Jenna Ortega said that she isn’t interested in a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as she already had one.

The star shared she is done with the studio after mentioning her small part in 2013’s Iron Man 3 that was cut out from the movie, saying, “They took all my lines out.”

The Wednesday actress reflected on her part in Iron Man 3 in a March 14 interview with Entertainment Tonight after the interviewer said, “I’m hoping that we can create this world where we can get Jenna Ortega into the Marvel universe.”

Ortega replied that it was too late, saying, “I did it once.” She continued, “It was one of the first jobs I ever did.” The actress explained her experience with the MCU, saying, “They took all my lines out. I’m in ‘Iron Man 3’ for a quick second. I take up the frame. I have one leg, and I’m the vice president’s daughter.” 

Regarding her experience with Marvel, the actress said, “I count that, and then I move on”

Ortega suggested that her bad experience with Iron Man 3 doesn’t make her very excited about participating in the MCU

“They even took my name away,” she said, referring to the fact that she’s simply credited as “Vice President’s Granddaughter” in the movie. She explained, “I count that, and then I move on.”

Ortega’s character in Iron Man 3 highlighted something important for the plot

Ortega appears for a few seconds about 90 minutes into Iron Man 3. The movie’s villains advocate for a regenerative treatment that allows for the regrowth of limbs and, in some cases, causes them to explode.  

Ortega’s character, who is missing a leg, shows that her grandfather is working with the villains rather than siding with the superhero Tony Stark (Iron Man). She doesn’t have any lines, and her presence in the movie only highlights where her grandfather’s true loyalties lie.

Paul Rudd shared his optimism for Ortega’s return to MCU, saying the studio is very good at “laying those breadcrumbs”

After hearing Ortega’s comments on the MCU, her Death of a Unicorn costar, Paul Rudd, spoke on behalf of Marvel Studios to share his optimism after having portrayed Marvel’s Ant-Man in five films. 

“Marvel is very good at kind of laying those breadcrumbs, so it might very well be that you come back,” Rudd shared. “They’re gonna create something for you! ‘Cause they should be so lucky to have Jenna Ortega in their franchise,” he added.
