Avengers Doomsday Snub Stirs Phoenix Fury Famke Janssen, the statuesque Dutch sensation who famously ignited the screen as the fiery Phoenix in the X-Men franchise, has publicly slammed Marvel Studios for what she views as a monumental goof regarding their upcoming superhero circus. The actress who spent years levitating objects and wrestling with a cosmic force got refreshingly candid at SpaceCon about being sidelined while her former mutant comrades are all snagging golden tickets to the “Avengers: Doomsday” extravaganza. Famke Janssen Calls Out Marvel’s Blunder Despite whispers that she might resurrect her green-and-gold ensemble for another spin, Janssen openly admitted that Marvel has “never ever” rung her up or shot her a text with an offer to rejoin the fold. Isn’t it absolutely bonkers that they’d pass over one of the original X-Men powerhouses while rounding up nearly every other familiar mug from those early 2000s flicks? She joked about being rubbish at keeping secrets, claiming her poker face would immediately blow any cover, but tragically she’s got nothing to spill because she’s not involved whatsoever. The actress made it crystal clear she thinks the studio “made a mistake” by omitting her, though she modestly added “who am I?” as if she hadn’t literally perished saving her teammates in “X-Men: The Last Stand.” Avengers: Doomsday Leaves Out a Fan Favorite Marvel has been busy assembling an absolutely killer roster of X-Men veterans for “Avengers: Doomsday,” boasting heavyweights like Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and even James Marsden dusting off his Cyclops visor, yet somebody clearly neglected to RSVP Famke Janssen to the bash. The casting announcements have been pouring in like a flash flood, with Kelsey Grammer, Rebecca Romijn, and Alan Cumming all confirmed to revive their mutant personas, making Jean Grey’s omission all the more glaring. “Avengers: Doomsday” is rapidly shaping up as the ultimate multiversal free-for-all, dragging heroes from every corner of the Marvel reality, but the woman who once embodied the Phoenix Force is suspiciously absent from the invitation list. It’s particularly baffling given that Janssen has previously expressed genuine excitement about slipping back into Jean’s headspace, even noting last November that she’d be chuffed if fans still associated her with the role. She’s been fending off queries about potential returns for what seems like an eternity, and whenever a new Marvel project appears on the horizon, the rumour factory predictably kicks back into gear. Nevertheless, despite all the breathless speculation and wishful thinking, Janssen has definitively quashed any hope of her appearing in “Avengers: Doomsday” when it hits cinemas this December. Avengers’ Mega Reunion Ignores a Key Player The staggering scope of “Avengers: Doomsday” is enough to cause any comic book fan to experience a severe case of dizziness, with Robert Downey Jr. swapping his Iron Man armour for Doctor...
