Official ‘Logan’ Photo confirms X-23 as played by Dafne Keen
Pretty much everyone has guessed that Dafne Keen is playing X-23 in Logan. But! Now the Powers that Be have confirmed it.
Although director James Mangold declined to confirm the identity of the girl in the first “Logan” trailer, a new photo seems to confirm she is indeed X-23.
An image of actress Dafne Keen posted this morning on the film’s Instagram page is accompanied by the caption “Laura,” an apparent reference to the real name of Marvel Comics character X-23, Laura Kinney.
Introduced on the animated series “X-Men: Evolution,” the character made her comic book debut in 2004’s “NYX” #4. In the Marvel Universe, she’s a clone created from a damaged copy of Wolverine’s genome who last year assumed the code name of her “father” and now headlines her own series, “All-New Wolverine.”
