We have some interesting updates on several of the characters set to appear in James Mangold's Logan, including confirmation that X-23 will make her big screen debut, and the actress that'll play her. First reported by Omega Underground (later by The Wrap), Sienna Novikov (Bad Moms, Daddy's Home) will apparently bring life to Laura Kinney, who will emerge from the "Transigen" procedure as the two-clawed killing-machine, X-23.
There's also new information on the man who will head up this programme. According to The Wrap's sources Richard E. Grant's "mad scientist" type is actually Dr. Zander Rice, and not Mr. Sinister as previously speculated. In fact, it doesn't sound like the evil mutant geneticist is going to feature in the movie at all. Boyd Holbrook - who was revealed to be playing Donald Pierce earlier today - is said to be Zander's head of security at Transigen.
Mangold has been posting new stuff pretty regularly on social media, so there's a good chance some of all of this will be officially confirmed over the next few days. Logan is set for release on March 3rd, 2017.
