Millie Bobby Brown Reveals She Auditioned for X-23 in Logan

Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown revealed that she auditioned for the role of X-23 (Laura) in the 2017 film Logan, when she was approximately 11 or 12 years old. During the audition process, Brown screen-tested directly with Hugh Jackman, the film’s star. Though Brown did not ultimately secure the role—which went to Dafne Keen—she reflected on the experience positively, noting that while she was initially disappointed by the rejection, she recognized that Keen was the better fit for the part. Brown shared these details in a video interview promoting Enola Holmes 3 for Entertainment Weekly. The revelation provides insight into Brown’s early career, a period before her breakthrough role in the Netflix series Stranger Things.
