About Dafne Keen
Dafne Keen Fernández is a Spanish and British actress. Keen made her debut as a child actress on the series The Refugees (2015). Her breakthrough role was as Laura, in the X-Men superhero film Logan (2017) which she reprised for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). She also starred as Lyra Belacqua in the television series His Dark Materials (2019–2022) and Jecki Lon in the Star Wars series The Acolyte (2024). To prepare for the role, Keen "religiously" read the books in her first two weeks on set. Headland created the character Jecki for Keen after seeing her performance in Logan. It became Keen's highest-grossing release, the second-highest-grossing film of 2024, and the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. The film received mixed reviews, although Amari Allah of Wherever I Look praised Keen's "charisma and presence" and compared her to a younger Natalie Portman.
