In the realm of television, a versatile Spanish-English actor who has recently shone brightest appeared in the “Star Wars” series on Disney+, titled “The Acolyte,” which was shown from June to July last year. In this production, she played Jecki Lon, a Padawan Jedi Knight. The show was helmed by Amandla Stenberg and created by Leslye Headland.

Earlier, Dafne Keen was the leading actress on the BBC One/HBO fantasy show “His Dark Materials,” where she portrayed Lyra Belacqua alongside Ruth Wilson and James McAvoy in a three-season adaptation of Philip Pullman’s novels that started airing from 2019 until 2022.

2017’s “Logan” performance brought her widespread recognition, and there were rumors of a standalone film featuring her character. However, this idea didn’t materialize following 20th Century Fox’s acquisition by Disney. Instead, she was invited to reprise her role in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which grossed an impressive $1.3 billion worldwide. This brought her back together with her “Logan” co-star Hugh Jackman, and marked her debut within the Marvel Studios family.

Independent Talent Group, Liebman Entertainment, Public Eye Communications, and Goodman Genow will all still represent Keen in the United Kingdom.
