AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown recently revealed she auditioned to play X-23 in the 2017 film Logan when she was eleven years old, according to an interview reported by IGN South Africa.
Millie Bobby Brown recently shared a fascinating piece of casting history during a promotional interview with Entertainment Weekly for Enola Holmes 3. The Stranger Things breakout revealed that she auditioned for the role of X-23 in the acclaimed 2017 Marvel film Logan when she was roughly eleven or twelve years old. While Dafne Keen ultimately secured the iconic role and delivered a legendary performance alongside Hugh Jackman, the revelation offers a great look at what almost happened in superhero cinema.
Looking back, casting Brown at that age would have brought an entirely different energy to the gritty R-rated X-Men spinoff. At the time of auditions, Brown was just about to break into global stardom with her defining role in Stranger Things, meaning her career trajectory could have looked remarkably different with a major blockbuster franchise notch under her belt so early. For a detailed look at the original interview, you can read the full report over at IGN South Africa.

As casting lore continues to emerge from actors looking back at their early auditions, it is clear that Hollywood's biggest roles often come down to a handful of pivotal moments.
