Avenger’s fans are not going to like this, and trust us, we are not very thrilled about it either! Gwyneth Paltrow, who has remained the face of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Pepper Potts, Iron Man’s secretary and eventual girlfriend, is planning to retire from her character. In an interview with Variety, the actor revealed the shock to her many fans that she plans to quit the franchise post summer’s Avengers: Endgame. Avengers EndGame: Did the New Agents of Shield Season 6 Trailer Leak the Ending of the Marvel Movie?

“I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point,” the 46-year-old star told Variety in this week’s cover story. “I feel very lucky that I did it, because I actually got talked into it. I was friend with [‘Iron Man’ director] Jon Favreau. It was such a wonderful experience making the first ‘Iron Man’ and then to watch how important it has become to fans.”

However, despite the revelation, there is still hope for Gwyneth fans as she could still be seen making a cameo – or appear in flashbacks – down the line. The actor said, “I feel honoured to be a part of something that people are so passionate about. Of course, if they said, ‘Can you come back for a day?,’ I will always be there if they need me.” Robert Downey Jr Is Proud To Be An Avenger As Avengers: Infinity War Gets An Oscar Nod - Read Tweet.

The Avengers star is currently committed to her lifestyle brand Goop, as the company’s CEO. Gwyneth talked her heart when she said that she wouldn’t be surprised if the Academy Awards crowns a comic-box tentpole as the next best picture winner. “So if they vernacular in film is superhero movies and they’re great movies, then I guess why not, right?” Gwyneth said. “I loved ‘Black Panther.’ I thought it was a really powerful movie and culturally very important. So that’s great that it was nominated. I mean that’s so cool.”
