Janssen reached another career height when she played Jean Grey in the Marvel Studios adaptation of 'X-Men.' This led to numerous other appearances as the character, most recently in the 2014 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.' Since the X-Men films in the early 2000s, she has focused on television work such as some failed pilots, and she most recently appeared in the Netflix series 'Hemlock Grove.'
