Deadpool & Wolverine: Will X-23 Appear Again in The MCU?

As a dedicated fan of the X-Men universe and someone who has followed Laura, aka X-23, since her introduction in “Logan,” I am thrilled to see her reappearance in Deadpool & Wolverine. The prospect of X-23’s continued presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fills me with immense excitement and anticipation.


In the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest film, Deadpool and Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman bring back their famous characters for the first time since X-Men Origins: Wolverine (15 years later). This installment boasts a roster of X-Men adversaries such as Sabretooth, Toad, Lady Deathstrike, Azazel, and Laura, better known as X-23. Fans are eagerly waiting for this encounter between Wolverine and his foes in the upcoming Phase 5 release.

In an alternate universe portrayed in Logan, X-23 emerged as Wolverine’s genetically identical daughter, inheriting his formidable abilities. Following Wolverine’s demise, X-23 paid her respects by giving him a proper burial. Deadpool and Wolverine set the stage for X-23’s subsequent adventures, with a strong possibility that she will reappear in future Marvel Cinematic Universe productions as the multiverse grows more complex. X-23’s role is anticipated to persist throughout the approaching years.

X-23 deserves her own MCU movie 

X-23, a cherished Marvel figure, makes an unexpected appearance in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Her cameo concludes with her being swallowed by Alioth and reappearing on Earth-1005 in the finale, seemingly unharmed. In the closing moments, she joins Deadpool and his companions for a celebration. Though no definitive plans for her future role have been announced, fans eagerly anticipate her collaborations with various mutants and superheroes throughout the multiverse. An ideal solution would be creating a standalone X-23 film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Dafne Keen, recognized for her performances in “Star Wars: The Acolyte” and “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” has demonstrated her readiness to headline a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film as X-23. This character, belonging to the latest cohort of X-Men, may play a pivotal role in the mutant world following Secret Wars. Although some fans have expressed apprehension about the MCU’s choice of casting Wolverine and whether Hugh Jackman is suitable for the part, the franchise could instead focus on X-23. Keen’s portrayal of the character has already garnered significant attention and makes her a fitting heir to her father’s legacy.

X-23 could show up in MCU’s X-Men reboot or in Avengers 6

Marvel Studios is undecided about incorporating the X-Men squad into the MCU revamp, but viewers are in for a treat with a blend of fresh and recognized characters. Should X-23 make an appearance in the MCU, she could potentially be mentored by Charles Xavier alongside his other mutants. As a young and inexperienced mutant, X-23 might act as a link between the earlier X-Men franchise and the MCU’s revitalized X-Men team.

In the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, known as the Multiverse Saga, fresh superhero squads are set to make their entrance. The X-Men, with mutants taking center stage, are highly anticipated by fans. However, it’s also possible that other mutant groups could emerge. For instance, X-23, who has collaborated with various mutant teams in the comic books, might become a member of any new squads if they materialize within the MCU.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always up-to-date with the latest happenings in the world of pop culture and entertainment. And let me tell you, folks, we’re in for a real treat with The Multiverse Saga gearing up for Avengers: Secret Wars! With characters from Phases 4, 5, and 6 set to make their mark, this is going to be an epic event.

If the popular theory among fans of Secret Wars is valid, the upcoming film will bring together the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the X-Men universe in a collision reminiscent of Earth-616 and Earth-1610 merging in the 2015 comic book series. This fusion would cause significant damage to both universes, ultimately leading to the emergence of a new timeline that encompasses both the Avengers and X-Men. Similar to the comics, certain characters from the alternate universe may end up on Earth-616 by the conclusion of the story. Among these potential arrivals could be X-23 and Deadpool, along with other X-Men.

The arrival of X-23 in Deadpool and Wolverine marks only the start of her journey within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
