We're still more than about a hundred-and-seven days away from the theatrical release of Deadpool & Wolverine, but there's already a good amount of speculation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Marvel fans have been wondering which characters, either as new additions to the franchise or previous Marvel roles, could cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. While the first trailer for the MCU movie already confirmed the return of some fan-favorite characters, there are still actors from Fox's previous X-Men movies and the first two Deadpool movies that fans are speculating to return in the MCU film.
Famke Janssen, who portrayed Jean Grey in X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, The Wolverine, and X-Men: Days of Future Past, was the latest to weigh in on the possibility of a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine. Although her former co-star Hugh Jackman is reprising his iconic role as Logan / Wolverine in the upcoming MCU film, Janssen has admitted that she will not be reprising her X-Men role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
“I’m not in [Deadpool & Wolverine]. No. Everybody keeps asking. So, at some point, I was like, ‘Wait, am I in Deadpool, and I just don’t know it yet?’ But, no. I’m not. No, no," Janssen said in a recent interview with ScreenGeek. "Everybody keeps asking. So, at some point, I was like, 'Wait, am I in Deadpool, and I just don't know it yet?' But, no. I'm not. No, no."
