With her rising popularity, fans of Jenna Ortega have been wondering whether she’d continue her Iron Man 3 role in the MCU. Could she return? Here’s all you need to know about her character’s return prospects.
Who did Jenna Ortega play in the MCU’s Iron Man 3?
Jenna Ortega played the U.S. Vice President’s daughter in Iron Man 3.
The Wednesday actress was ten years old back when she shot her brief role for the third Iron Man outing. Even though her cameo was extremely small, it was still crucial to the narrative of the film. Towards the end, Vice President Rodriguez was found to be an accomplice in Aldrich Killian’s schemes.
His motivation to be in on the Extremis program was to heal his disabled daughter, played by Jenna Ortega. After all, she had lost her leg, which could have grown back with Extremis. But besides this information, not a lot is known about her character, who remains nameless to this date.
Will Jenna Ortega return to the MCU?
While there’s no confirmation of Jenna Ortega’s MCU return yet, it’s always possible in the future.
Many MCU characters from the past have made surprising comebacks. Avengers: Endgame brought back Ty Simpkins as Harley Keener from Iron Man 3 during Tony Stark’s funeral. Captain America: Brave New World is set to bring back Samuel Sterns and Betty Ross from The Incredible Hulk. So, if Kevin Feige and Co. saw fit, then they could also bring back Jenna Ortega’s character and use the actor’s recent popularity efficiently.
Considering that her character doesn’t have a first name yet, she could be reintroduced as any relevant Marvel character if the narrative warrants it.
