She was always my favorite human character in the nightmare on elm street films. I also loved that chick would be day dreaming all the time and they would show her day dreams play out in her mind. I always felt like that added something to her character that made her more interesting.

Okay, this might be a stretch…

Famke Janssen talking to (oh, I dunno…Galactus?) as Jean Grey remembers and does a compare/contrast of her first and second iterations as she became the menacing unleashed id known as _Phoenix_ (before Days of Future Past) and then became the more-carefully-guided compassionate _Phoenix_ (after Days of Future Past).

And, yeah…being as potent as Phoenix is supposed to be, she DOES remember both histories!

–G!  
I’d go watch that! It would be one of those Origin tales!

She had a small part in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so there’s that.

Teri Garr, maybe?
