Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview about her tiny role in “Iron Man 3,” and how she has no interest in appearing in another Marvel project.“I’m hoping that we can create this world where we can get Jenna Ortega into the Marvel universe,” the interviewer said to Ortega, 22, and Paul Rudd as the pair promoted their comedy horror film “Death of a Unicorn.”“I did it once,” Ortega responded. “It was one of the first jobs I ever did.”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.”Ortega indeed makes a seconds-long appearance in the 2013 superhero film.

She has no speaking lines as the daughter of Vice President Rodriguez (Miguel Ferrer).Rudd, who has played Ant-Man in 5 Marvel movies, interjected to share his optimism that Ortega could return to the MCU.“Marvel is very good at like, kind of laying those bread crumbs,” the 55-year-old actor 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.”But Ortega responded, “They even took my name away.”“I count that, then I move on,” the “Wednesday” star added.“Iron Man 3” was directed by Shane Black and starred Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stéphanie Szostak, James Badge Dale, William Sadler, Jon Favreau, and Ben Kingsley.
