Seems wild speculation is the game of the day. Today we get news that Gwyneth Paltrow is throwing a hissy fit that her Iron Man 2 co-star Scarlett Johansson is getting too much attention and she isn’t going to stand for it! Meow!!
World of Superheroes is reporting
And now Paltrow has been left out in the promotional press as well, Daily Mail reported.
“Gwyneth was afraid she`d be upstaged by Scarlett and not being in the campaign was the final straw. She is furious she`s been left out,” a source said.
Paltrow, 36, now reportedly plans to boycott a promotion in San Diego later this month.
This just sounds like crazy talk to me. Seems someone is blurring the lines of the on screen romance of Pepper and Tony and is projecting the jealousy on Johansson and Paltrow.
The movie just finished principal photography late last week, and aside from a little bit of promo shots online there has been no real promotion on this yet. And even if she is upset that shes not getting second billing, how could she? The first movie was all about Tony’s origin story and the betrayal of Stane, so yeah, the headlining skirt in the movie was Paltrow, but in this sequel I would be surprised if she is more than just his faithful assistant and confidant flirting on the edge of romance through the whole film. Nothing that dominate.
She isn’t “boycotting” anything. Her character is just not that important in this chapter to kick off their promotional campain in this months San Diego Comic Con. The film is still 10 months away. I am sure we will see as much of Pepper as we need to in the promotional work, tv spots and posters.
I suspect this “outrage” is completely fabricated.
