10 More Movies We Desperately Wanted To Happen (But Never Will)

10. X-23 Logan Spin-Off

James Mangold's Logan easily ranks as one of the boldest and most impactful superhero movies of the last decade.

And after initially saying goodbye to Hugh Jackman's Logan during the closing stages of that hugely emotional X-Men tale, Wolverine's fan-favourite daughter X-23/Laura seemed poised to take centre stage in the next chapter of Mangold's gritty story.

The director himself even admitted to working on a script that would focus on Dafne Keen's explosive character (via THR) back when Logan landed on screens in 2017.

But as of 2023, there's still no sign of an X-23 spin-off looking at the days after Logan told his daughter not to become a monster like him. He died with his heart in his hands, dammit!

Disney eventually buying Fox led to future X-Men stories being paused before the studio eventually turned their attention towards bringing the mutants into the MCU. And the likes of the Gambit, Doctor Doom, Multiple Man, and, of course, X-23 flicks were all massively affected by the move.

Mangold now has his plate full with his upcoming Star Wars feature and a few other non-mutant projects. So, those desperate to see Laura unleash her claws once again on the big-screen will likely have to settle for a potential Deadpool 3 cameo.
