Famke Janssen On Possibly Reprising X-Men Role: “You Never Know”
deadline.comFamke Janssen is not sure what Marvel has planned for the X-Men saga but doesn’t shut the door on the idea of reprising her role of Jean Grey / Phoenix.
Janssen originated the X-Men role in the 2000 film and would go on to play the mutant in 2003’s X2 and 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand.
The actress also made cameos in 2013’s The Wolverine and 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. “I don’t know.
