One of the actors from the original X-Men<\/a><\/strong> films, Famke Janssen<\/a><\/strong>, who denied her involvement in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday<\/a><\/strong> several times, will now reportedly be part of the film. The MCU event movie, dropping later this year, will feature several returning characters from the 20th Century Fox franchise, like Patrick Stewart\u2019s Professor X and Ian McKellen\u2019s Magneto.<\/p>\n

Famke Janssen\u2019s Jean Grey now said to be in Avengers: Doomsday<\/p>\n

Famke Janssen\u2019s Jean Grey from the original X-Men films will reportedly appear in Avengers: Doomsday, as per a new rumor. This rumor comes from The Beyond Reporter<\/a>, who earlier claimed the same last month.<\/p>\n

In addition, the user claimed that Halle Berry\u2019s Storm from the original X-Men films would also appear after a fan asked about the same.<\/p>\n

Janssen and Berry\u2019s involvement in Doomsday has not been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios as of writing.<\/p>\n

Notably, Janssen earlier shot down the prospect<\/a> of playing Jean Grey again. While speaking to Entertainment Weekly<\/a> in October 2025, the 61-year-old revealed that Marvel \u201cnever\u201d asked her to step into the shoes of the telekinetic and telepathic mutant again.<\/p>\n

However, the Dutch actress acknowledged her character\u2019s impact on fans. \u201cI should be flattered, I suppose, that this character has resonated with people,\u201d she shared. \u201cIt\u2019s been so long, but it\u2019s nice that people are still talking about her. I\u2019m sure every single time there\u2019s a new movie that they\u2019re doing, like [is it]\u00a0Doomsday? \u2026 it\u2019ll come up again,\u201d the actress added.<\/p>\n

Moreover, while chatting with Kristian Harloff<\/a> in November 2025, Janssen expressed disinterest in reprising Jean Grey<\/a> in Avengers: Doomsday. She reasoned that she is now geared towards projects where she has creative input, highlighting her Netflix show Amsterdam Empire \u2014 where she is an executive producer \u2014 as an example, and stressed that a film like Doomsday wouldn\u2019t offer her such an opportunity. However, she didn\u2019t rule out the possibility of \u201cdoing anything that\u2019s just being part of a fun ensemble.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Halle Berry neither confirmed nor denied rumors of Storm\u2019s return in Doomsday in an Entertainment Tonight<\/a> interview in April 2025, jokingly suggesting that fans should \u201ckeep hoping for [it].\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the actors from the original X-Men films, Famke Janssen, who denied her involvement in the upcoming…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":511810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[80728,37189,171,2193,169823,68263,7644,3391,53,67,132,68,7645],"class_list":{"0":"post-511809","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-avengers","9":"tag-avengers-doomsday","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-entertainment-news","12":"tag-famke-janssen","13":"tag-halle-berry","14":"tag-marvel","15":"tag-marvel-cinematic-universe","16":"tag-movies","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-x-men"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115884510648490974","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=511809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/511809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/511810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=511809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=511809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=511809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
