Gwyneth Paltrow has been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the beginning. She brought to life Tony Stark’s secretary, Pepper Potts. Gwyneth’s Pepper gave more humanity to Tony Stark. Her character was not just a love interest for Iron Man. She helped ground Tony Stark when he would hyper focus on something that he could do without asking if he should.
In a recent interview with Variety, Paltrow stated that she is retiring as Pepper Potts after Avengers: Endgame. She stated she is open to coming back for a cameo or day shoot but doesn’t want to focus on her character. She went on to say that she is too old to be in a suit.
With speculation that Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark will die in Avengers: Endgame, it makes sense that Paltrow will pull back from the MCU. There was some hope that Paltrow might step in as a Pepper version of Iron Man but that doesn’t appear to be the direction for the character.
