While it has not been confirmed, it has been reported that X-23 will make her silver screen debut in the upcoming Wolverine 3.
The clone, X-23 would be joining forces with Wolverine, (Hugh Jackman) and Professor X (Patrick Stewart) in their adventures in the sequel. For Jackman, the upcoming film would be his last outing as the iconic mutant anti-hero.
While the plot for Wolverine 3 is still a mystery, the possible inclusion of Logan’s clone could shed a light on it. X-23 is the only successful attempt at replicating the Weapon X program that gave, Wolverine his adamantium skeleton. Her code name is derived from the fact that she is the 23rd test subject in the experiment, hence X-23. Although, she would later be given the name Laura Kinney.
Her powers are similar to Wolverine’s, she possesses superhuman strength, reflexes, agility, and a healing factor. In addition, the clone also sports retractable adamantium claws, though she has two claws on each hand as opposed to Logan’s three.
The third installment of the series, would also include Narcos‘ star Boyd Holbrook as a villain. The actor is said to be in the role of the head of security for a global enterprise who would be going against Jackman’s Wolverine.
To find out whether X-23 will make her debut, we will just have to wait for Wolverine 3 to hit cinemas March 3 2017.
