Possible Details Leak about X-23 in WOLVERINE 3

View fullsize

Some potential new details have surfaced about a character that is going to be in Wolverine 3. The details come from a casting call for the film that the Hashtag Show managed to get ahold of. That casting call is said to be for a character name Zoe, but it’s believed that the name Zoe is just a cover for the character Laura Kinney, a.k.a. X-23, who is the female clone of Wolverine. You’ll understand why after you read the following description. This character has been rumored to be a part of the story. That rumor gained credence when Bryan Singer said he pitched the character to the studio as a replacement for Wolverine when Hugh Jackman hangs up his claws, and now we have this:

"20th Century Fox are seeking a a 11 - 14 year old girl to play the role of Zoe in a brand new movie!!  [ZOE] 11 to 14 year-old girl. Still a child, but a wounded badass, a pound puppy, raised in captivity in a time of battle, without support systems of normal childhood. She has no family and until now, has never left the compound in which she was born. She has an authentic intensity – her expressions and body language speak volumes, without words. Once released in the outside world, everything is new – every experience and every image a first. This does not mean everything is wonderful or wondrous. Some things she sees (things we might regard as conventional) may scare her or anger her and things we may find interesting may bore her. She has not been instructed in many social conventions – she can eat like an animal. She studies and often mimics people’s behavior. She has a high IQ, but is also a temperamental, impulsive and feral creature that can raise genuine mayhem. She is a girl that has never been kissed. Looking for a REAL girl - not made up or done up. Also with genuine edge, not made up or put on. Martial arts or gymnastics experience preferred but not necessary – but actress must be extremely physical and able to improvise scenes without necessarily resorting to speech. Do NOT play it 'cute.'"

There’s no word on how old this casting call is, the character could have already been cast, and there’s a chance that we’ve already had out first look at her. Over the weekend, we posted some photos from the set of the film featuring Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and a mysterious young girl who could easily be playing an 11 to 14-year-old girl. Could that be our first look at X-23? Only time will tell.

The James Mangold-directed movie is currently shooting in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s set to be released on March 3rd, 2017.

We have a big Wolverine 3 character breakdown. But before we get to that, let's discuss what we currently know for sure and what is unconfirmed. Hugh Jackman recently posted these photos, this added fuel to the speculation that the storyline will be based on Old Man Logan, but we have not yet received official confirmation of that.
