Gwyneth Paltrow Got Candid About What It’s Like To Actually Film For Marvel, And It’s Classic Gwyneth

by

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now a highly efficient system for releasing new movies and shows, both in theaters and on Disney+. Longtime fans remember it all started with the first Iron Man film, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow recently described what it’s like to work on a Marvel project, and her comments perfectly capture the experience. Here’s a closer look.

Details about Avengers: Doomsday are scarce, but many fans are hoping to see Gwyneth Paltrow reprise her role as Pepper Potts. While it’s still uncertain if she’ll be in the new Marvel film, Paltrow recently discussed her time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the LA Times, stating:

Playing characters like Iron Man and in The Avengers was a lot of fun, but it felt similar to revisiting a role on a TV show. Because I already knew the characters so well, it wasn’t a huge challenge.

It was refreshing to hear her honesty. Although making Marvel movies involves long workdays and challenging stunts, the actress makes it look effortless. This is likely because she’s so comfortable reprising her role as Pepper Potts after playing her for so many years. Plus, her recent Marvel appearances have mostly been brief cameos, not major roles.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s recent comments about her time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe feel perfectly in line with her personality, especially considering she once forgot she was even in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Unlike many actors who intensely prepare for these roles, she seems unfazed by the complex world and dedicated work involved, casually dismissing it as “not that difficult.” It’s a surprisingly similar sentiment to Elle Woods’ iconic line from Legally Blonde: “What, like it’s hard?”

As a huge Marvel fan, I’m so excited about Disney+! You can now get it for as little as $11.99 a month with ads, which is a great way to watch everything, including all the movies with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts. If you want to skip the ads, it’s $18.99 a month, or you can save a bit of money and pay $189.99 for the whole year – that’s like getting 16% off! I’m definitely checking it out.

With fans speculating about a possible role in Doomsday, Gwyneth Paltrow recently made a notable return to acting, starring alongside Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme. She also discussed feeling nervous when she first began filming the movie.

It had been a long time since I’d acted, and I wondered how I used to do it so naturally. I was very nervous during the camera test and felt completely out of my element. Fortunately, the first scene I filmed was of my character rehearsing a play, which helped me relax. I started my career doing theater, and had performed in countless plays before ever being in a film. Being on a stage again, with the camera far away, reminded me of my mom’s advice: to just let the energy flow through me.

Despite her successful career and an Academy Award, Gwyneth Paltrow was surprisingly nervous before starting work on Marty Supreme. She hasn’t done a lot of acting lately, aside from a few roles in Marvel movies and the Netflix series The Politician. Thankfully, she managed to overcome her nerves, and a kissing scene with Timothée Chalamet quickly went viral.

You can currently watch Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts on Disney+. Her new movie, Marty Supreme, is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 25th as part of the 2025 film lineup. It remains to be seen if and when she’ll reprise her role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
