Gwyneth Paltrow reminds the MCU fandom that he has no power to return as Pepper Potts. After Tony Stark’s heroic death, many have wondered if the Oscar-winning actress will be a part of future Marvel films. She, for once, doesn’t have an answer. The ‘Shakespeare In Love’ actress wants the audience to ask Marvel executives about her future in the franchise.

While participating in a Q&A for her social media, Gwyneth Paltrow asked the fans to politely back off with the Marvel questions. She made it abundantly clear that the decision to bring her back is in the hands of Marvel executives. All she can do is wait for the studio’s call while making a decision.

It’s almost as if Tony Stark’s death in the MCU is the end of the road for Gwyneth Paltrow. Since ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ it’s as if Marvel doesn’t know what to do with her character. But since there has been no official announcement, it’s not a stretch to think the actress is still a part of the plans. Or is she?

During an Instagram Q&A, Gwyneth Paltrow was asked about her place in the MCU after the departure of Robert Downey Jr. The ‘Shakespeare In Love’ actress playfully reflected on the question, saying, “Oh my god, stop yelling at me! We just stopped doing it because Iron Man died. And, why do you need Pepper Potts without Iron Man? I don’t know. Call up Marvel and yell at them, not me. I’m just sitting here.”
