Premise
Following the events of X-Men: Days of Future Past, as the X-Men resume their ordinary lives without concerning about the conflict between mutants and humans, Logan finds himself closer to Rogue, who had been seeing him as a father-figure since their first encounter. When hostile threats unleashed by Loki (with help from Sabretooth and a reluctant Magneto) arrive from other worlds to Earth, Logan finds himself in need to join his old friend and war partner Steve Rogers / Captain America and the Asgardian prince Thor to stop these threats and save the world from Loki's schemes as they prepare to face an old enemy of both Professor Xavier and Magneto's past who is being unwillingly revived by Loki.

Plot
While Charles Xavier is recalling the days when he and Erik Lehnsherr worked together against common threats until Lehnsherr decided against peace between Mutants and Humankind, Logan is visiting the graves of his deceased comrades during World War II while expressing regret for having left one month before Hydra's first downfall. He is consoled by Rogue, who claims that he is not alone yet.

Meanwhile, after leading a new pack of Invaders (consisting of Clint Barton / Hawkeye, Sam Wilson / Falcon, Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier, Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver and Flash Thompson / Agent Venom) on a assault on a facility held by William Stryker, Captain Steve Rogers / Captain America is informed of Logan's whereabouts and decides to search for him. The two meet right when they are attacked by mutants who joined ranks with Hydra. Logan and Rogers are joined in the fight by Thor, who reveals that Hydra is under Loki's leadership.

The X-Men are gathered in Asgard, where Odin informs them of Loki's plans to wage war with other realms. Just as Victor Creed and Magneto are also said to be collaborating with Loki's schemes, the X-Men agree to cooperate and formulate a strategy to stop him. While searching for Magneto, Logan senses someone else who, as Xavier senses, is far more powerful than Lehnsherr himself has ever been. He and Rogers eventually cross paths with Lorna Dane, a young woman who is working hard to reconnect with her father. While Rogers agrees to help her, Logan goes on to find Magneto.

After some training with Sif in Asgard, Rogue exacts to socialize with the children present there. Suddenly, she has a vision of a possible future, on which both humans and mutants are on the brink of extinction due to a threat which Loki is unwillingly unleashing. Xavier also has this vision and alerts the others about it. Logan manages to locate Loki and confront him about his plans, but is taken into a fight with Creed and Lehnsheer. Aided by Rogers, Logan subdues the two, but Loki runs away. Through Creed's mind, Xavier discovers that Loki plans to achieve the Amulet of Hela to form a new army with the dead. Xavier also deduces, to Lehnsheer's horror that Loki is about to unknowingly resurrect Sebastian Shaw, an energy-absorbing mutant who Xavier and Lehnsheer fought against in the past. Knowing that Shaw will become a dangerous foe if Loki revives him, Logan and his group exact to locate Loki and stop his before it is too late.

The group splits up, attacking multiple Hydra squadrons to find Loki. During a confrontation with a patrol led by Baron Strucker, Logan and Rogers witness Lorna use her powers to defeat an entire Hydra Air Force. At this point, the others learn that she is Magneto's daughter, who is the only one who can bring about his light side. From Loki's hideout, Magneto also senses Lorna, but decides to keep his knowledge in secret from him. Growing suspicious of him, Loki demands Lehnsheer to prove his loyalty to him by killing the X-Men.

Magneto eventually reveals himself and challenges them, but he relents when he sees Lorna again after twenty years.
