James Mangold, regissören bakom det tårdrypande superhjältedramat Logan, bekräftar i en intervju med Hollywood Reporter att han jobbar på en uppföljare till Logan tillägnad Logans klonade "dotter" Laura, eller mer känd som X-23 i serietidningskretsar. Mangold menar att filmen ännu befinner sig i ett tidigt stadie och menar att Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman-succé öppnar dörrarna mer för kvinnliga huvudrollsinnehavare i superhjältefilmer:
"Patty's success with that film only solidifies more for studios that there's less to fear with a female protagonist. The more that keeps getting hit home, that ends up giving me more space turning around and going, 'Well, here we are with a female protagonist. That's incredible. And what are we going to do with her?' And that's where we are with that [the Laura script] right now, dreaming"
Producenten Hugh Parker kommenterar vidare möjligheterna för spinoffen:
"Yes, there are other facets of that character and some others potentially to explore in their own way. It may not be in the same exact tonality or with the same genre orientations as Logan, but I think part of what has been opened up in this universe to all of us now is, drawing on different genre traditions, there are new pathways to be opened for new characters that populate this universe"

"And you could have it all, my empire of dirt I will let you down, I will make you hurt..."
