X-Men star Famke Janssen has said that Marvel Studios “made a mistake” by neglecting to send her an invitation to reprise her role as Jean Grey in Avengers: Doomsday.
The actress, who played the telekinetic Mutant in the 2000s X-Men trilogy as well as follow-up films like Days of Future Past, shared her feelings about the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) at SpaceCon. While many of her former castmates are confirmed to return, and despite previous reports to the contrary, she said she’s sitting out for this year’s Avengers movie, whether she likes it or not.
“I am so bad at keeping secrets that I always say to everyone, ‘I’m the worst actor in the world because it’s all on my face,'” Janssen said when asked if she was good at keeping secrets amid casting rumors for the new MCU movie. “You right away will read it. So, I mean, I think they made a mistake, but hey, who am I? I’m just a little me who thinks that.”
Janssen’s Jean Grey has appeared in plenty of pre-MCU comic book movies and is one of the central characters in the X-Men films. When it was eventually confirmed that other X-Men stars like actors like Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden would return for Avengers: Doomsday as Beast, Professor X, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Mystique, and Cyclops, respectively, many believed she would soon put back on her superhero suit, too.
