Did Gwyneth Paltrow Drop a Big Avengers 4 Spoiler?

It looks like Gwyneth Paltrow may have just given away a pretty big spoiler forAvengers 4. Until the very end ofSpider-Man: Homecomingthis year, it had been a while sincePepper Pottshad actually appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But she’s poised to return inAvengers 4and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be business as usual for Tony Stark’s main squeeze. We’re (probably) going to see Pepper like we’ve never seen her before.

Warning: possible spoilers forAvengers 4ahead. Gwyneth Paltrow is quite active on social media and, since she’s been filmingAvengers 4lately, that means she’s been posting to her various social platforms from the set. Recently, she posted a couple of photos that seem innocuous enough, at least at first glance, but they’re actually quite revealing. If you look closely, Paltrow is wearing a motion capture suit. Why would a character who normally walks around an office be wearing such a thing? Well, probably because we’re going to see Pepper rocking anIron Man suitinAvengers 4.

InIron Man 3, which was the last time we saw Pepper Potts prior toSpider-Man: Homecoming, she wore one of Tony’s suits for a very brief moment, but that was only to get her out of harm’s way. Based on these photos, and considering thatThanosis going to be trying to kill lots of people inAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4, it looks like Pepper is going to be joining the fight in full-fledged Iron Man armor. Or, at the very least, she’s going to be wearing one to help protect her from the wrath that’s on its way in the MCU.

The idea of Pepper Pots sporting an Iron Man suit actually isn’t all that crazy. It’s been done in the comics quite a bit. Specifically, in 2009 as part of theInvincible Iron Manrun, theWorld’s Most Wantedstoryline sees her assume the identity of Rescue, which is just Pepper in her own, customized version ofTony’s Iron Man armor. Taking these photos into account, it seems likely this is what Joe Russo and Anthony Russo are drawing on for inspiration and we’ll see Gwyneth Paltrow as Rescue inAvengers 4. That’s speculative, but there’s enough evidence at this point to make it reasonable speculation.

If this holds true, it’s a pretty bigspoiler for Avengers 4. Especially considering all that’s at stake, given Pepper and Tony Stark getting engaged inSpider-Man: Homecoming. Another thing worth considering is that the pictures have since been deleted fromGwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram. If the pictures meant nothing, Disney and/or Marvel wouldn’t have made her take them down. Luckily, fans on Twitter have also shared the photos, which you can check out for yourself below.Avengers 4is set for release on June 06, 2025.
