She revealed via DeadpoolUpdate on X, “I mean…I can’t wait. The trailer looked incredible! This is all really crazy and I’m looking forward to seeing it.”
While she didn’t directly address her association with the movie, her statement has created enough buzz about her return among fans.

The X-Men actor knew that his Logan co-star would be absolutely perfect for the role after he got punched by her during auditions. During Comicbook.com‘s Quarantine Watch Party of the X-Men movie, director James Mangold and Jackman reflected on their time working with the young star, praising her for her acting talent.
The Prisoners actor revealed, “When [Mangold] came up [with] the character of Laura, and that the movie was in essence about family we were worried about finding the right fit. Until we met [Dafne Keen]. The first day we auditioned her … she punched me in the arm so hard, I was literally bruised the next day. Hired.”
Her return to the MCU would surely going to be a big deal for fans, who enjoyed how she carried the movie with her potential. Even the director himself addressed the same as he shared,
“There’s no way this film works w/o the remarkable Daphne Keen. By the film’s 2nd half, the tables have turned & she is carrying the entire movie as Logan has retreated in sickness & self doubt. & of course, she holds the final frame.”
Given the strings of speculations surfacing about the project, fans wouldn’t have to wait for long to witness who all would eventually end up featuring on the project. As for the actress, Laura’s role “holds a very special place in my heart” as she told Looper, calling it an “incredible character.”
The anticipated movie features an ensemble cast including Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, Morena Baccarin, and Karan Soni among others.
Deadpool & Wolverine is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 26, 2024.
