As Marvel‘s Avengers: Doomsday clock continues counting down, Famke Janssen appears to be missing out on the X-Men reunion.

The actress, who previously played Jean Grey/Phoenix in the X-Men franchise, recently said Marvel Studios “made a mistake” not bringing her back for the upcoming movie, premiering Dec. 18, despite several of her former co-stars returning.

“I am so bad at keeping secrets that I always say to everyone I’m the worst actor in the world,” she told Nerdtropolis. “It’s all on my face. You right away will read it.”

Janssen added of MCU excluding her, “I think they made a mistake, but hey, who am I? I’m just a little me who thinks that.”

Despite no apparent invitation from Marvel, Janssen noted she still has some of Phoenix left in her and ready for another installment. “Oh, yes. I am ready. I am ready to show you some Phoenix, some very dark Phoenix,” she said.

In November, Janssen revealed she’s “never ever” heard from Disney about potentially reprising her role for a future MCU project.

“Every time I do an interview, it’s mentioned. It’s interesting,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “I didn’t realize that was such a big part. Every interview I do, that will come up, and of everything I say, that is going to be the only thing that’s gonna be printed.”

Janssen continued, “I should be flattered, I suppose, that this character has resonated with people. It’s been so long, but it’s nice that people are still talking about her. I’m sure every single time there’s a new movie that they’re doing… it’ll come up again.”

Following her last appearance as Jean Grey in X: Men: Days of Future Past (2014), Janssen’s franchise co-stars Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) and Kelsey Grammer (Beast) have signed on to reprise their roles in Avengers: Doomsday, premiering Dec. 18, 2026.

Director Jake Schreier, who is helming Marvel Studios’ X-Men reboot previously gave an update. “I can’t say anything about it, but we’ve started work on X-Men, and that’s obviously very, very exciting,” he told Empire in August.
