Marvel’s Kevin Feige Teases the Upcoming Saga
In a rare moment of predictability, Marvel’s Kevin Feige has given us a sneak peek into the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine saga. He describes it as the “most wholesome R-rated movie ever.” While the bar might not be high with that cryptic proclamation, the final trailer does have a heart-tugging quality.
The Return of X-23
The most intriguing reveal is the return of Logan’s feral surrogate daughter, X-23. Played by the intense, talented Dafne Keen, her appearance is a highlight. In the trailer, we see Keen, all grown-up as X-23, also known as Laura. If you’re curious, treat yourself to the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer.
Confirming X-23’s Comeback
Speculation about Keen’s return as X-23/Laura has ended. Marvel couldn’t keep us in suspense for too long. The latest trailer features a jarring dialogue from X-23 to Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, “You were always the wrong guy, till you weren’t.” This poignant sentiment is sure to kick Logan back into his brooding hero mode.
A New Chapter for Wolverine and X-23
Fans of ‘Logan’ will recall Wolverine metaphorically adopting X-23, a clone of himself. His commitment to protecting her and other mutant children took precedence over his own life. Although ‘Logan’ was meant to be Jackman’s swansong, life and Hollywood have other plans. We get another look at Wolverine and his offspring. However, don’t get nostalgic just yet. Deadpool & Wolverine promises a different tonal octave compared to ‘Logan’, and Keen’s X-23 reincarnation is set to surprise us.
Dafne Keen on Returning as X-23
Speaking about her return, Keen said, “It was wonderful to come back and explore that as a grownup… understanding parental rage more and bringing that to the table for her.” She emphasized the growth in her character, from finding a father figure in ‘Logan’ to appreciating his significance with maturity. For those who loved her feral demeanor, rest assured, she’s still got claws.
Mark Your Calendars
Prepare to mark your calendars, because Deadpool & Wolverine will hit cinema screens on July 26. Get ready for an action-packed, emotion-filled R-rated thrill ride with enough unexpected twists to keep you guessing.
