Chris Claremont Says Famke Janssen Will Return as Jean Grey in Avengers: Doomsday

Marvel has not announced the casting, which leaves the veteran writer’s comment as an unconfirmed claim.

Overview

  • In a Power of X interview, the longtime X-Men writer said “they’re bringing back the original cast, including Famke,” referring to Janssen’s Jean Grey.
  • An official Avengers: Doomsday X‑Men trailer already features Patrick Stewart as Professor X, Ian McKellen as Magneto, and James Marsden as Cyclops.
  • Coverage notes Claremont previously signaled Chris Evans’s return before it became public, adding weight even though this new claim lacks studio confirmation.
  • Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars dated for December 17, 2027.
  • Reports describe Doomsday as a multiversal crossover drawing Fox‑era X‑Men into the MCU, with additional returns and plot specifics still unverified.
