Dafne Keen, who soared to fame as an 11-year-old prodigy in the film "Logan" and reprised her iconic role as Laura in the blockbuster "Deadpool & Wolverine" last summer, has inked a deal with UTA. On the small screen, the bilingual Spanish-English actress recently stole the limelight in Disney+'s "Star Wars" series "The Acolyte," which aired between June and July of last year. In this series, led by Amandla Stenberg and crafted by Leslye Headland, Keen portrayed the Padawan Jedi Knight Jecki Lon with elegance and prowess.
Prior to this, Keen captivated audiences in the BBC One/HBO fantasy series "His Dark Materials," where she portrayed Lyra Belacqua opposite Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy. This adaptation of Philip Pullman's novels spanned three seasons from 2019 to 2022. Her portrayal in "Logan" in 2017 garnered her widespread praise, and there were even whispers of a potential spinoff film featuring her character. Although this never materialized due to the acquisition of "Logan"'s studio, 20th Century Fox, by Disney, she was fortunate enough to reprise her role in "Deadpool & Wolverine," which grossed a staggering $1.3 billion worldwide. This reunion with her "Logan" co-star Hugh Jackman marked her debut in the Marvel Studios universe.
Keen will continue to be represented by Independent Talent Group in the U.K., Liebman Entertainment, Public Eye Communications, and Goodman Genow, as she continues to illuminate the entertainment industry with her exceptional talent.
