The Avengers Won't Star Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts

Gwyneth Paltrow will not star as Pepper Potts in The Avengers
Gwyneth Paltrow will not star as Pepper Potts in The Avengers
Collider spoke with actress Gwyneth Paltrow for her upcoming movie Country Strong, where she revealed she won't be appearing in The Avengers. Here's what she told the site, when asked if she was sure about not returning as Pepper Potts in the upcoming Marvel movie:

"I think it's a for sure. I think they're starting shooting soon and they probably would have asked me by now."


While we have known for some time that Robert Downey Jr. would reprise his Tony Stark role from Iron Man and Iron Man 2, it wasn't known if Gwyneth Paltrow would appear as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts.

Of course, things could change before The Avengers starts shooting and we'll be sure to keep you posted with any further updates on The Avengers as soon as we have more information.

Marvel's The Avengers was released May 4th, 2012 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg. The film is directed by Joss Whedon.

    So this article should have been titled, 'The Avengers Might Not Star Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts', because that's what I get from it, not that she defiantly won't be in it. She says, "I think it's a for sure." and "they probably would have asked me by now.", but she doesn't say I'm not going to be in it. Also, Movieweb states in this article that 'things could change' and they of course did. :)

    @Cartman: Maybe you should start looking at your sentence formation and grammar, then we could understand more than half of what you write. For all your talk of communication you don't seem to be able to do it very well.

    @Josh: lol, it's funny 'cause it's true.

    One would think she would be even if it was just for a sec.

    It's probably for the best as there would likely be nothing for her to do in the movie anyway.

    I feel about like @Diaigma, I would have loved to see her in it because I like Paltrow. I think she's a good actress and I loved her as Pepper Potts.

    I'm sure after some intense therapy, we'll all move on...
    She'll probably be in the sequel to the Avengers - oh, I mean Iron Man 3.

    Some people will have to be given the short shrift here, and Pepper is essential to Iron Man, not necessarily The Avengers. This is alright with me.
