“That can’t be right,” Gwyneth Paltrow recently exclaimed in an interview with Vanity Fair. The actress was in disbelief over the number of Marvel films she’s reportedly starred in: “I can’t have been in seven. Is that true?”
It is — and that number may be growing soon. Paltrow teased as much during a keynote at Brown University’s Family Weekend, telling the audience that she “might be in another Marvel movie” sooner or later. It’s hard to know whether the actress is officially returning to Marvel’s Cinematic Universe as Pepper Potts, partner to Tony Stark and a fledging hero in her own right. Paltrow has always been hilariously nonchalant (sometimes a bit clueless, even) about her role the MCU: she has no idea which films she’s appeared in, let alone how many are on her resume. But there may be some truth to her most recent comments on Marvel either way. It’s been years since Pepper Potts has appeared in a Marvel project, but with the franchise headed towards its biggest crossover yet, Paltrow could easily return. But will she be the same character we know and love?
