Dafne Keen Dazzles in Red at London Screening Amid Deadpool & Wolverine Crossover.

Dafne Keen turned heads at the London screening of It Ends With Us on Thursday, stepping out in a stunning red figure-hugging halterneck dress. The 19-year-old British-Spanish actress, known for her role as Laura in Logan, made a striking appearance at Leicester Square, showcasing her signature blend of elegance and glamour.

Keen, who garnered acclaim for her portrayal of Laura, the child clone of Wolverine, has recently been in the spotlight due to her involvement in the highly anticipated Marvel crossover film, Deadpool & Wolverine. This film, featuring Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, has created a buzz with its star-studded cast and crossover appeal. The film also includes a cameo by Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively, who is currently promoting her new film, It Ends With Us.

At the It Ends With Us screening, Keen wowed attendees in a ruched scarlet gown adorned with rose appliques. She paired the look with red stilettos and styled her brunette locks into a sleek updo, accentuating her radiant appearance.

Keen’s return to the role of Laura, or X-23, in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film has been a topic of much speculation. Despite initial denials and keeping her involvement under wraps, Keen expressed her excitement about the project in a recent interview. “Of course, it’s sad. I love Hugh and creatively, I love Ryan [Reynolds] and I love Shawn [Levy],” Keen told On Demand Entertainment. She described Shawn Levy as one of the best directors and expressed her admiration for Reynolds, calling him “a legend.”

After the release of the new trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, Keen admitted to a mix of excitement and anxiety about her return. “I immediately screamed when my agent told me I was asked to return as X-23,” she told Entertainment Weekly. Keen shared that she dropped her phone in the bath after hearing the news, illustrating her shock and enthusiasm. However, once she was back on set, she felt as if no time had passed since Logan. “It was like eight years hadn't passed,” she raved.

In the newly released trailer, Keen’s character has a brief but poignant interaction with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. In one exchange, Wolverine tells her, “Whoever you think I am, you’ve got the wrong guy.” To which Laura replies, “You were always the wrong guy, till you weren’t.”

The crossover film has generated significant anticipation, especially among fans who are eager to see the reunion of Jackman and Keen. Keen’s appearance at the It Ends With Us screening further highlights her continued prominence in the entertainment industry.

In parallel, Blake Lively, who stars in It Ends With Us as florist Lily Bloom, has been actively promoting the film. In a recent interview on Lorraine, Lively discussed her interpretation of the story, which is based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. She explained that she views the narrative as a reflection of the complexities of life, encompassing both joy and pain. “I look at it as a women’s story, and in life, we have joy and we have pain,” Lively said. She emphasized that the story resonates because it captures the multifaceted nature of human experience.

It Ends With Us centers on Lily Bloom, who finds herself entangled in a love triangle between neurosurgeon Ryle, played by Justin Baldoni (who also directs the film), and her high school sweetheart Atlas, portrayed by Brandon Sklenar. The film delves into Lily’s struggle with Ryle’s violent tendencies and her subsequent reconnection with Atlas.

The adaptation of Hoover’s novel has been highly anticipated since its release was delayed multiple times. With a release date of August 9, fans of the book and the film are eagerly awaiting its debut.

As the worlds of Deadpool & Wolverine and It Ends With Us intersect, both Keen and Lively continue to capture the public's attention with their compelling performances and dynamic roles.
