Jenna Ortega has opened up about her experience of working with Marvel – and it’s safe to say that she wasn’t exactly thrilled with the result

Jenna Ortega, who played the on-screen daughter of Miguel Ferrer’s character in the 2013 film Iron Man 3, confessed that all her lines were cut when asked about the possibility of returning to the comic book franchise.

The 22-year old-actress revealed to Entertainment Tonight, “I did it once. It was one of the first jobs I ever did. They took all my lines out. I’m in Iron Man 3 for a quick second. I take up the frame, I have one leg, and I’m the vice president’s daughter.”

In the interview, she was accompanied by her Death of a Unicorn co-star Paul Rudd, who suggested that despite her brief appearance in the film, he could see her making a Marvel comeback because the studio is “very good” at doing that sort of thing with lesser-known characters.

“Marvel is very good at, like, kind of laying those breadcrumbs, and so it might very well be that you come back. That they are going to create something for you, ’cause they should be so lucky to have Jenna Ortega in their franchise,” he explained.

However, Jenna didn’t seem too enthusiastic about the idea of starring in a new Marvel film as she pointed out that the studio even removed the character’s name before the movie’s release. She said: “They even took my name away. I count that, and then I move on.”

Her remarks come just days after reports surfaced that Jenna and Taylor Russell are both being considered for roles in a remake of the 1992 erotic thriller ‘Single White Female’, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie, based on John Lutz’s 1990 novel ‘SWF Seeks Same’, starred Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh, and was directed by Barbet Schroeder. The plot revolves around Allison Jones, a recently separated woman who rents out a room in her New York City apartment to Hedra Carlson.

However, after reconciling with her boyfriend, Allison begins to notice odd behavior from her new roommate. ‘Single White Female’ was a box office success, raking in $84.1 million from a $16 million budget.

The film even inspired a direct-to-video sequel, ‘Single White Female 2: The Psycho’, in 2005. Despite featuring Kristen Miller, Allison Lange, and Brooke Burns, the sequel was not well-received by critics.
