At the world premiere of The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 21 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, Dafne Keen caught everyone’s attention. Known for her breakout role as Laura Kinney in Logan, she stirred intrigue when she walked down the blue carpet. Her appearance left many wondering: Could she be involved with the upcoming Fantastic Four film?

Unofficially, Keen’s attendance at the prestigious event has sparked excitement among fans, as she was spotted amidst the gathering of confirmed Marvel stars in a striking black gown against the backdrop of predominantly blue outfits. This has only fueled the speculation surrounding her possible role in the Marvel universe, according to Deadline’s report.

Not on the cast list but still in the spotlight

As an avid fan, I’m thrilled to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) family, with Dafne Keen gracing our screens as X-23 in Deadpool and Wolverine. While her role in The Fantastic Four: First Steps hasn’t been officially announced yet, attending the premiere has certainly sparked speculation about a possible cameo or future participation in this exciting franchise.

It’s widely speculated that Laura Kinney, portrayed by Keen, could make a comeback in future Marvel productions. With the expanding multiverse narrative in the MCU and the impending Fantastic Four reboot, some fans anticipate her potential involvement in an unexpected cameo or setup for future collaborative films.

Stoking curiosity even further, initial rumors hint that one of the movie’s after-credits sequences may lay the groundwork for a new Avengers squad. This could pave the way for emerging heroes such as X-23 to take center stage. Although nothing has been officially verified, Laura Keen’s attendance at the premiere has only amplified excitement about what might unfold in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future storyline.

To date, there’s yet to be any formal announcement regarding the matter. Marvel Studios is remaining tight-lipped about the specifics of The Fantastic Four: First Steps before its scheduled premiere on July 24.
