Dafne Keen on Trailers Role Revealed

“Deadpool & Wolverine” had loads of shock appearances. However one which was decidedly not a shock — at the least within the theater — was that of Dafne Keen, who returned as X-23, a.ok.a. Laura. Her position was given away in one of many trailers for the movie. And whereas which may’ve bothered some followers, it didn’t trouble her.

“Honestly, I trust Ryan [Reynolds] and Shawn [Levy’s] creative judgment so much that if they thought it was necessary, they were right,” she defined to TheWrap. “To me, anything they say [is] Bible. So I’m happy they did what theydid.”

In reality, director Shawn Levy warned her upfront that it’d be taking place. Based on Keen, the heads up got here in “the set of the most terrifying messages” ever, to the purpose that she satisfied herself he was really calling to ship dangerous information.

“Shawn was in Brazil doing press with Hugh and Ryan, and he sent me a text going, ‘Call me.’ End of text,” she recalled. “And then I called him and he didn’t pick up, and then he sent me another text: ‘Call me.’ Didn’t pick up. Texts me again, doesn’t pick up. ‘Call me!’ Doesn’t pick up. So I’m freaking out. I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ve been cut from the film. That’s it. He’s about to give me the worst news of my life.’”

“Turns out he had really bad signals, so the message was just resending, and he didn’t realize it, and he couldn’t get my calls because he didn’t have any service,” she continued. “So it was a complete misunderstanding, and he’d called me to be like, ‘Putting you in the trailer. Just wanted to let you know.’ So I knew, but there was a good, like, 20 minutes there of just sheer anxiety and panic.”

The trailer meant that Keen may lastly cease mendacity about having an element within the movie, even when she did get pleasure from telling these lies. It was a secret she’d been retaining for greater than a yr, as she discovered round February of 2023.

“It was early on during the filming of ‘Star Wars’ [series ‘The Acolyte’],” she recalled. “And I had to sit with it for a year! Yeah, pretty crazy. Very cool, though.”

“Deadpool & Wolverine” is now streaming on Disney+.
