The video suggests that the hero has drastically changed, from a clawed-mutant who saved the world to a miserable middle-aged man.

AceShowbiz - Wolverine's new profession seemingly only requires him to have driving skill instead of possessing clawed hands. In a new "Logan" clip released by 20th Century Fox, Hugh Jackman's Logan is featured as a limo chauffeur who is not in the least happy with his job.
The black-and-white video titled "Sunseeker" has the same gloomy tone which was conveyed in most of "Logan" promotional photos. An aging Logan looks very bored and depressed as he's driving around with his rich customers, who in contrast look very happy after attending parties.
The scene is set to the sound of a voicemail, in which Logan introduces himself as James Howlett and says that he wants to buy Sunseeker yacht. "It's kinda a retirement gift for my dad," he adds, presumably alluding to Professor X (Patrick Stewart). In the end of the clip, Logan sips an alcoholic drink from his bottle and the voicemail ends.
While it is unclear whether or not the video is the part of the upcoming "Logan" movie, it speaks volume about how Wolverine's life has changed since "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". The hero has fallen, from being a mutant who once saved the world to a middle-aged man who lives a boring life.
In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hideout on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.
Also starring alongside Jackman and Stewart in "Logan" are Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook, Doris Morgado, Stephen Merchant, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Richard E. Grant. The movie is set to hit U.S. theaters on March 3.
