Gwyneth Paltrow Pepper Potts MCU Confusion: Why She Hasn't Seen the Movies
Gwyneth Paltrow admits she hasn't seen recent MCU movies and is confused about Pepper Potts' storyline. Read about her candid interview and her new film Marty Supreme.
Iron Man's partner is as lost as the rest of us when it comes to the Marvel multiverse. Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress who brought Pepper Potts to life, recently admitted she has no idea what's happening in the MCU because she hasn't watched the movies.
Gwyneth Paltrow Pepper Potts MCU Status: "I Can't Keep Track"
During a conversation on The Awardist podcast on December 31, 2025, Paltrow confessed that she hasn't seen any Marvel films for "story context." Having first appeared in 2008's Iron Man and last seen in 2019's Avengers: Endgame, she isn't even sure if Tony Stark—played by her longtime co-star Robert Downey Jr.—is still alive in the current timeline. "I don't know. I can't keep track," she remarked with her signature candidness.
Life After the Avengers and Marty Supreme
While the MCU gears up for Downey's return as Victor Von Doom in 2026, Paltrow is focusing on her first non-MCU film role since 2015. She's currently starring in Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme alongside Timothée Chalamet. When asked what Pepper Potts might be doing now, Paltrow jokingly suggested she's likely "raising a kid and doing spreadsheets," a far cry from the multiversal chaos of the recent Marvel phases.
