Deadpool & Wolverine: Dafne Keen Shares Her Thoughts On The Film's Emotional Campfire Scene

Dafne Keen, who plays X-23 in Deadpool and Wolverine & Logan, discussed the profound effect of the campfire scene on Logan's emotions. The X-23 actress was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter regarding her responsibilities in both Star Wars: The Acolyte and the huge Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbuster of this year. Initially, the actress was apprehensive about returning for a second film alongside Hugh Jackman. Nevertheless, it was moments like the one by the campfire that ultimately proved decisive for Keen.

Take a look at what she had to say down below:

"Imagine losing your only father figure in life, only to reunite with your father almost ten years later, but he doesn't know that you are his daughter and he doesn't have that bond with you in return. So it's heartbreaking and beautiful that they are almost father and daughter in every universe," Keen shared. "As soon as they meet each other, he feels comfortable enough to have that conversation with her. I don't think he would've had that conversation with anyone else, and she wouldn't have had that conversation with anyone else either. So it was a really lovely thing to play, because, even if he doesn't know her, he does know her. They're one and the same."

The character of X-23 was truly saved by Deadpool and Wolverine. For the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, Keen was overjoyed to re-use Laura's spectacles. Her character was supposed to have her own film in the works for quite some time. But according to what Keen told Entertainment Weekly, those plans were shelved when Disney and Fox merged. The possibility that she would never return to playing X-23 was something she had accepted. However, everything changed when the star received a call from Shawn Levy while filming Star Wars: The Acolyte; she is profoundly grateful for that improbable chain of events.

"It was very much a reality that then kind of fell through," Keen revealed. "There were talks of a script being made. I'd heard it was an X-23 [movie]. I dunno how much of what I'm saying is true because I was 11, but this is what I'd heard through the grapevine."

"I was quite sad," she said of Disney purchasing 20th Century Fox, and effectively ending the X-Men franchise as we once knew it. "I was like, 'Oh well, I guess that's it. That's life, and I'll have to move on' – even though this is one of the greatest characters I'll ever get to play, and annoyingly, I got to play her at 11! I peaked at 11."

Well, we have a feeling that we will get to see more of X-23 in the future. If Robert Downey Jr, the actor who played earth's greatest saviour in the MCU can return to the franchise as the villanous Dr Doom, Dafne Keen's X-23 can most certainly claw her way back onto the silver screen.
