Dafne Keen revealed she found great joy in keeping her Deadpool & Wolverine appearance a secret until now.
On Friday, July 19, the upcoming movie released its third and final trailer, revealing the return of the 19-year-old actress best known for playing Laura, or X-23, Wolverine’s surrogate daughter, at the age of 11 in Logan.
In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, she shared that recently she had some press work to take care of for her new role as Jedi Jecki on The Acolyte, where she was asked about any involvement in the forthcoming Marvel-Disney collaboration.
"I had a great time keeping it secret," she told the outlet. "I had to do a bunch of press for a job that I just finished. I got asked in every interview, and I just got to lie, which was really funny."
Keen said she was inspired by Andrew Garfield, who did something similar to keep his surprise reappearance as Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home as a secret.
"All the inspo comes from Andrew Garfield," Keen credited the two-time Academy Award nominee. "He is the master at this."
Deadpool & Wolverine, which reunites Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman's Logan for the first time on screen since 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is set to premiere on July 26.
