Jenna Ortega made a brief appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2013’s “Iron Man 3,” though it might have gone unnoticed if you blinked. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega mentioned her small role in the film, where she played the vice president’s daughter with minimal lines. Despite having her lines cut, Ortega shared her experience of being in the movie alongside Paul Rudd, who expressed hope that she could return to the MCU in the future.
Rudd, a seasoned veteran in the MCU, praised Marvel’s ability to lay breadcrumbs for potential future appearances, suggesting that they would be fortunate to have Ortega in their franchise again. Despite Rudd’s optimism, Ortega remained doubtful, noting that even her name was taken out of the credits for her role in “Iron Man 3.”
The film, which starred Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Don Cheadle, went on to achieve immense success at the box office, grossing over $1.2 billion worldwide. “Iron Man 3” follows Tony Stark’s journey as he faces off against the Mandarin and becomes stranded in a remote town, showcasing the character’s resilience and ingenuity.
