02/24/2017 07:11 pm EST

During Hugh Jackman's appearance on Good Morning America (GMA) today, a new clip from 20th Century Fox's R-rated superhero movie Logan was shown.

The sneak peek begins with Pierce (played by Boyd Holbrook), the leader of the mutant-hunting Reavers questioning Wolverine (Jackman) about X-23 (played by Dafne Keen), believing that the ever-crabby mutant has the young, powerful girl in his possession.

"I need the girl," Pierce says.

"What girl?" Logan replies.

"I know you went to the motel."

"Yeah, I was going there. There was no girl; there was just the woman."

"So... you saw Gabriela (Elizabeth Rodriguez), but you didn't call me?" Pierce then puts his cyborg hand on Logan's shoulder. "See, you're not the only one who has been enhanced."

In 2024 the mutant population has shrunk significantly and the X-Men have disbanded. Logan, whose power to self-heal is dwindling, has surrendered himself to alcohol and now earns a living as a chauffeur. He takes care of the ailing old Professor X whom he keeps hidden away. One day, a female stranger asks Logan to drive a girl named Laura to the Canadian border. At first he refuses, but the Professor has been waiting for a long time for her to appear. Laura possesses an extraordinary fighting prowess and is in many ways like Wolverine. She is pursued by sinister figures working for a powerful corporation; this is because her DNA contains the secret that connects her to Logan. A relentless pursuit begins … In this third cinematic outing featuring the Marvel comic book character Wolverine we see the superheroes beset by everyday problems. They are ageing, ailing and struggling to survive financially. A decrepit Logan is forced to ask himself if he can or even wants to put his remaining powers to good use. It would appear that in the near-future, the times in which they were able put the world to rights with razor sharp claws and telepathic powers are now over.

Logan stars Hugh Jackman (Logan), Boyd Holbrook (Donald Pierce), Patrick Stewart (Charles Xavier), Dafne Keen (Laura Kinney/X-23), Doris Morgado (Maria), Stephen Merchant (Caliban), Elizabeth Rodriguez (Gabriela), and Richard E. Grant (Dr. Zander Rice). James Mangold is directing and helped on the screenplay along with Scott Frank and Michael Green.

Logan hits theaters on March 3, 2017.
