Dafne Keen Gets Comics-Accurate X-23 Suit To Join Wolverine In Deadpool

Dafne Keen, known for her role as X-23 in “Logan,” may reprise her character in Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool 3,” according to rumors. While her return hasn’t been confirmed, fan art by Troy Austin envisions Laura in a comic-accurate costume with her signature claws, portraying her as a seasoned warrior and potential member of the X-Men.

The timeline of “Deadpool 3” suggests it predates the events of “Logan,” implying Laura’s absence. However, her potential inclusion in future MCU projects could expand the mutant mythos. Keen’s portrayal could bridge the gap before introducing a new Wolverine actor, offering continuity as Hugh Jackman steps down from the role.

If Laura emerges in “Avengers: Secret Wars” or other X-Men ventures, she could become the MCU’s official X-23, providing depth to the mutant narrative. Her presence could also soften the impact of Jackman’s departure by establishing her as the daughter of the new Wolverine.

While Laura’s return in “Deadpool 3” remains speculative, her potential involvement in future MCU endeavors opens exciting possibilities for mutant storytelling.
