As of October 24th, 2025, Gwyneth Paltrow, the acclaimed actress and Goop CEO, has sparked renewed interest in her potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Paltrow, who has appeared in seven Marvel movies since the franchise's inception in 2008 with Iron Man, seemingly bid farewell to the MCU in 2019's Avengers: Endgame.
However, during a recent keynote speech at Brown University, where her son Moses Martin currently attends, Paltrow hinted at the possibility of future projects within the MCU. While the details remain scarce, her comments have ignited speculation among fans about how and where they might see the return of her iconic character, Pepper Potts.
Paltrow's history with the MCU has been an interesting one. She has openly expressed her love for working with Robert Downey Jr. and director Jon Favreau on the first Iron Man movie, despite her distaste for the wig she had to wear. Yet, the actress has also been honest about never actually watching an Avengers movie and has even forgotten her appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming on multiple occasions. Despite these quirks, it seems that Paltrow may still be open to answering the call to reprise her role as Pepper Potts in the ever-expanding Marvel universe.
