Do you think Dafne Keen should stick around as X-23 post Secret Wars?
Dafne Keen was amazing as X-23 in Logan, and dare I say one of the best parts of Deadpool & Wolverine, and she has said multiple times that she would love to return to the role, so should she stick around as X-23 post Secret Wars?
Personally, I think it depends on what they do with the X-Men and Wolverine, if they're an established team, and Wolverine has an existing history, which is kind of what I hope for, they just throw us into it like DC did with Superman, then they should absolutely keep her around, as either a new variant, or multiverse shenanigens her into the adjusted history of the MCU. However, if they're starting with a fairly newish X-Men team, and Wolverine barely has any history beyond his origin story and fighting in wars, then I think that they might want to hold off on X-23.

So it's possible that they can have Dafne Keen play her post reboot
In the interim, Laura took up the mantle and she had a solo "All-New Wolverine" comic title launched and running during the period when Logan was "dead".
Marvel post-Secret Wars also brought over fan-favorite "Old Man Logan" from the dystopian Earth-807128 into the main 616 universe and he had a separate Old Man Logan title going on as well.
When Logan came back from the dead, they rebooted the main Wolverine comic and gave Laura a different ongoing solo comic title called "X-23".
So yeah, although Marvel had a bunch of "Wolverines" running around during Logan's death, the characters were pretty separate save for the occasional cameos/crossovers.
But the direction of her was really boring.
But thats just my 2 cents
Edit: if you downvote me, at least offer a source. Hint, there is none, because it's not true. The studio had nothing to do with her getting to be in the movie.
I don’t think Shawn Levy was up to the task with her character tbh. Anyway it would be good to have her stay on, but it would mess up the whole starting from scratch thing for X-men.
But I hope she doesn't, zero interest in seeing the character, or for more bloat in the big name teams.
if it was still Dafne Keen that would once again lead to Wolverine stealing focus from Scott and Jean... again
Hugh Jackman is just to big and any new actor doing logan will get compared to him.
Lets just do laura.
all complete with the Wolverine suit by Doomsday-Secret Wars
post-soft reboot, we have to look into it on how are we gonna deal with it
People moan about how/if it’s possible to recast Wolverine.
And the answer is simple… don’t. Just focus on X-23 for now.
Keep Logan around, but as a mentor role, and have Dafne do most of the heavy lifting, and cutting, and stabbing.
But nostalgia and fan service get in the way of good story telling. The mutant saga needs to be homegrown and new if it wants to be any good. D&W was a love letter to the Foxverse, and Doomsday hopefully will be the final send-off.
Let’s just focus on the First Class first.
Seeing how much older she is in the more recent movie was a reminder that time flies. I didn't realize it had been that long since Logan lol.
X-Men movies, sure, staring all the fan favorites: Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean, Storm, etc.
But also, a series centering around the X-Mansion in the spirit of Harry Potter, troubled youths, wild happenings, trauma and drama, mystery, starring X-23, Shadowcat, Magik, Sunspot, Mirage, Armor, Jubilee, Rockslide, Iceman, Banshee, Darwin, etc, maybe taking on the Hellfire Gang or something. Call it "The New Mutants"
Have some crossover between the movies and show, the occasional main roster X-Man in the show, the occasional Magik, Shadowcat, X-23, or Jubilee in the X-Men movies.
This way-too-early thinking is how DC screwed the pooch.
