Millie Bobby Brown originally auditioned for Laura/X-23 in LOGAN.

Dafne Keen flawlessly portrayed a ferocious and emotional Laura Kinney aka X-23 in LOGAN. Now we know of another young actress who auditioned for the coveted role. “Stranger Things” breakout Millie Bobby Brown revealed on the Variety series ‘Actors on Actors’ that she tested for the role with star Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold.

“I was like, ‘It’s going to be amazing, I’m going to really prepare,’ and I sat in my room reading the lines,” she said. “Honestly, for me, I felt so — I felt [like] an actor, in the audition room, hitting Hugh Jackman, and James Mangold sitting right in front of me.”

Even though she didn’t get the role, she has nothing but praise for Keen’s performance, saying “I watched it; she was incredible. It meant so much to me.”
