While Jean Grey actress, Famke Janssen can’t reveal much about her role in THE WOLVERINE, besides saying “It’s a flashback sequence, but that’s all I can say,” she did open up to What Culture about why she thinks the X-MEN films are successful and continue to churn out mega-hits.

“I think that the X-Men series is a really successful one in constantly finding new and additional characters, or younger versions of the same characters to explore. Of course the X-Men as a comic book has so many characters that filmmakers can explore. I like what they’re doing. I think that they’ve always chosen really fine actors.

With X-Men: First Class you had Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy so it’s amazing the kind of actors they keep getting for these. It’s a classy series so I’m proud to be a part of it.”
