Ever since the release of the 2022Prey, Midthunder has been receiving praise for work in the movie. InPrey, Midthunder plays Naru, a female member of the Comanche tribe who wants to prove herself and does so by taking down the Predator.

Laura Kinney is an artificially engineered mutant who was born in a lab. She was created by using Wolverine’s DNA and has the same powers as Wolverine.
Considering Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is making his MCU debut, there might be possibilities that fans may see X-23 joining the MCU as well.
Amber Midthunder has also played Kerry Loudermilk in Fox’sLegion,which was set in an alternate timeline of Fox’sX-Menfranchise. So, Midthudner can also reprise his role from Legion in the MCU, as the cinematic universe has begun building branches withX-Men.
However, nothing is official yet, but considering thePricelessactor has done an impressive job with the Comanche warrior’s character, the actress could do a great job with Laura Kinney’s character as well.
