Generate Key Takeaways The Marvel multiverse may never be the same again after Dafne Keen, yes, that Dafne Keen, the razor-clawed breakout star of Logan and The Acolyte's mysterious Lyra, made a jaw-dropping appearance at the world premiere of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Held at the iconic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and streamed live to Disney+ subscribers worldwide, the blue carpet affair was already stacked with A-list superstars, comic book legends, and surprise cameos. But one woman managed to steal the entire show without uttering a word. Just one look. One smolder. One power pose. And Twitter lost its damn mind. 'God, She's Such a Baddie': Social Media Erupts Over Dafne Keen's Arrival From the moment Keen stepped onto the carpet, styled in a sleek, fitted midnight-blue ensemble that played off Marvel's signature cosmic palette, the internet went into full meltdown mode. X (formerly Twitter) users wasted no time unleashing a tidal wave of reactions ranging from awestruck admiration to absurdly thirsty confessionals. 'God she's such a baddie,' one user tweeted, capturing the mood of the masses. 'Could stab me a million times with those claws and I wouldn't even be mad,' another posted. 'How do people even date someone this fine? I would literally pass out every time I see her,' another tweet read, blurring the line between humor and hysteria.

And while many fans took the opportunity to simply admire, others expressed frustration over how Keen's recent work hadn't given her the spotlight she clearly deserves. 'This makes me hate The Acolyte even more. You hid… THAT, with make-up!' 'Can we give her a movie that doesn't suck shit?' 'Kevin [Feige], bring her back and keep her as X-23 permanently and my life is yours.'

From Lyra Silvertongue to Marvel Showstopper: Dafne Keen's Cinematic Journey At just 20 years old, Keen has become a genre mainstay, first tearing into audiences' hearts (and throats) as the feral Laura/X-23 in Logan (2017), before headlining HBO's His Dark Materials as Lyra Silvertongue. Most recently, she played Jecki Lon in The Acolyte, a role that divided fans not because of her performance, but due to the show's inconsistent reception. Her presence at the Fantastic Four premiere, where she was not listed on the official cast, immediately fueled speculation. Is Keen reprising her role as X-23 in the MCU? Is she joining a Young Avengers lineup? Will she claw her way into the Deadpool & Wolverine multiverse madness? Marvel fans are starving, and Keen might just be the secret weapon Kevin Feige plans to unleash next. Star-Studded Night With a Hint of the Cosmic More than 3,000 attendees gathered for the cinematic spectacle, which celebrated the highly anticipated launch of The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Marvel's First Family was out in full force: Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm) all dazzled the crowd, alongside key supporting cast members Ralph Ineson (Galactus), Julia Garner (Silver Surfer), Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles.

Manny Jacinto Reveals a 'Brutal' Deleted Scene From THE ACOLYTE That Showed His Sith's True Darkness — GeekTyrant
At Denver Fan Expo, The Acolyte star Manny Jacinto revealed that one particularly intense moment showcasing his character's viciousness didn't make the final cut. Jacinto played Qimir, a seemingly chill, wine-sipping rogue who's ultimately revealed to be a deadly Sith assassin known as The Stranger. While he already gets his hands bloody in Episode 5, there was originally a scene that pushed his brutality even further. Jacinto said, via Screen Rant: 'Star Wars has always been PG, but you want to find some brutal aspects of these fights… There was one moment, I think, where I just take one Jedi and keep slamming his head on to a rock, because we wanted to show how brutal this guy could be, without any remorse,' That's a level of violence we've rarely see in Star Wars . The moment likely would've been part of the episode where he cuts down a squad of Jedi who corner him in the jungle. Even without the extra head-smashing, that lightsaber brawl was already one of the most vicious in the frnachise. While The Acolyte drew plenty of conversation online, it ultimately struggled with viewership, despite being Disney+'s second most-watched series of the year. The show was canceled after just one season, which pissed a lot of fans off. The cast included Amandla Stenberg in a dual role as Osha and Mae, Dafne Keen as Padawan Jecki, Charlie Barnett as Jedi Yord, Carrie-Anne Moss as Master Indara, and Lee Jung-jae as Master Sol. Rebecca Henderson and Jodie Turner-Smith also played key roles, with Leslye Headland ( Russian Doll ) creating the series. According to cinematographer Chris Teague, the team stayed grounded in Lucas's vision during production: "Leslye would always say, 'What would George do? What would George think?' And that was our guiding principle." As for what's next in the galaxy far, far away, The Mandalorian & Grogu is heading to theaters next May, and Ahsoka Season 2 is also expected to drop sometime in 2026.
