By now you likely know Deadpool & Wolverine brings back some of Marvel’s most popular pre-MCU characters. Anyone from Wesley Snipes (Blade) to Jennifer Garner’s Elektra returned after years-long breaks; even Dafne Keen returned as Laura Kinney/X-23 from 2017’s Logan. If it were up to Keen, she’d be back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before too long at all.

“I would love to come back. I would pay them to come back. Playing Laura has been the biggest honor of my life,” Keen tells ComicBook’s Phase Zero podcast. “To me we’ve only scratched the surface with her since she’s such a complex character. She’s so cool, just from a fan’s standpoint.”
Was Taylor Swift cut from Deadpool & Wolverine?
Although many characters did end up returning, Deadpool & Wolverine helmer Shawn Levy says the production never considered bringing Taylor Swift aboard to play Dazzler despite rampant fan speculation.
“It was never a conversation. It was never even a seed of a discussion,” Shawn Levy toldย EW. “Obviously, Ryan and Blake โ ย and myself, to a far lesser extent โ have our own relationships in real life with Taylor. But, yeah, those rumors were loud and slightly baffling, but nothing I said or did was going to make them quiet down until this movie came out.”
