When is the last time Famke Janssen has been to Australia? “I don’t know. I have no idea!” the actress told MTV News, remaining coy, about rumors of her filming a Jean Grey cameo for THE WOLVERINE.

Famke has shown interest in Bryan Singer’s X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, but has not heard anything about her involvement, saying she has been “waiting by the phone” for any potential calls. “It would be very surreal. I would be honored to be a part of any of these X-MEN movies. It would be great.

“She died as Jean Grey and she died as the Phoenix.” she continues. “Is there another incarnation of her that we haven’t seen? I don’t think so,” said the actress. “Bryan Singer is a very smart guy, but if we go younger, I’m out too. I’m all for an interpretation of that on whatever front. I’d be thrilled.

When asked about how the story and her character developed in X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, Famke says “I think we could have done more. To me, it felt like it should have been a WOLVERINE movie, it’s own movie. But there were a lot of other people who needed their screen time for whatever reason.”
