Laura, also known as X-23, made a great first impression with audiences in Logan, leading many to wonder where she'll show up next. Here, I'm gonna break down all of the possibilities through the X-Men movies that have been announced.
- Solo Film: The most obvious possibility is her own film, which Logan director James Mangold expressed interest in. Dafne Keen proved that she can hold her own in tough situations and even managed to give off a great performance. She displayed so much personality in her few lines of dialogue and showed off her ability to kick ass. Laura, as young as she is, has much more story to tell and a solo film would be the best way to continue her adventure.
- New Mutants: The New Mutants were roughly introduced in Logan, with Laura actually being a part of them from the start. At the end of Logan, we see Laura with The New Mutants heading to the border/Eden/The Safe Zone. What's waiting for them at the border? New Mutants will probably further this story and include Laura as well. Why would Laura just abandon them now? It makes the most sense to see Rictor and Laura leading The New Mutants on their quest to maybe bring back the mutant race? A solo film for Laura would make more sense following this film.
- X-Force: This option doesn't seem as likely as the rest, but X-23 is usually a member of X-Force. Laura may be too young for this team, but the R-rating of Logan and her ability to dismember her foes effortlessly shows that she can handle being on a team with Deadpool. It would make more sense for her to be included in the sequel, but if they're in need of members for the team, Laura would fit the bill.
- Deadpool 2: This film doesn't seem like a good fit for Laura. Especially since this probably takes place a few years before Logan. I guess with Cable anything's possible, but I wouldn't bet on seeing her here. At the very most, we'd get a nod to her or reference from Deadpool.
- X-Men: Supernova: I can pretty much guarantee we won't be seeing her here. Maybe an after credits scene at the most.
