Regarding her experience with Marvel, the actress said, “I count that, and then I move on”
Ortega suggested that her bad experience with Iron Man 3 doesn’t make her very excited about participating in the MCU.
“They even took my name away,” she said, referring to the fact that she’s simply credited as “Vice President’s Granddaughter” in the movie. She explained, “I count that, and then I move on.”
Ortega’s character in Iron Man 3 highlighted something important for the plot
Ortega appears for a few seconds about 90 minutes into Iron Man 3. The movie’s villains advocate for a regenerative treatment that allows for the regrowth of limbs and, in some cases, causes them to explode.
Ortega’s character, who is missing a leg, shows that her grandfather is working with the villains rather than siding with the superhero Tony Stark (Iron Man). She doesn’t have any lines, and her presence in the movie only highlights where her grandfather’s true loyalties lie.
Paul Rudd shared his optimism for Ortega’s return to MCU, saying the studio is very good at “laying those breadcrumbs”
Ortega, 22, was joined by Paul Rudd in the interview as the pair promoted their upcoming comedy horror film Death of a Unicorn.
After hearing Ortega’s comments on the MCU, her Death of a Unicorn costar, Paul Rudd, spoke on behalf of Marvel Studios to share his optimism after having portrayed Marvel’s Ant-Man in five films.
“Marvel is very good at kind of laying those breadcrumbs, so it might very well be that you come back,” Rudd shared. “They’re gonna create something for you! ‘Cause they should be so lucky to have Jenna Ortega in their franchise,” he added.
