Gwyneth Paltrow Hesitant About Reprising ‘Pepper Potts’ In THE AVENGERS Sequel

Attending the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Thanks For Sharing, her sex addition flick starring her Avengers co-star Mark Ruffalo, actress Gwyneth Paltrow vaguely discussed her reprisal as ‘Pepper Potts’ in Iron Man 3. Seemingly unsure if she'll be interested in reprising the role after completing the Shane Black-directed third installment, namely in Marvel's The Avengers Joss Whedon-helmed sequel, she tells E! News:

“I just came off of Iron Man 3, which is as special effects-y and action-y as it gets, so to do something like [Thanks For Sharing] where it's really small, funny and exciting, is really great. I don't know [about returning for The Avengers seqeuel], I'm getting old for this shit, you know what I mean?”



Described as a “technological crisis thriller,” set in the world of international war, arms & terror, Marvel Studios' “Iron Man 3” stars Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Dale Dickey, Ashley Hamilton, James Badge Dale, with Sir Ben Kingsley and Jon Favreau. Shane Black (“Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”) takes over directorial duties from Jon Favreau, who helmed the first two “Iron Man” films. Principal photography will occur primarily in North Carolina and China. And “Iron Man 3” is set for release in May 3, 2013.

It's not like she'd need a huge role... 5 mins at the most is all that would be neccisary

These actors kill me. They get hired for a move that does billions and then start complaining about being "typcast" or "getting too old." These people need to start eating Ramen noodles for dinner, so that they can remember what it's like to suffer.

I don't see why she's hesitant about Avengers 2, it's not like she had a big role in the first one, she had like 3 scenes, and I'd bet if she appeared in the sequel she'd have less.

Maybe her departure could lead to Demon In A Bottle? I mean they've already sort-of tackled Tony quitting drinking in Iron Man 2 after the drunk party armour scene, but what better reason for him to relapse and really lose it all to drink than the first woman he's ever loved leaving (however they decide to do that; her leaving him, or being killed off).

I don't see why Demon in a Bottle would be out, part 2 like part 1 showed Tony easily crossing that line so they could work as omens of things to come.

As far as Paltrow, I'd opt for them writing her off than replacing her and then doing like ACira said above.

Gwyneth, you are my favorite MCU love interest, you are only second to Jennifer Connelly's Betty in my eyes, and she's two years older.

Your barefoot stroll through Stark Tower in short shorts left a lasting impression on men and women alike.

We NEED you, don't go....

I don't think it will matter. I am thinking Jane Foster will be the main female this time around(besides Black Widow of course). I have a feeling they are going to need her science in the Avengers 2. I think the only reason she was not in the first one was because she was pregnant when they shot it.

Her role in the Avengers film was so physically demanding it's easy to see why she is having reservations...by easy to see I mean WTF?!?!? Seriously?!?! Show up, put on another pair of jean shorts, prance around for a few days, collect your pay check.

Replace her with another actress or introduce some of Tony stark's other love interests. Either way, as long as RDJ signs on for a couple more Marvel flicks, I'm fine.

she says "I'm getting old for this shit"

She really meant "I'm getting annoyed from this shit"

She's saying she's going to die in Iron Man 3, which would be pretty good.

I'm fine with it. Larocca has been drawing Nicole Kidman as pepper for years.

I find it funny how Marvel fans love the actors and actresses that play in the Marvel films, until they start to talk bad about the films or talk about not returning. People always talked so highly of Paltrow as pepper and now that she might not come back people don't care and talk crap about her? And the same goes with Norton, Howard, Rourke, Dallas, and even the directors like Favreau and Branah.

Wow, I'm really surprised about this. It looked like she had fun during the filming of The Avengers.

I really like her as Pepper Potts. She's great in the role. I don't want her to be recasted in The Avengers 2.

@Tainted87 That was beautiful.

What is the "Shit" she is referring to anyway? She couldn't possibly mean playing make believe in which she is paid many millions of dollars for is shit?

These actors and actresses live a life most of us can't imagine. Meanwhile, most of America is waking up every day to go to a job that allows them to barely get by with the wages they earn.

'I'm getting old for this shit, you know what I mean?'
How positively Shakespearean.
And here I was thinking she was talking about Chris Martin.
Goodbye Gwyneth.

She has the least special effects-y and action-y shots in every movie.

It must be rough, all that looking upset and stuff. Not to mention the missing of phone calls on a jet. I'm surprised she made it out of Avengers.
