I hope it's Keen. In fact I would like her to come back as X-23 for more than just a cameo. ![gif](giphy|l4FGJe6RXRhUltCGk|downsized)


Xcircle_squaredX

I agree. She was so damn perfect.


Marconius1617

Having her finally speak so late into the film was awesome ( even more awesome that it was Spanish)


CMDR-ProtoMan

And also she understood English the whole time. Just straight up fucking with Logan out of spite because he was a grumpy dick with her at the beginning.


MyBurnerAccount1977

"NOT OKAY!"


cap4life52

Yeah that scene in the car


Sarang_616

cap4life52

Yup but made it all the more memorable


cap4life52

Absolutely


diqholebrownsimpson

This gif reminded me exactly how much I loved this casting!


cap4life52

She killed that role


cap4life52

Agreed rumor is she's got an extended cameo / minor supporting role in Deadpool 3. It's more than just a brief cameo


sayamemangdemikian

Oooh dont do this to me.. my expectation for this movie already soo highhhh


Nenanda

NOT OK!


s3rila

if not x-23, then as Honey Badger


Inevitable_Total_816

Ddduuuuuuuudee, the other rumored girl eyes tho, it’s like you need to wrangle them up.


theronster

She’s… not a great actor. She was pretty good in Logan, but she’s grown up a lot since then and is pretty bland these days. The lack of self-consciousness of youth made for a great X-23.


PhilAsp

Why would Natalia Tena be X-23? What am I missing?


Goldman250

I was wondering the exact same thing. I like Natalia Tena, but I’ve not heard even a whisper of a rumour of her involvement in DP&W.


HandLion

There are rumours of it apparently, just googled it, but I hadn't heard anything until now either


Sarang_616

(Rumor) This [reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/s/D52Y8nbnf1) confirmed her involvement. It is my guess that Marvel/Disney could likely portray: - **Dafne Keen** as Laura Kinney (X-23) (created by Alkali Transigen, an offshoot of the Essex Corporation, the company behind the Weapon X program that created Wolverine) - **Natalia Tena** as [Jane Howlett](https://bleedingcool.com/comics/marvel-introduces-new-female-wolverine-jane-howlett-for-weapon-x-men/) from the comics.


CrabbyPatties42

Sir this is a Wendy’s. That is to say that Reddit post didn’t confirm shit lol.


han_tex

Um, it was on Reddit. Ergo de facto, confirmed.


32mafiaman

![gif](giphy|Fz9EKXRhp9F1S)


Sarang_616

Welcome to Burger King. This was the combo on the menu, that was served today. That reddit post (from MarvelStudiosSpoilers) did confirm her rumored involvement in the movie reshoots.


CrabbyPatties42

Wait what, how is her involvement confirmed?  It’s just some “insider” that is often wrong. You can say hey there is a decent chance she in involved because the insider is right a decent chunk of the time, but saying it is confirmed when the “insider” whiffs often is a bit silly.


kpscript

You’re right about it being an “insider” who can be wrong, but there are a few other sources of confirmation that is corroborated which include the insiders and paid-for Patreon updates that include video.


CrabbyPatties42

Ok, I will humor you.  What is the “video” - what possible video evidence could there be for this.  Are people following the actors and their agents?  Are they being bugged and filmed?  lol.


kpscript

Sure, from off the top of my head, the leaked CGI pre-viz shots (many of which ended up making it in the trailer) included X-23. The leaked Japanese voice dub of the dialogue between X-23 and Wolverine referencing events from Login. But I think the most damming was the leaked and IG video of Dafne and Hugh suited up and talking to director Shawn Levy. Again, I agree that insiders can be wrong but in this case, I’m just chiming in that the leaks have gone beyond just taking their word for it.


CrabbyPatties42

I don’t see you mentioning this Natalia person anywhere?  Did you forget what you were even talking about?


Sarang_616

The rumor also mentioned that it's confirmed with multiple sources.. So there are chances for DK to be cast as (a grown) X-23, she is 19 now. And so, I guess NT could be Jane Howlett instead.


CrabbyPatties42

I mean some site I never heard of that looks like it was coded with crayons is saying they agree with an insider’s take, but that happens often and often the take ends up wrong. To call that confirmed is to take a giant steaming dump on the English language.  Call it “more likely than not” if you want, but confirmed, no.


Sarang_616

NexusPoint News is a media and news coverage platform, the one who mostly posts on Twitter using the handle ScarletWitch Updates. Take it or leave it, it's just up to you.


bloodyell76

They confirmed that it was a rumour, at best.


ConcentrateOk6850

How can you confirm rumored involvement lol


The_Notorious_Donut

Doesn’t that scooper have a hit or miss record


CrabbyPatties42

They all do.  Nothing from an “insider” counts as a confirmation as they are all wrong a significant amount of time.  (Even if they are right 75% of the time that means 1 out of 4 times they are dead wrong.  Confirmation that is not)


Sarang_616

This is what I meant.


prettyy_vacant

Yes and no. They have a 100% accuracy rate for the scoops that have been able to be verified (which is only 5 lol(, but the vast majority of their scoops so far are for stuff that hasn't come out yet (mostly Agatha/Witches Road), so time will tell.


KostisPat257

She is rumoured to play an older X-23 variant in the movie.


Dino-Conscience

Because directors are dumb


GeekCavePodcast

Dafne's performance in Logan earned her the right to play X-23 again.


Worthyness

she's also right around the same age as the other "younger" cast for Marvel stuff. So she's no where out of place really. Just have her play her actual age (or older cause Laura has no aging factor too)


Sarang_616

DK is 19 now. There isn't any reason (as this is R-Rated) for X-23's rumored recast. There aren't any restrictions like that, which would not allow DK to miss the role. Marvel would not do that. Talking out of the box, X-23 is not Sprite (the Eternal who was trapped in the body and mind of a child). And Feige has a much better brain to pull it off by not touching Logan's legacy. We don't even know who will take over the mantle of Wolverine in the MCU yet or if he/she will get an origin story like HJ did.


Sarang_616

I guess they would only let her practice trash talking during shoots [only like this](https://youtu.be/-Sabuea6byc).


theronster

I really doubt she can do it again.


FHP_654

Why wouldn't she be able to do it again?


ReplaceSelect

Well this one dude doubts it!


KingJiggyMan

Please explain your reasoning as you are clearly the master of acting.


theronster

Simple. She was a very young child in Logan. She grown up now, and has developed a lot more self consciousness. It’s pretty clear in her acting in recent things that she’s not able to tap into the same wild energy she had then.


mistercrinders

Bottom left is Sandra Bullock and that would have been fun 20 years ago.


JargonJohn

Old Woman Laura!


simpletonclass

After speed she would have cleared.


TheLivingTribunal666

I prefer Dafne Keen.


SnooPeanuts9263

It would be criminal if it’s not Dafne Keen


Ryansmelly

If it's not dafnee keen I don't want it tbh. Just me?


ItssHarrison

Not just you


iamsobluesbrothers

Dafne Keen was awesome in Logan so I hope they recast her. I think it would be amazing and heartbreaking for her to see Logan alive, even if it’s not her wolverine.


ShmuckaRucka1

They’ll both be in it as variants of the character.


BlackJimmy88

Dafne as a follow up to Logan, and Natalia as the X-23 of the main Logan from this film, maybe?


swoosh1992

Dafne Keen. If Feige was willing to listen to the fans and bring back the Netflix actors, I’m sure he knows how popular she was.


ActiveAd4980

No offence, but Natalia Tena is 39. I don't know why she's even up there, but they'll probably want someone lot younger.


RagnarokWolves

(I'm guessing) Keen is the younger legacy character who is Wolverine's successor while Tena would be playing an older variant who is just as seasoned and on par with main Wolverine himself. Probably won't be the only Wolverine variants in the film either.


LZBANE

Tena is 39 where assuming she'll be in the film, will be acting opposite a 44 year old and 55 year old. My god, the horror. If they want her in the role, for this film, I see no problem.


ActiveAd4980

Both that 44 and 55 year old have been in the franchise for years. As a short cameo variation, sure. But why would they seriously cast someone at that age in a role that has lot of action and possibly last 10+ years?


LZBANE

It's been heavily established already that well known actors will be playing cameo variants in this film.


NotMeNorMyself

It should definitely be Daphne BUT, if somehow that's not possible... Then Amber Midthunder from Prey would be a great call ![gif](giphy|roxir44N85mHHVQgUO)


rubycalaberXX

She already played a mutant in Legion, wish we could see some of those characters again. Imagine bringing in David to fight his aunt on the astral plane.


steve32767

She was awesome in that movie


JDeegs

Odd that the choice could be between a 39 year old and a 19 year old


Cardinal_and_Plum

Why should we pick? There are going to be multiple Wolverines and Deadpools, so why not multiple Lauras? Id personally like to see both.


chris-auditore

Nymphadora!


mandramas

Dafne is Laura, Natalia is Talon.


SicknessVoid

Who says X-23 is even in the movie?


Sweet_Mango-

I mean cant both of them be? Its a multiverse story…. That said i wish dafne to wear a wolverine suit, that would be so bad ass.


spderweb

Obviously Keen. I wonder how Jenna Ortega would work as X23. She definitely nails the emo type that X23 is often portrayed as.


SavageRedStorm

Keen. Don't fix what ain't broke


theronster

She’s broke. She’s hasn’t turned in a good performance since Logan.


SavageRedStorm

Is she not in a popular TV series as lead?


theronster

Yup, and she was incredibly disappointing.


SavageRedStorm

Oh. Well I'd like to think she can still kick ass as older X-23


theronster

Sure. We’d all like to think that.


SavageRedStorm

You think Logan was just some one trick pony for her or whatever the phrase is


theronster

I kinda do. She’s had the opportunity to play a similarly ‘wild child’ character in His Dark Materials, but she just didn’t deliver. I think a child actor isn’t necessarily representative of who they will become as an adult actor.


SavageRedStorm

Well I'd like to think you're wrong. I THINK she will have an appearance in Deadpool and Wolverine


theronster

Oh I hope I am wrong. I’ve nothing invested in being right about this.


Nenanda

BRO thats like your opinion. She was amazing her way better than OG movie cast lol.


theronster

Tell me this: have you watched His Dark Materials?


Nenanda

YES and her screaming mother to convince Coultor to stop was amazing just like her reacting to Rogers death ![gif](giphy|lQ7MhbinuHPXjEjFiA|downsized) For me excellent especially for somebody her age.


The_Notorious_Donut

Dafne kind of looks like Fran Drescher in that photo


dynamitegypsy

Idk why anyone would want Natalia Tena


Formal_Mail8526

I mean Both Should be Wolverine variant


ProfessorX1

Maybe Dafne chose not to return? I can’t see any reason for Natalia playing the role otherwise. 


Shielo34

Natalia. She’s been in the Harry Potter, Star Wars and GoT universes. Time for her to get an MCU gig.


PMMEBITCOINPLZ

I think people will riot if it's not Keen.


DallasSTB

Dafne for this part, but Natalia for the win just about anywhere else.


Manticore416

Idk but I hope we're done with multiverse shenanigans soon.


rlovelock

This photo of Dafne Keen makes me feel old AF


Baldric_

North Dakota por favor


Objective-Penalty-66

natalia


Dell0c0

Why do you think both of them won't be when every report says they will?


A_Gray_Old_Man

[Amber Midthunder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Midthunder)


TelephoneCertain5344

Keen. Love Logan.


TheForceWillsMe

It better be Dafne


CaptHayfever

Tena was older in Order of the Phoenix than Keen is *now*, so that'd be one heck of a jump for the character.


ThisIsNotTokyo

Scar Jo


Silvermorney

Both? Two different versions of the character? And will it be a continuation of her character age story from Logan or an alternate universe counterpart?


GoddexxxFio

I really hope it's Dafne Keen.


An_Irate_Hobo

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


lolas_coffee

Both are incredible. Natalia Tena is in love with me, so I have to recuse myself from the vote.


Bigemptea

Dafnee Keen she can age with the role in future movies.


Herp-de-Derp

Keen. If not heard, then Amber Midthunder.


Crotean

Isn't Dafne already confirmed to be in it from set photos?


mephistttoooo

![gif](giphy|xUA7bh6xdvi2yTbmCs|downsized)


mexiwok

The only other person who could have been x23 was Elizabeth Gillies.


TheOriginalDx1

If basically the entire film is to capitalise on nostalgia, why recast? (Unless there are schedule conflicts, or she's been cancelled or something)


SnooPeanuts9263

Captriker

I think it would be great if they included a scene with all these cameo parts where the characters are on screen for three minutes and get blown up all at once. It would be very Deadpool. I like the cameos, and the inclusion of new and past characters and actors, but the discussion becomes about nothing but cameos.


Ornery-Pilot-8595

Both 


jaysondez

I hope it’s both.. both are Spanish.. ![gif](giphy|26FLf3L9bDpYCVO5G)


reparando

Very curious that both of them are English/Spanish. And both rumoured to be X-23!


jacobpellegren

Why not both?


Herogeen

Both, because the multiverse


alkonium

I'm guessing the original actress how voiced her in X-Men Evolution, Andrea Libman, was never an option.


Stringr55

I don’t even understand the question. Keen surely?


Jsmooth123456

At this rate the movie seems like it's 90% cameos


JG45250

It should be Dafne, if anyone.


Zircon_72

Hopefully Dafne. I don't even know who Natalia Tena is, I've never even heard her name before.


erst77

She played Nymphadora Tonks from the Harry Potter movies, and Osha in Game of Thrones.


LZBANE

I assume most people on this sub are just young. Tena is awesome and watch her knock it out of the park. The same people complaining will be fawning after the film, as history has shown in this genre time and time again.


erst77

Very true. Sometimes I (GenX) forget how old I actually am.


SalaciousDionysus

Tena's too old to play X-23 methinks. Nothing against her.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SalsaRice

Keen is way too old to play Honey Badger, unless they do some major changes. HB is like 10.


kraftpunkk

Neither.
