The Marvel Cinematic Universe is back up and running, already having released one project this year with much more to come. Early entries seem largely focused on stories surrounding existing characters like those in

WandaVision

,

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

, and

Black Widow

, while others later in the year will bring new faces to the MCU for the first time.

While the franchise continues on as one large interconnected story, Phase 4 will serve partially as a new chapter to help close out the Infinity Saga after it ended in 2019. With some actors’ time working with Marvel Studios

seemingly

ending with

Avengers: Endgame

, there’s still a chance for almost anybody to continue with their roles going forward.

This appears to be the case with one of the MCU’s original stars, although it does come with a condition.

GWENYTH PALTROW OPEN TO MCU RETURN

In a recent interview with

the

PEOPLE

TV show

, Pepper Potts actress Gwenyth Paltrow revealed that she would be open to returning to the MCU to reprise her role in a future project. Paltrow did say that she would be more open to it if it were “a small part” which didn’t require many days of filming.:

“I think if it was a small part that I could do in like a day or two, I would of course be open to that.”

FUTURE MCU APPEARANCES ONLY PEPPERED IN

Gwenyth Paltrow has played the role of Pepper Potts

since the first

Iron Man

released in 2008.

Adding to the MCU’s story as Tony Stark’s assistant before she became the mother of his daughter, starring in all three

Iron Man

movies and making small appearances in

Spider-Man: Homecoming

and three of the four

Avengers

films.

It seems to make sense that Paltrow only wants to come back in a limited role going forward,

especially after

Avengers: Endgame

brought the death of Pepper’s husband, Tony Stark

. However, should Paltrow want to come back, there are certainly a couple of avenues to make this return happen.

There are two unique Disney+ shows releasing sometime in 2022 that branch off from the Iron Man legacy with

Don Cheadle’s

Armor Wars

and

Dominique Thorne’s

Ironheart

. With Pepper Potts still holding a high position at Stark Industries, she could certainly play a part in helping both Colonel James Rhodes or Riri Williams should they need it.

As of now, there are no set plans for Gwenyth Paltrow to return as Pepper Potts in the MCU.
