Jenna Ortega on the MCU: “Been There, Done That, Lost My Lines”

Buy Me A Coffee

Jenna Ortega is out here reminding Marvel that she’s technically already an alum—and that they did her dirty.

The 22-year-old actress, who has since skyrocketed to fame with roles that actually include her speaking, had one of her very first acting gigs in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yep, that’s right, before she was Wednesday Addams, she was… well… barely there.

While doing press for Death of a Unicorn alongside Marvel’s own ageless wonder, Paul Rudd, Jenna was casually reminded that she should totally do a Marvel movie.

“I did it once,” she deadpanned to Entertainment Tonight’s Rachel Smith, probably with the same energy as someone remembering a traumatic middle school haircut.

And then, plot twist: “They took all my lines out.”

Yes. All. Of. Them.

Jenna went on to reveal that she was in Iron Man 3 for approximately 0.002 seconds, playing the vice president’s daughter. If you blinked (or sneezed or looked down to grab your popcorn), you definitely missed her. She confirmed, “I take up the frame. I have one leg.”

ONE LEG.

Not even two. Just one, single, lonely leg made the cut.

Paul Rudd, being the supportive and charming Marvel dad that he is, tried to hype her up. “Marvel is really good at leaving breadcrumbs, so it might very well be that you come back,” he said, as if Marvel was sitting around thinking, You know what we need? A one-legged VP daughter spin-off!

“They’re gonna create something for you!” Paul insisted, like a Marvel fairy godmother. “Because they should be so lucky to have Jenna Ortega in their franchise.”

But Jenna, queen of shutting it down, wasn’t buying it. “They even took my name away,” she said. “I count that [as my MCU appearance], and then I move on.”

And move on she shall! Straight into Death of a Unicorn, which stampedes into theaters on March 28th. 🦄✨
