In 2017, Hugh Jackman last played Wolverine on screen in James Mangold’s Logan. While the clawed mutant prepares to return in Deadpool & Wolverine, how about Laura aka X-23, the hero’s young protégé played by Defne Keene in Logan?
With Deadpool & Wolverine marking the return of Hugh Jackman as Logan and many MCU mutants and superheroes appearing in Sean Levy’s feature film, we can wonder if X-23, Wolverine’s clone, will return. Recall that after the success of Logan, a spin-off focused on Daphne Keane’s character was considered before it was finally shelved.
Logan
asked the site Entertainment on demand During the premiere of Disney+’s The Acolyte, Daphne Keene, now 19, says she’s not in the Deadpool & Wolverine cast. The young actor explains: “Of course it’s sad. I love Hugh and I love Ryan and Sean creatively. I’m really looking forward to seeing what they do. I think Sean is one of the best directors and Ryan is a legend, but I’ll go. I see him as a fan and we’ll see My old friend in the movie..”
The reporter then questions Daphne Keen again, asking if X-23 could be back in the future thanks to the multiverse. To which the actor responds by smiling at the camera: “I hope you listen to this Marvel!”
So we understand that Marvel hasn’t offered Keane to reprise his role, but he’s open to it.
Deadpool & Wolverine: A Predicted Success?
Deadpool & Wolverine It will be released in our theaters on July 24.

At the box office with $1.08 billion at the worldwide box office.
In Deadpool’s third cinematic adventure, Wade Wilson and Logan must work together to defeat a series of villains plaguing the Marvel Universe. But they’ll also shake up the MCU franchise and bring changes to some of our favorite moments from Phases 1-4.
The two friends will be surrounded by Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Karan Son (Dopinder), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic), Emma Corinne (Cassandra Nova), Jennifer Garner (Elektra), Aaron Stanford (Pyro) and Ray Park ( toad). The film should also bring back many mutants and heroes from the MCU, but not X-23.
