‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ star Dafne Keen vows she hasn’t ‘been involved in any conversations’ about an MCU return

Dafne Keen didn’t just get really good at lying has a role in “Deadpool & Wolverinebut she also really enjoyed doing it. But when it comes to her potential future in the MCU, the actress swears to TheWrap that she’s telling the truth when she says she hasn’t been part of any talks.

“Honestly, I’m not lying. No, I haven’t been involved in any conversations,” she says. “Hopefully there have been conversations! I have no idea.”

Keen reprized his “Logan” role as X-23 — aka Laura — in the “Deadpool” trequel, Marvel’s only film release this year. broke several box office records. Where is the character now? Well, she has been living in what is known as the Void.

It’s a wasteland where – according to Johnny Storm (played once more in “Deadpool & Wolverine” by Chris Evans, after originating the role in 20th Century Fox’s “Fantastic Four”) – “everything useless goes before it becomes annihilated forever. And where TVA sends people who don’t play nice with the rest of the Multiverse.”

She has formed a team with Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Blade (Wesley Snipes), Gambit (Channing Tatum) and Johnny, and together they help Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) fight Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) .

And while the Wolverine in this film is not the Wolverine from “Logan” that Laura was connected to, the two still share DNA and bond as she explains to him the role he served in her world.

At the end of “Deadpool & Wolverine”, we see that Laura and Logan are still together and celebrate Wade’s birthday. That certainly leaves the door open for either of them to return in the MCU, and Keen would certainly be in on it — especially if it means working with Jackman again.

“I’ve gotten so much from Hugh, and I owe my whole career to him, and I owe him so much of who I am as an actor, even just aside from the opportunities it’s given me,” she explained. “Just the way I act on set is completely, completely his doing. I think having such an incredible role model to look up to is the greatest thing he’s ever given me.”

Keen notes that even as a child she admired him as an actor, but that she gets to work with him now that she’s grown up. It was a completely different but still wonderful experience.

“I think as an 11-year-old, there’s only so much you can really absorb creatively. To get to work with him at 18, and get to really see how incredible he is as an artist — as if I get goosebumps talking about it,” she continued. “He’s really one of the greatest actors, I think, to me. And he has such an incredible truth to him and versatility, and he has so many layers, and he’s so incredibly nuanced, and he has the most incredible range, and he’s such an incredible hard worker.”

“He makes it very easy for everyone around him to work. He is a very easy person to work with and every time I deal with him I feel he brings out the best in me and I think he brings out the best in everyone around him.”

As for what a future team-up between Logan and Laura might look like, Keen has some ideas, including perhaps a sitcom or a sketch show. But if we never see them on screen together again, she has a clear picture of what their lives are like.

“In my mind, they’ve teamed up and they’re like a dream team,” she explained. “They both get on each other’s nerves. She adores him. They have this incredible multidimensional connection because they’re the same person, and they’re out there fighting for justice in my head with their yappy friend, Deadpool.”

“Deadpool & Wolverine” is now streaming on Disney+.
