While MCU fans are highly anticipating Hugh Jackman’s long-awaited return as Wolverine on Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 (or Wolverine 10, as Jackman continuously insists on calling it), Logan co-star Dafne Keen (who played young mutant X-23, also known as Laura) recalls the greatest advice Hugh Jackman ever gave her.
Speaking with Marie Claire, His Dark Materials and soon-to-be featured in upcoming Star Wars: The Acolyte star shares at a very young age, she was taught by Logan director James Mangold to always go ‘full out’ when acting in scenes. However, in contrast to Mangold’s craft-focused advice, Keen reveals the very words Jackman had told her, a most important lesson on how to treat castmates and crew members. Read her full quote about Jackman’s advice below:
It hits differently when something as impactful as Jackman’s advice continues to echo inside of you even as times pass by, especially since Keen has definitely grown more as a woman lately, as she also admits she is ready to take on more grown-up roles.
There are no official announcements on Keen possibly returning as Laura to star with Wolverine in Deadpool 3, however, there’s a high chance that if 2017’s Logan film were managed to fit in the MCU timeline, Laura could appear in the post-credits scene as a teaser for her eventual meeting with the mutant.
Meanwhile, Dafne Keen returns as Lyra in His Dark Materials Season 3, and has been reportedly cast in Star Wars: The Acolyte.
