X-Men actor Famke Janssen has hinted at whether or not there is a chance she could come back to reprise her role as Jean Grey at some point in the future of the MCU.
Now that Disney has officially acquired Fox, the likes of the Fantastic 4 and the X-Men are all set to make their debut in the MCU. In Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Patrick Stewart appeared as Professor X and officially introduced the X-Men into the larger Marvel world.
As well as this, the finale of Ms Marvel also teased the mutant heroes, with Ms Marvel herself being referred to as a mutant in the final moments of the first season of the show.
And with the X-Men shaping up to play a big role in the future of the MCU, fans are wondering whether or not Marvel is planning on bringing back some of the OG actors to reprise their roles. After all, Hugh Jackman is once again set to come back as the Wolverine for Deadpool 3.

“Um, you know, I played Jean Grey [and] Phoenix five times. It has been an incredible journey. It has given me the most amazing opportunities over time. So, who knows? Is that chapter done? Potentially. Is there an opening? Who knows? I just look forward and I don’t really look back. I just enjoy new opportunities in my life.”
