork of scars. His claws no longer extend fully – he has to pull them out by force, with blood and puss oozing all the way. When he kills the thugs – it’s the kind of not pretty that we’d always hoped to see, claws ripping out throats and through foreheads with bone and blood galore.

What little money Logan does make and doesn’t drink away, he uses to keep a small derelict farm going where Professor Xavier lies in a bed, barely able to know who is around him, let alone to use his powers. Something seems to have happened in the past to cause all of the other X-Men to no longer be around and whatever it was continues to haunt both Logan and Xavier [r]".
