With the culmination of Marvel Films cinematic efforts coming to an epic crossroads with The Avengers, it seemed like EVERYONE they have introduced so far would be involved. But maybe not the supporting cast from the stand alone films.
For instance, Gwyneth Paltrow is convinced that she wont be in Avengers, and her reasoning makes sense. Get The Big Picture says:
Gwyneth Paltrow who plays Pepper Potts in Iron Man confirmed with Collider that she will not be in The Avengers film nor was ever asked to be. Says Paltrow, “No, no Pepper…I think it’s for sure. I think they’re starting shooting soon and they probably would have asked me by now.”
Honestly I see no reason to bring Pepper Potts into the mix for The Avengers. For Iron Man 3? Absolutely.
She is a solid part of the Iron Man atmosphere and while Tony is hard at work being Iron Man he has left the company in Pott’s capable hands.
Why would she be in Avengers? Even just a brief cameo to tie in the Iron Man films to this would appear cheap and unncessary.
I love her character and hope to see something more out of her (she was wasted in Iron Man 2 in my opinion) but with so much already happening in Avengers, do we even need another supporting secondary character?
