Deadpool and Wolverine have released what could be their final trailer, focusing less on comedy and more on the weight of Wolverine reclaiming his role as an X-Man to save Deadpool’s universe and potentially all universes, including the Avengers. The trailer features the spoiler appearance of Dafne Keen as a grown-up Laura, presumably embracing her X-23 role from the Logan universe, a surprise that was not leaked prior to the trailer’s release.
Dafne Keen had previously denied being a part of the film when asked by On Demand Entertainment, citing respect for Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds and the decision not to mess with Logan’s timeline. This move mirrors Andrew Garfield’s denial of his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home until the movie aired. Keen, now 19, appears to be playing a grown-up version of the character X-23, sparking curiosity about her role and potential for future action scenes.
While the trailer does not show Keen fighting as X-23, she has recently showcased her action skills in The Acolyte and His Dark Materials, demonstrating her potential as a future action star. The decision to reveal her character in the trailer may have been a missed opportunity for a surprise moment, but the trailer is still worth watching. Deadpool and Wolverine is set to release in just one week on July 26, enticing fans to see how Keen’s character will fit into the storyline.
Keen’s role as a grown-up Laura raises questions about her character’s development and potential involvement in action sequences. Her previous roles in action-packed shows indicate her ability to handle stuntwork and fight scenes, setting her up for success as a potential action star in the future. The decision to include her character in the trailer, despite potential surprises being spoiled, adds to the anticipation for the release of Deadpool and Wolverine.
Despite the reveal of Dafne Keen’s character in the trailer, the anticipation for Deadpool and Wolverine remains high as fans eagerly await the film’s release. The trailer’s focus on Wolverine reclaiming his role as an X-Man and potentially saving all universes adds an element of gravity to the storyline, shifting away from the comedy of previous trailers. Keen’s involvement as a grown-up Laura hints at potential action sequences and character development, enhancing the excitement for the upcoming film.
