Not often is there an occurrence that bags you a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But if there is, questions of justice might be fair to ask after. But in front of an internet residence that has become relentlessly skeptical and mocking of even the truth? Forget mercy. Think Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada
when she spots you guiltlessly feasting on some chocolate cake after a long day. That might exactly be what Jenna Ortega may be looking at when, one fine day, she blatantly revealed her MCU
mishap.
To throw a little more light on things, this is what the modern-day horror luminary Miss Ortega had been met with when she revealed her slight skepticism about taking up a part in the Marvel Universe. Picking up a slightly disagreeable tone, not favoring the backends of the superhero-inclined cinematic universe. Residents of X seem to have created a narrative in response, distorting the actress’ reluctance as a snobbish claim.
And those who have not participated in the not-so-subtle takedown of this uncaped crusader have been tearing the archives apart to spot what had brought the actress to this negative notion about the MCU.

Ortega shared with ET, not about her role in the Marvel Universe, which the internet thinks she might be asking a little too much from,
but about her short of unjust experience with the Studios. Reminiscing one of her firsts, after being told that her appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
would be a pleasant addition
, as she sat beside Death of A Unicorn
co-star, Ant-Man
actualization, Paul Rudd. “They took all my lines out
“, she says regarding her 2013 cameo in
Iron Man 3
,
further stating that they had even taken her name away from the credits
after Rudd makes an effort to convince her that the ploy may simply be a breadcrumb to something great.

While a world-revered franchise, its popularity may often hide the nitty-gritties of what being a seller this big may bring. And it is rarely an act of sanctity hidden in there.
The unamended relationship between ‘Wednesday’ and ‘Iron Man’: Jenna Ortega’s rag story
While not a rags-to-riches situation, Jenna Ortega did come from humble beginnings. Humble may be to someone who has been seasoned by the industry with time, at least. But to laymen watching from the backseats, their feet thrown up on the table (the twitteratis in this case), the snatchery of a role does not count if you are a five-year-old in showbiz. In age, that too. It is unexpected for them to think a child who has now grown up and could be reflecting, would desire exposure and compensation for the expertise she had invested.
She was like 5 years old. Did she think she had a leading role in a movie about freakin iron man lol

Nobody even remembers she was in the movie up until she said it right now lol. Not to be an asshole, she’s definitely right about having control of your name and the work that you do. But she was nowhere A list in 2013 to where she is today.

While some may think it is entitlement speaking, others think that capital might be the real hand at play here.
