In the series “X-Men” Janssen she played the role of telepath Jean Grey. The actress appeared in the first trilogy from 2000-2006. She also appeared in cameos in 2013’s “Wolverine” and 2014’s “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
IN “Avengers: Doomsday” Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), James Marsden (Cyclops), Rebecca Romjin (Mystique) and Kelsey Grammer (Beast) will reprise their roles from the Marvel mutant series. There are also rumors about the participation of Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool).
Fans are wondering whether other actors known from the “X-Men” series will also appear in “Doomsday”, at least in a cameo. Janssen admitted that she is often asked about her participation in the film. “Every time I do an interview, someone mentions it, it’s interesting,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“I should be flattered. I suppose the character resonated well with audiences. I played her a long time ago, but it’s nice that people still talk about her. Every time (Marvel) makes a new movie, someone mentions me,” Janssen continued. However, she emphasized that she has never discussed the possibility of returning to the role with Disney.
Some fans suspect that the actors are hiding their participation in “Avengers: Doomsday”. Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield did a similar thing in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” We will find out who will appear in the fifth film in the “Avengers” series on December 18, 2026.
