Jenna Ortega recently reminisced about her brief role in Iron Man 3 during an interview, revealing that her lines were cut, making her appearance minimal. Ortega, who has since gained fame for her roles in Wednesday and Beetlejuice, played the Vice President's daughter, but her character was largely sidelined in the final cut. Despite her minor role, Ortega humorously acknowledged her connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and discussed how surprising it is that she has become a recognized figure since her early acting days. As speculation swirls about a potential return to the MCU, her co-star Paul Rudd hinted that there could be future opportunities for Ortega in the franchise.

Could Jenna Ortega return to the MCU?

While there's no confirmation of a return, Ortega herself expressed interest in the possibility. Given her current popularity, fans are hopeful that Marvel Studios could create a fitting role for her in upcoming projects.

Iron Man 3, released in 2013, was significant in the MCU's evolution despite mixed reviews and is ranked among the highest-grossing superhero films, earning over $1.2 billion worldwide. It was a pivotal moment for both the franchise and Ortega, who showed early promise as a young actress. As the MCU continues to expand, the door remains open for former child actors like Ortega to make significant comebacks as characters that resonate with modern audiences.
