Variety stories that on a current episode of “The Goop Podcast,” Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned their time within the MCU, together with working collectively on “Iron Man 2.” And no, sorry Marvel followers, the actresses didn’t have a feud on that film’s set.
“People ask me, ‘Is it true that you and Scarlett Johansson didn’t get along on “Iron Man”?” began Paltrow, to which Johansson replied, ““Is that a rumor? You were so nice to me on that movie. I was so petrified. You were so nice to me! You could’ve been awful. I was so out of my comfort zone on that movie. I’d never done anything like that before. Plus, you had established such deep friendships.”
But Paltrow advised Johansson that everybody “was so psyched you were there.” “I was so happy to have another woman around,” added Paltrow. “You kept telling me that,” Johansson. “Then I experienced that later on. When I did “Avengers” I used to be one of many few [women]… it was like a giant sausage celebration.”
Both actresses regarded again on their time within the MCU with fondness, however agreed they’re past that interval now of their respective careers. “It was fun to be in something that resonated so deeply with people culturally,” Paltrow mentioned. “I had never been in that kind of a blockbuster franchise thing either. It was new for me. But then you went on and did all of those huge films.” But Johansson has little interest in reprising her function as Black Widow by some means. “I’m done,” Johansson confirmed. “Chapter is over. I did all that I had to do. Also coming back and playing a character again and again, over a decade of time, is such a unique experience.”
Johansson performed Black Widow a number of occasions within the MCU as much as the character’s closing destiny in “Avengers: Endgame” and 2019’s “Black Widow.” Meanwhile, Paltrow performed Pepper Potts within the “Iron Man” franchise, and in addition had a cameo in “Endgame,” her closing MCU look. But Johansson thinks Paltrow’s Pepper may come again by some means. “I think you may come back at some point,” Johansson joked to Paltrow. “Really?” Paltrow responded. “A 64-year-old Pepper Potts? How great.” To which Johansson replied, “100% that’s happening. I can see it. They’re never gonna let you go. Break out that wig, baby.”
Unlike Johansson, Paltrow received’t rule a future cameo out. “I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point,” mentioned the actress. “I feel very lucky that I did it because I actually got talked into it. I was friends with Jon Favreau. It was such a wonderful experience making the first “Iron Man” after which to observe how essential it has change into to the followers.”
So perhaps Pepper Potts reveals up by some means in a future Phase 5 or Phase 6 MCU installment? Never say by no means, however “Thunderbolts” already seems totally stacked, so perhaps she’ll return “Avengers: Secret Wars” or one thing.
