We reported yesterday that January Jones said in an interview that she hasn't been contacted by Bryan Singer to reprise her role as Emma Frost for X-Men: Days of Future Past. The initial thought from the comic community was that this movie would bring together both of the franchises with the majority of the cast coming back. But in an interview with Collider about Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Famke Janssen says she hasn't been contacted either:
"If you run into Bryan Singer, just tell him I’ve been sitting by the phone, I’ve been hearing rumors of all these people getting cast; what about me? I’m waiting…"

Janssen played Jean Grey in Bryan Singer's X-Men and X2 before becoming The Phoenix in Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand. Some would argue that it would make sense for Janssen not return seing as though she met her end (spoilers) at the hands of Wolverine in Ratner's movie.

Late last year, Janssen reportedly flew over to Japan to film a cameo for James Mangold's The Wolverine.

Confirmed to be returning from the original X-Men series are Ian McKellen as Magneto, Patrick Stewart as Professor Xavier and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine who will join Michael Fassbender as Magneto, James MacAvoy as Professor Xavier, Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique and Nicholas Hoult as Beast from X-Men: First Class. The film is to be directed by Bryan Singer and based off the famous two issue X-Men comic series from 1981. X-Men: Days of Future Past will be released on July 18th 2014.
