Fans may not have been thrilled with Gwyneth Paltrow's portrayal of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Pepper Potts, but the character’s future is apparently bright, at least until Phase III comes to an end. The reveal that Tony Stark and Potts were still a couple, and were about to be married, was one of Spider-Man: Homecoming’s biggest surprises.
Obviously, now that they’ve tied the knot, we can expect to see Paltrow as Potts in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War. Most recently, the actress shared a very interesting Avengers 4 on-set video via her Instagram account that spoiled a major twist in the film. So consider yourself warned!
We’re sure that the actress wasn't supposed to share that video, since it was immediately deleted. What was it about? Not much, really, other than the fact that she was waiting to shoot some scenes for the film. Paltrow did mention that she was wearing a motion-capture costume!
The video is no longer available, but check out this pic, via CBM!
In the latest Iron Man movie, villains used Extremis to tamper with Potts' DNA. Although Tony Stark said that he would find a way to cure her, we’ve heard nothing since. So is Pepper Potts evolving? Is that why Paltrow needs a motion capture suit? She did become quite powerful in Iron Man 3, and her new abilities could be useful in the wars of the future.
But here’s an alternative theory: What if she appears in her own Iron Man suit, which is known in the comic books as Rescue?
