20 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Logan
10. The Spin-Off That Would Have Been
Dafne Keen’s Laura/X-23 was by far and large the breakout character in Logan and for good reason. Keen’s layered performance was able to match franchise veterans Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, and the character’s fight scenes were some of the best seen in the entire X-Men franchise.
So, it was no surprise that a spin-off was planned for the character after Logan made its global bow and proved to be successful. This pushed Mangold and writer/X-23 creator Craig Kyle to develop a story for the character with Keen set to return. Jackman had even hoped Laura would be one of the new faces of the franchise after his departure.
However, since Disney’s acquisition of Fox not long after the film's release and the MCU’s possible complete overhaul of the X-Men, we may sadly never see this version of Laura ever again.
