The “X-Men” (2000) star has often been asked by fans whether she will return to Marvel’s superhero franchise. Famke Janssen has not played the telepath Jean Grey since “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (2014).

“Every time I give an interview, this subject comes up,” Famke Janssen told Entertainment Weekly.
“It’s interesting. I didn’t realize it was such a big thing. In every interview I do, the topic comes up, and out of everything I say, that will be the only thing published,” the actress commented.
She first played Jean in “X-Men” (2000), then in “X2: X-Men United” (2003), “X-Men: The Last Stand” (2006), “The Wolverine” (2013), and made a brief appearance in “X-Men: Days of Future Past” (2014).
Fans are eager to know if Famke Janssen will appear in “Avengers: Doomsday,” which promises to bring back X-Men actors to reprise their roles for the first time since Disney took control of Marvel.
When asked if Marvel had ever invited her to return as Jean after the Fox era, the actress replied: “Never. Never, ever.”
So far, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and Kelsey Grammer are the only actors from that era of the X-Men films confirmed to return to their roles in “Avengers: Doomsday.”
The film is scheduled to premiere on December 18, 2026.
