Dafne Keen, the fierce X-23 from Logan and breakout star of His Dark Materials, is revving up her career with a major casting coup. MovieWeb reports that shes teamed up with Anthony Mackie, Marvels new Captain America, for the high-octane action thriller Barracuda, directed by Neil Burger of Divergent fame. ComingSoon confirms the duo leads the film, with Keen playing Jodie, a kidnapped teen rescued by Mackies haunted smuggler Karl in a bloody breakout that spirals into a 100-mile desert chase toward the US border, stealing a prized 1973 Plymouth Barracuda along the way. Inkl adds that production kicks off this week in New Mexico, marking a pivotal step for Keen as she dives into gritty adult roles post her Disney Star Wars stint in The Acolyte, where Aceshowbiz notes she shone in the High Republic era series now earning praise on Disney Plus despite early buzz doubts.

No public appearances or social media mentions have surfaced in the past few days from reliable outlets, keeping the focus squarely on this business milestone with long-term buzz potential alongside Mackie. Unconfirmed whispers of on-set prep in Mexico lack verification, but the timing aligns with Highlands Film Group handling worldwide rights. Recent headlines in the last 24 hours remain quiet, underscoring Barracuda as the hot ticket shaping her biography.
