For many Marvel fans, Avengers: Endgame marked the end of an era that the company has not yet managed to overcome with its next phases, and this closure served to say goodbye to almost all of the brand’s main heroes, with Iron Man‘s sacrifice leaving the bar very high for the franchise.
The title is one of the most important in superhero cinema, but that does not mean that its entire cast is particularly interested in it. Gwyneth Paltrow , for example, just revealed that she has never seen the movie properly because it confuses her too much.
Gwyneth Paltrow helped establish the MCU
Although adaptations of Marvel superheroes had been trying to dominate the Hollywood billboard in one way or another for years, it was the creation of Marvel Studios that really allowed us to think for the first time about unifying these characters as happens in the comics.
The risk was very high and the possibilities of failure were there for several years, since it would be difficult to convince viewers to see all the possible installments to embrace this cinematographic universe.
The production and release of Iron Man – El Hombre de Hierro was key as a first step and the charisma of Robert Downey Jr. served the character very well and the film showed that this type of adaptation could offer something new.
In this way, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts also became an indispensable element for the first phase of the company and, despite not being a traditional heroine, she helped open the doors of this world that was growing really fast.
This film also caught the attention of critics and the public for its cast full of Oscar winners and nominees, but Paltrow never thought it would be a long-term endeavor. In fact, the actress lost interest quite quickly, returning to the hero’s sequels and other MCU installments solely because of her contract or to support Downey Jr., who has been her friend for many years and tried to keep her close to the franchise for as long as possible.
Tony Stark’s farewell also marked the farewell of Pepper Potts, although many expected to see her in other installments such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, and her character is still relevant to this universe even though the actress is no longer here. interested in returning.
In addition to this, Paltrow is also not up to date with the films or the evolution of the MCU, and on several occasions she has acknowledged that she does not understand the films well and does not want to dedicate much time to them, which has led her to confuse stories and lose the thread about the new characters that have joined the franchise.
Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t seen Avengers: Endgame
During an appearance at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia (via Deadline ), the actress revealed that she has never seen Avengers: Endgame , although she does intend to:
“I’ve never seen Endgame. I can’t keep track of who is what. But I probably should at some point.”
The actress, who is semi-retired, has no intention of returning to Marvel and in the same interview she assured that, despite it being a superhero film, she agreed to participate in Iron Man because the experience was new and they promised her that it would not be a superhero film. conventional and superficial action.
Paltrow remembers how they filmed this adaptation almost like an independent film, improvising a lot and changing several things at the time, because the production company did not know if it would become a success or not, something that was eventually lost with the rest of the installments that were already released.
They worked and released within a different context because the brand became incredibly big and popular.
