Personally, I thought that video was AWESOME! Reminded me of that episode of COWBOY BEBOP, the one with the creepy, floating, assassin in a top hat. Specifically when the part hit where they should the experimentation on the assassin. SO GOOD!
But fans of the comics surely know by now that the young girl, played by Dafne Keen, is none other than X-23. In the comics, X-23, or Laura Kinney, was cloned from damaged DNA from Logan. But because the DNA was damaged, they couldn’t salvage the Y chromosome, thus Logan’s clone became female.
She named named X-23, as she was the 23rd attempt at cloning Logan.
Once Laura’s mutation activated, the adamantium was grafted on her, much like her, well, father before her. And much like her father, escaped the facility, and left to seek out & join the X-Men.
Now, it’s unclear how much of X-23’s origin/story will make it into the LOGAN. As the trailers hint that there are no more mutants left in the future world of LOGAN. And on top of that, it’ll be curious to see how much of the OLD MAN LOGAN storyline plays into the movie, as X-23, if memory serves, was not part of it.
But either way, definitely stoked for the movie! What do you think of the video?
LOGAN opens March 3rd.
