Domino was one of the best character introductions to the series. She HAS to be in DP3!

I’ll take this as confirmation

Dafne Keen Credited Her Rumor-Denying Skills To Andrew Garfield

Dafne Keen was cast as X-23 in Logan at the age of 11. The film was supposed to be the final appearance of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and was a blockbuster. It was also supposed to be a passing of the torch from Logan to X-23, a clone of Wolverine. However, after numerous delays and Disney’s acquisition of Fox, that was the last of X-23.

Or so it seemed until the final teaser of Deadpool & Wolverine revealed Keen’s cameo in the film. The Acolyte star had long denied her involvement in the film as she was asked in multiple interviews for the Star Wars show. However, after the reveal, she mentioned to EW that she took notes from Andrew Garfield’s denial of his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

I had a great time keeping it secret. 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. All the inspo comes from Andrew Garfield. He is the master at this.

The actress mentioned that her agents were secretly working on getting her the cameo and she got a call when she was relaxing in the bath after a long day of shooting.
