Earlier last month, Marvel fans got some big news as we all discovered Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine would return for Deadpool 3 with Ryan Reynolds. Logan was one of the biggest movies, and it gave us a farewell to many’s favorite X-Men character, Wolverine, leaving behind his daughter Laura Kinney Howlett, played by Dafne Keen. Nobody knew if Wolverine or his daughter would return…but rumors have it she will be returning for Deadpool 3.
Logan’s Daughter Laura Might Be Returning
Logan’s daughter Laura is known as X-23, who was made as a mutant of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Dafne Keen did a great job in her time of playing Wolverine’s daughter, Laura, in such a huge movie. Playing the Wolverine’s daughter is a big deal; for her, at the age she was, it was very good acting. The actress was only 11 years old when filming Logan, a stand-alone spin-off in the Wolverine series. Rumors are not just suggesting that she might return in Deadpool 3, but maybe Avengers: Secret Wars.
Deadpool 3 is planned to take place before Logan’s death in Logan…which opens up a door for opportunities in this movie. However, Wolverine doesn’t find out he has a daughter until Logan. If these rumors turn out to be true, it is a little confusing to think about just how the writers will write her into the film. Will she be more of a background character, and neither of them realizes that they are kin? That would really be the only way to do it without messing up the timeline and plot of Logan.
However, other sources have said that maybe the Wolverine that is in Deadpool 3 is actually a variant of the one that died in Logan…since Hugh Jackman did say Deadpool 3 would not mess with the ending of Logan. However, if Deadpool 3 doesn’t take place before his death, it may be a good opening for Wolverine’s daughter, Laura, to team up with her “father” again after losing him…which would also welcome her back into the world after so much time as past. Deadpool 3 is dated to arrive on November 8th, 2024. As of right now, we do not know when MCU characters and X-Men characters will cross worlds.
