If you blinked, you may have missed Jenna Ortega‘s MCU debut in 2013’s “Iron Man 3.”
In a sit down with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega briefly discussed her small role in the film after the interviewer told her, “I’m hoping that we can get Jenna Ortega into the Marvel Universe.”
“I did it once,” Ortega replied. “It was one of the first jobs I ever did. 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.”
Paul Rudd, who was interviewed alongside Ortega, then interjected, hopeful that the “Scream” star could one day return to the MCU.
“Marvel is very good at like, kind of laying those bread crumbs,” Rudd, an MCU veteran, said. “And so it might very well be that you come back. That they are going to create something for you, cause they should be so lucky to have Jenna Ortega in their franchise.”
Ortega was doubtful despite Rudd’s optimism, adding, “They even took my name away. I count that, then I move on.”
“Iron Man 3” went on to gross over $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office, which is around the same amount as the first two “Iron Man” installments combined. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle, the film follows billionaire genius Tony Stark as he is marooned in a small mountain town after doing battle with a phony terrorist known as the Mandarin.
