The film is set seventeen years before the first X-Men, and will center on Wolverine's early encounters with Sabretooth, William Stryker and the Weapon X program, and other mutants. The Blob and John Wraith may also feature, as well as Vietnam War flashbacks and a love interest for Wolverine.

Gavin Hood described the themes of the film as Wolverine's inner struggle between his animalistic savagery and noble human qualities. "How much of his violence should [Wolverine] embrace? How much should he set aside?" he stated. Hood enjoyed the previous films, but set out to give the spin-off a different feel. The script, meanwhile, aims for a smaller-scale character piece compared to the previous X-Men films.
