Jenna Ortega Declines Future MCU Roles After Iron Man 3 Experience

The actress revealed her brief Marvel role left her dissatisfied, while Paul Rudd remains open to returning as Ant-Man.

Jenna Ortega, now a rising star, reflected on her brief appearance in 2013's Iron Man 3 as the Vice President's daughter, where her role was heavily cut and uncredited.
Ortega stated she has no interest in returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, citing her negative experience during her first role in the franchise.
Fans had speculated Ortega might join the MCU in a major role, including as Shadowcat in a future X-Men project, but she has firmly dismissed these rumors.
Paul Rudd, Ortega's co-star in the upcoming film 'Death of a Unicorn,' expressed his willingness to reprise his role as Ant-Man if Marvel calls him back.
Ortega continues to focus on her burgeoning career, including starring roles in 'Death of a Unicorn' and the second season of Netflix's 'Wednesday,' set to release later in 2025.
