Dafne Keen, the young star who captivated audiences as X-23 in 'Logan', has fans buzzing with anticipation! But this time, it's not about her past performance; it's about her future. Could Dafne Keen be the next Wolverine in the MCU?
In an exclusive interview, Dafne Keen reflects on her incredible performance in the horror film 'Whistle' and addresses the growing fan movement advocating for her to embody Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Keen's journey began in 2017 when she portrayed Laura/X-23 in 'Logan', leaving a lasting impression on viewers. The plan was to bring her character to the forefront in a spin-off alongside other young mutants, but fate had other plans. The Disney/Fox merger intervened, and fans feared they'd seen the last of her unique take on Wolverine's female clone. However, 'Deadpool & Wolverine' brought the character back in a memorable way, reuniting her with her on-screen father.
Now, the buzz is building for Laura's return in the upcoming Avengers films, 'Doomsday' and 'Secret Wars', alongside Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. But here's where it gets controversial: should Dafne Keen take up the Wolverine mantle?
Many fans are passionate about seeing X-23 become the new Wolverine in these movies, and they're eager for Jackman to pass the torch to Keen. After all, it's a storyline that played out in the comics. In our interview, we asked Keen about this fan-driven campaign for her to become the MCU's Wolverine, complete with the iconic costume.
Keen's response is heartwarming: "It's incredible to know that something we created a decade ago still resonates. I hold that character very close to my heart, and it's amazing to see so many people love her as much as I do. It's a beautiful feeling to know your work has made an impact." She also emphasizes the importance of connecting with people through her performances, feeling a deep sense of fulfillment when her work evokes emotions in others.
While Keen remains tight-lipped about her potential MCU return, the excitement is palpable. Fan art abounds, envisioning her in Wolverine's classic blue and yellow suit. Will Marvel Studios make this fan dream a reality? Only time will tell...
In the meantime, catch Dafne Keen in the spine-chilling 'Whistle', now showing in theaters. This horror thriller follows a group of high school misfits who unwittingly unleash a terrifying curse by blowing an ancient Aztec Death Whistle, summoning their future deaths. As the body count rises, they must uncover the whistle's origins to break the deadly cycle they've set in motion.
