His Dark Materials star Dafen Keen was asked by Metro about possibly returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to reprise her role as Laura, a young mutant who went on an adventure with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in 2017. And she seems on board.
“I love Laura and if I got the call I would be there in seconds,” Keen said. “She’s a brilliant character, so I’d definitely say yes to that, but I haven’t gotten the call. Crossed fingers!”
Laura is a clone of Wolverine and has similar powers. Keen had a fierce look in her eyes as she took down guys in Logan, making her an instant fan favorite. Keen herself went on to play one of the lead roles in HBO’s His Dark Materials, which wrapped up its third and final season in December.
His Dark Materials star Dafne Keen wants to return as Laura from Logan
Logan was supposed to mark the last appearance of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, but he was recently confirmed to be returning as the adamantium-clawed X-Men hero alongside Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming Deadpool 3.
With the MCU exploring alternate timelines and bringing back characters from previous cinematic universes, I would bet Keen will be back onscreen as Laura at some point. In addition to His Dark Materials, Keen was recently cast in the upcoming Star Wars TV show The Acolyte.
