The first viral video for Hugh Jackman‘s next and (probably) final Wolverine movie, Logan, showed our favorite feral mutant in pure form: driving a limo and looking into buying a boat from the Penny Saver. While that clip wasn’t terribly revealing in terms of the movie’s plot (again, probably), Logan‘s next viral video is a lot more revealing… not to mention disturbing.
On Wednesday morning, director James Mangold tweeted out a new video featuring a scenario that should be pretty familiar to longtime comic book fans, surrounding the character of X-23, played by Dafne Keen. You can watch the entire video below:

Just like her genetic father before her, X-23 was created to be the perfect assassin and killing machine. Eventually, she escaped the facility and joined Xavier and the X-Men, though it seems that part of that comic book lore will be altered for Logan. For one thing, it seems there are no more X-Men–and in fact, no more new mutants–left in this dire future. However, judging from the latest video, it seems X-23’s origin story will otherwise remain largely intact.
Logan, directed by Mangold and starring Jackman, Keen, and Patrick Stewart, hits theaters on March 3.
