Dafne Keen in Talks to Return as X-23, But Not for X-Men Reboot
Dafne Keen is in talks to return as Laura Kinney, also known as X-23, in an upcoming Marvel Studios project, according to insider MyTimeToShineHello. The source later clarified that this does not involve the upcoming X-Men reboot.
The role could involve an appearance in the next Avengers films. In 2024, insider Alex Perez claimed that X-23 would appear in future movies in the series, and in 2025 he again hinted at Laura returning alongside Deadpool and Wolverine. Principal photography for Avengers: Doomsday is already complete, making Secret Wars a more likely option, though Marvel Studios has not confirmed this information.
Keen previously stated that she would gladly continue playing the character:
“I would be happy to return. There are so many great comics about her that could be adapted. It would be a dream come true. I will never get tired of playing her, so I would agree even if they called me for just five minutes.”
Keen debuted as Laura in the 2017 film Logan and returned to the role seven years later in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars will premiere in 2027.
