5 Ways X-23 Could Replace Wolverine In The Future Movies

With Hugh Jackman finally giving up the role of Wolverine, the X-Men franchise will need a new character to take the place of the hero. And X-23 may be the perfect candidate for the job. Here are five ways she could replace Wolverine in future movies:

X-23 Could Travel Back To Deadpool’s Timeline

The film Logan will take place in 2029, a distict future where mutants have become nearly extinct. Laura Kinney aka X-23 is but a young girl of 11 years when the movie takes places. The comics depicted that X-23 grows at a faster rate than normal children do, so she could have been in a fully developed adult body by the time Deadpool 2 tags along. Cable also comes from the future, is a time traveller, so the chances of the two meeting is closer than most.

She Could Join The X-Force

In the comics, she was a member of the militant task force known an X-Force. It was put together by Cable and had members like Wolverine and Deadpool. Since Wolverine is dunzo, it’s more than likely that X-23 will take the place of the clawed one. X-Force has already been greenlit to be featured in the third Deadpool film.

She Could Fight Her Own Past

X-23 has a very interesting past, one that haunts her even as she evolves from her beginnings. In All-New Wolverine, Laura had discovered that clones, different variations of her had been created. Of course, she deals with it in the most Wolverine fashion, by slashing and killing every one of her clones while she contemplates her identity, a storyline worthy of a solo X-23 film.

She Could Finally Wear “THE WOLVERINE SUIT”

Wolverine fans have waited fifteen years to only be disappointed time and time again by Hugh Jackman’s refusal to wear the famous black and yellow suit. The iconic costume could finally get a chance to be seen on the silver screen if Laura Kinney finally gets a chance to be in an X-Men film r better yet, her own solo movie.

X-23 As An X-Men

X-23 may be the clone of Wolverine, but there was a time in her life when she was as much a part of the X-Men world as Logan was. And since a sordid timeline is what the franchise has offered to their audience, let the phoenix that is X-23 rise out of the confusion, slashing her way into the movie world where she deserves a chance to be seen.
