       Logan (Jackman), aka Wolverine, is on his own, working as a chauffeur and taking care of the aging and ill Charles (Stewart). There is a new generation of mutants, and the two old men are forced into protecting one of them, young Laura (Keen).

       Well.

       No spoilers, but this was unexpected.
