Unforgettable Return to Deadpool & Wolverine
Guess who’s back? That’s right, our favorite clawed-heroine, X-23, played by Dafne Keen, made her long-awaited return in Deadpool & Wolverine. Fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) were overjoyed to see her reprise her role, intensifying her father-daughter bond with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Now, folks are buzzing about what could be next for her in future MCU films.
Keen’s Burning Desire for X-23 Revisit
Just recently, Keen shared her hopes and dreams of continuing as Laura, aka X-23, in upcoming MCU films. She loves the role so much that she even offered to pay Marvel Studios just to get her back in the franchise. That’s some real dedication right there! The teenage actress, currently working on The Acolyte, has a soft spot for Laura and views her role as a momentous chapter in her career.
Why She Loves X-23
Keen is a fan of Laura’s mentally intricate character. For Keen, the role’s complex emotional spectrum makes it super exciting to explore. Plus, she can’t wait to dive into the uncharted fight scenes that Laura aka X-23 has up her sleeve. Keen is ready to fight tooth and nail to reprise the role.
The Bumpy Road Back to X-23
But, as we know, the road to success is rarely smooth. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, Keen’s hopes of reviving X-23 seemed like a distant dream. Yet, the declaration of Deadpool & Wolverine returning made hope spring again. And guess what? After secret chats between her agent and movie creators, Keen finally secured her beloved X-23 role. Cheers to that!
Mixed Reactions from Fans
Keen’s comeback wasn’t all roses, though. It ruffled some feathers among fans when they heard about her potential claim to Wolverine’s huge shoes. Die-hard MCU followers are emotionally attached to Jackman’s Wolverine and Keen’s X-23 characters. The fans want to enjoy their characters in their original forms.
Fans Aim to Preserve Uniqueness
To many fans, changing Keen’s character from X-23 to Wolverine can shake up the character’s unique story arc. They argue that this drastic move could unnecessarily rewrite Marvel’s history. Hence, they suggest retaining and developing the X-23 persona in her distinct style.
Keen’s Apprehensions about X-23 Revival
Keen also had her own set of worries about reprising her role. She thought about the pressure of living up to the intensity of X-23 that she portrayed as a kid. However, once she faced the camera, a familiar feeling struck her as if not a day had passed since her last act as X-23.
You can catch Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters right now, and Logan is accessible on Disney+. As for Keen, she’s living her dream of returning as Laura in the MCU. The fans can hardly wait to see what new twists await them in the Marvel Universe. Will she defy the odds and revive X-23’s unique identity? Only time will tell.
