Instead of 'slipping her into the background of another movie,' Fox might sign on Dafne Keen to return for a X-23 solo movie.

AceShowbiz - Dafne Keen might return to reprise her role as X-23 in a future movie following her impressive debut in "Logan" that became Hugh Jackman's swan song as Wolverine, but don't expect her to join one of the "X-Men" movies. She might get her own solo movie instead.
Producer Hutch Parker told IGN, "I don't know definitively, but in terms of the stuff we've been talking about, it's not sort of slipping her into the background of another movie. It's looking at that character, which is a great character and has a pretty interesting run within the comics, to find a story that we think she could carry or certainly be kind of majorly significant within."
"That's the only kind of thing that Jim as a storyteller, a filmmaker ... that's the way his sort of process works. And the way his mind works in terms of what he would aspire to. Which isn’t to say that the studio couldn’t have a conversation about something else, but the one that we've been kind of discussing loosely and kicking around is more likely to be its own film."
In a previous interview, Director James Mangold said, "Anything's possible. I've certainly talked to [the studio] about it. I even talked to them about it before we made the movie. I thought she was just such a great character, but with what Dafne did, I think that certainly that's possible."
