Jean Grey is in ‘The Wolverine’
Famke Janssen will reprise her role as Jean Grey in ‘The Wolverine’.
The actress will return to the X-Men franchise as the telekinetic superhero with a cameo appearance in the upcoming Hugh Jackman-starring action flick, a teaser trailer has confirmed.
A six-second clip, which was uploaded to video sharing website Vine by the film’s director James Mangold, teases the return of Jean Grey, who was last seen in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand.
Janssen first played the heroine in 2000’s X-Men and 2003 follow-up X2.
The surprise cameo follows in the footsteps of Janssen’s fellow original X-Men stars, including Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen, reprising their roles in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past, which will be directed by X-Men and X2 helmer Bryan Singer.
The actress previously revealed she was "waiting by the phone" to hear if she would be asked to return to the franchise.
She said: "I’m waiting by the phone. It would be very surreal. I would be honoured to be a part of any of these X-Men movies. It would be great."
The Wolverine follows the latest adventures of Hugh Jackman’s anti-hero character following the events of X-Men: The Last Stand.
Jackman previously starred in spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a prequel to the original trilogy.
