Ex-X-Men Star Ignites Speculation of Deadpool 3 Appearance Through Set Snapshot
An ex-X-Men star has ignited speculation surrounding their potential cameo in Deadpool 3 by posting a snapshot alongside another beloved actor from the X-Men series.
X-Men actor Dafne Keen sparked rumors about a possible Deadpool 3 cameo when she shared a photo from Hugh Jackman's Logan on set.
Logan, which came out in 2017, was Jackman's final film as Wolverine. It also wrapped up Charles Xavier's story. Despite this, both actors have revisited their famous roles, with Stewart appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Jackman scheduled to show up in the upcoming movie, Deadpool and Wolverine. Nevertheless, there is talk that another actor from the Logan cast could be making their way into the MCU.
Keen recently posted a photo of herself with Jackman and director James Mangold from the Logan set. While it could just be a throwback to their time filming, it has sparked rumors that she might reprise her role as X-23 in Deadpool 3. Speculations about X-23's return have been circulating for months, but Marvel Studios has not confirmed anything yet.

Keen's version of Laura, also known as X-23, was first introduced in Logan as Wolverine's biological daughter, created using Logan's DNA. Fans were excited to see more of her in future projects, but her story hit a roadblock when Disney acquired Fox. Marvel Studios then decided to revamp the entire franchise and introduce mutants in their own way.
Despite the absence of a standalone MCU movie centered on mutants, Deadpool 3 could be the perfect opportunity to bring mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Beast made a brief appearance in The Marvels' post-credits scene last year, offering a glimpse of mutants in the MCU. Furthermore, She-Hulk hinted at Wolverine's presence in the MCU with a news headline mentioning a man with metal claws in a bar brawl. This sets the stage for X-23 to continue Laura's story in Deadpool 3.
In 2024, Deadpool and Wolverine are the only Marvel Studios movies scheduled for release. Phase 5 has faced challenges with movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels not meeting expectations at the box office. Deadpool 3 is highly anticipated, especially with Jackman rumored to be involved in the film. While the trailer for Deadpool 3 has been well-received by fans, the true test will come when the movie hits theaters.
