Famke Janssen<\/a> thinks it was \u201ca mistake\u201d for Marvel not to ask her back for Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 61-year-old actress famously played Jean Grey, a.k.a. Phoenix, in Fox\u2019s original live-action X-Men movies during the early 2000s, in addition to making brief appearances in the 2013 film The Wolverine and 2014\u2019s X-Men: Days of Future Past.<\/p>\n And while there have been some conflicting reports regarding her potential return for Avengers: Doomsday, Famke has remained adamant that she is not in the movie, most recently during Nerdtropolis at SpaceCon 2026<\/a> when the question was brought up once again.<\/p>\n \u201cI am so bad at keeping secrets that I always say to everyone I\u2019m the worst actor in the world. It\u2019s all on my face. You right away will read it,\u201d Famke said. \u201cI think they made a mistake, but hey, who am I? I\u2019m just a little me who thinks that.\u201d<\/p>\n She also said<\/a> she wished she \u201chad been able to explore more of that because it was such a-she\u2019s iconic and she\u2019s so powerful and interesting.\u201d <\/p>\n The Taken star added, \u201cIf I had an opportunity, I would show you some really amazing Phoenix.\u201d<\/p>\n Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of several major X-Men stars such as Ian McKellen as Magneto, Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, James Marsden as Cyclops, Kelsey Grammer as Beast, and Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler.<\/p>\n Last November, Famke said Marvel had \u201cnever ever\u201d asked her to return<\/a> as Jean Grey in the Marvel Universe.<\/p>\n Posted To:Avengers Doomsday<\/a> Famke Janssen<\/a> Marvel<\/a> X-Men<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t
