Despite the fact that the X-Men reboot is still a few years away from happening, Marvel Cinematic Universe has slowly but surely planted the seeds for the arrival of the mutants to Earth-616. So far, characters like Kamala Khan and Namor have been revealed to have X-genes and over the course of the last two phases in the Multiverse Saga, the studio could be introducing more mutants to the fold.
Now, a familiar face will reportedly be coming to the MCU in 2024's Deadpool 3 starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Insider Grace Randolph (via X-Men Updates) reports that the 17-year-old actress will reprise her role as Laura Kinney in the highly anticipated Deadpool sequel. So far, the specifics surrounding her rumored involvement in the project remain unclear.
It's worth noting that X-23 debuted in 2017's Logan which is set a few years before the events of the upcoming MCU flick so we can safely assume that this version of the character won't be from the same continuity.

Of course, nothing has been officially confirmed yet so it's still best to temper your expectations. But the idea of Keen showing up in Deadpool 3 doesn't sound too farfetched as the project is heavily rumored to feature characters from Fox's now-defunct Marvel Universe.
There's also a hot rumor making the rounds on social media that Marvel Studios plans to give the Foxverse a proper send-off to end the Multiverse Saga which I think is a clever move, especially with the mutants expected to make their debut in Phase 7.
Marvel Studios' Deadpool 3 is slated to hit cinemas on November 8, 2024.
