"I did it once. It was one of the first jobs I ever did. They took all my lines out. I'm in 'Iron Man 3' for a quick second. I take up the frame, I have one leg and I'm the vice president's daughter." said Jenna Ortega.
Actor Paul Rudd, who was interviewed alongside Ortega, then interjected, hopeful that the 'Scream' star could one day return to the MCU. "Marvel is very good at like, kind of laying those bread crumbs, and so it might very well be that you come back. That they are going to create something for you, cause they should be so lucky to have Jenna Ortega in their franchise," Ortega wasn't as assured.
"They even took my name away. I count that, then I move on," she said. 'Iron Man 3' went on to gross over 1.2 billion USD at the worldwide box office, which is around the same amount as the first two 'Iron Man' installments combined.
