Dafne Keen first played Laura/X-23 in 2017's Logan, and finally reprised the role in last summer's Deadpool & Wolverine. The movie ended with the mutant being reunited with her "father," Wolverine, on Earth 10005, setting the stage for Keen to hopefully reprise the role in Avengers: Doomsday.
The expectation among fans is that she'll suit up as the female Wolverine in that or perhaps even as a permanent fixture in the post-Secret Wars MCU.
Talking to Screen Rant at Fan EXPO Canada, Keen expanded on comments she made this past weekend about whether she'll return as Laura in the upcoming Avengers movies.
"I actually have no idea, like, legitimately, I swear to you," she told the site. "I literally, right now, I have no idea. I've not heard."
Keen met fans to sign autographs and take photos at the event, with many of the latter going viral after the actor once again wielded X-23's claws. Someone has now taken that image and put the 20-year-old in a Wolverine costume, and we know many of you would love to see that if she does join the ranks of the X-Men next December.
Since starring in Logan, Keen has appeared in His Dark Materials and The Acolyte, and has Whistle, The Marshmallow Experiment, Night Comes, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians all on the way.
