Jenna Ortega has claimed she is done with Marvel after her previous role in Iron Man 3 was turned into a wordless cameo.

The Wednesday star opened up about her tiny part in the 2013 movie after a reporter expressed their desire to see her in ‘the Marvel universe’.

During the interview with Entertainment Tonight, Jenna immediately revealed that she had already been in a film.

‘I did it once,’ she noted. ‘It was one of the first jobs I ever did.’

However, her moment didn’t play out as originally intended as she continued: ‘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.’

The VP just had a conversation with Iron Man over the phone and then goes to kiss his daughter on the forehead during a Christmas family function. 

The camera pans down to reveal that his daughter is wheelchair bound as a result of a lost limb. 

Jenna’s interview was taking place alongside Paul Rudd, who has famously starred as the MCU’s Ant-Man since 2015 – starring in five films to date.

The 55-year-old actor interjected to say: ‘Marvel is very good at like, kind of laying those bread crumbs. 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.’

However, Jenna responded: ‘They even took my name away… I count that, then I move on.’

Jenna – who recently turned heads in a chic look at the SXSW Film Festival – stars alongside Paul in A24’s Death Of A Unicorn – which also stars Will Poulter, Tea Leoni and Richard E. Grant.

‘I definitely have always loved wearing all black. I don’t know who doesn’t, it’s just such a classic go-to. I think everyone looks good in it.’

The star added that Wednesday Addams, ‘encouraged me to embrace that side of myself more. 

‘I’ve always had immense respect for goth culture and music, so after becoming even more familiar and growing a deeper admiration for that sort of aesthetic, I do find myself casually weaving it into my day-to-day life more and more.’
