Dafne Keen Expresses Desire to Reprise X-23 Role amidst Fans’ Wish for Original Wolverine

Date:

Key Takeaways:
– Dafne Keen hopes to reprise her X-23 role as Laura in future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects.
– Despite fans’ support, many voice their opposition to the idea of her taking on the Wolverine mantle.
– According to fan reactions, they prefer the idea of exploring X-23’s trajectory rather than rewriting Wolverine’s history.

Dafne Keen Returns in Deadpool & Wolverine

Diehard MCU fans had an emotional rollercoaster in Deadpool & Wolverine when Dafne Keen returned to the screen. Picking up her role as X-23, Marvel enthusiasts rejoiced in the exploration of a deeper father-daughter bond with Hugh Jackman’s Logan. Keen’s appearance in this film has sparked a wave of speculation about her potential for a more substantial role in future MCU editions.

Dafne Keen’s Passion to Reprise X-23

In a recently-held interview with Phase Zero, Keen expressed profound determination and desire to return as Laura in future MCU films. She even offered to pay Marvel Studios just to be a part of the franchise again, showing an unparalleled dedication to the character she portrays.

The Acolyte actress conveyed her affection for Laura, describing the role as a major highlight of her acting career. To her, Laura’s psychological complexity makes exploring the character extremely appealing. She also noted her enthusiasm for the unexplored fight sequences that Laura could offer, stating her willingness to “kill” in order to come back.

Keen’s Journey Back to X-23

However, her aspirations to return to the role were somewhat dampened when Disney bought 20th Century Fox. The announcement of Deadpool & Wolverine reawakened her hopes, and after a month of hidden negotiations between her agent and the creators, she was able to secure her familiar X-23 role once more.

Reacting to Fan’s Opinions about X-23 and Wolverine

The joy of Keen’s return, however, came with some discontent among fans. They have voiced their objections to her taking on the Wolverine mantle. MCU enthusiasts have a deep affection for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Dafne Keen as X-23 and want to relish their characters as they are.

The fans, therefore, advocate for the exploration and development of X-23’s character in its uniqueness. Numerous fan posts have discouraged the idea of morphing her into Wolverine, a move which they believe could undermine X-23’s arc and unnecessarily rewrite the Marvel lore.

Staying True to X-23’s Character

Keen also expressed concerns about revisiting her character. She wondered if she could match the intensity she brought to X-23 as a child. Yet, once the cameras started rolling, she felt an eerie sense of familiarity, as though “eight years hadn’t passed.”

Deadpool & Wolverine are currently showing in theaters and Logan is available for streaming on Disney+. For Dafne Keen, the dream to return as Laura in the MCU remains strong and fans eagerly await how her journey unfolds in the Marvel Universe.
