Dafne Keen, known for playing X-23 in “Logan,” is rumored to be reprising her role in “Deadpool 3.”
Key Takeaways
- Dafne Keen rumored to reprise X-23 in “Deadpool 3,” fans hyped by comic-accurate fan art.
- Her role could link to bigger MCU stories, possibly setting her up in “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
- Keen’s return as X-23 might fill the void after Hugh Jackman, shaping the future mutant storyline in the MCU.
While official confirmation hasn’t come yet, people are excited about fan art from Troy Austin showing Keen’s character, Laura, wearing a costume that looks just like her comic book version, complete with her signature claws.
The storyline of “Deadpool 3″ is set before the events of “Logan,” suggesting Laura’s physical absence from the plot. However, her rumoured involvement in “Deadpool 3” and possibly other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects could greatly enrich the mutant lore.
Keen’s return could provide continuity as Hugh Jackman exits the Wolverine role and pave the way for a new actor to take on the mantle.
Laura’s character could have a key role in upcoming MCU films, such as “Avengers: Secret Wars” or other X-Men titles, making her the official X-23 of the MCU.
This could add depth to the mutant storyline and make the transition smoother following Jackman’s departure by positioning Laura as the daughter of a new Wolverine.
Her portrayal of Keen in “Logan” was widely praised for its depth and ferocity and for introducing a character with a deep connection to one of the most beloved mutants, Wolverine.
This potential comeback in “Deadpool 3” is more than just a shoutout to fans; it’s a strategic move by Marvel Studios to integrate the rich X-Men universe into the MCU, connecting stories and fan bases.
As the MCU continues to introduce more mutants, Laura’s presence could be key to expanding the mutant narrative, offering a fresh perspective on the mutant experience through the eyes of a younger, yet equally formidable character. You can also check out some fan-made X23 suits from @itoonofficial:
