Rumor: Pepper Potts to return to the MCU in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

on Rumor: Pepper Potts to return to the MCU in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming'

It’s been a fantastic week for Spidey fans everywhere. We’ve gotten three great posters and an awesome trailer for the upcoming film Spider-Man: Homecoming. Updates and news just continue to trickle out.

In this case, it appears that another Iron Man supporting character, and a huge fam favorite, may be making her return to the MCU in the film. A report has surfaced claiming that Pepper Potts will return to the MCU in Spider-Man: Homecoming. If this report is in indeed true, we have Sony to thank for bringing Gwyneth Paltrow back, as they were willing to spend big money on getting talent for the film. This included Paltrow, who’s contract had expired, and seemingly was never renewed by Marvel and Disney.

The last time we saw Pepper Potts was all the way back in 2013 in Iron Man 3. Since then, as we learned in Captain America: Civil War, her and Tony have been “taking a break”.

If this report does indeed turn out to be true, would you be excited to see Paltrow return as Pepper Potts in Spider-Man: Homecoming? Or do you think that we already have enough of Iron Man and his supporting cast in the film? Sound off in the comments below!

    I have mixed feelings about this. As much as I like having Spider-Man as part of the larger MCU, I really want this to be a SPIDER-MAN movie, not Iron Man 3.75. Tom Holland was the PERFECT choice for Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and he can absolutely carry the movie on his own without RDJ pulling his strings. That said, the two of them have a great on-screen dynamic and it will only make the movie better. Now adding Pepper to the mix seemingly makes it more of an Iron Man story. Now Spider-Man and Iron Man have had some GREAT team-ups in the comics (not even counting Civil War, because that was actually terrible) but it’s time for a pure Spider-Man story. So here’s hoping they don’t overdo it with Iron Man. *fingers crossed*

      Iron Man 3.75? To be fair, there have been 7 MCU films since Pepper got her Extremis powers and they’ve never gone back to it. They need to finish the Iron Man 3 story eventually. Plus, Tony still hasn’t sorted out his panic attacks and PTSD.

        The PTSD thing is the underlying theme of all the movies. It started in Iron Man with his need to create the armor, then in IM2 with the paladium poisoning and keeping the armor from the military, then Avengers (obviously), and IM3. Then Ultron became his “cure” for his PTSD and morphed into a murderbot, so Tony became pro-Accords in Civil War.

        Scarlet Witch called it in AoU: “No, he won’t. He’ll do everything he can to make things right.” That’s how his PTSD is manifesting itself throughout his MCU appearances. So I don’t think that’s going to be resolved before Infinity War, which is awesome, IMHO.

        And yes, we need AIM in future movies, and Pepper’s Extremis plotpoint needs wrapped.

          well said. I think we can agree the MCU needs to “drain the swamp” i.e. wrap up all the unresolved baggage from the Iron Man trilogy. Hopefully it won’t affect the plot of Spider-man Homecoming or their other films too much.

    It’ll be great to see Pepper just to tie up loose ends finally. Why didn’t marvel just pay up? Man, they’re cheap.

    Well, the best thing at least. Skye/Daisy/Quake is also pretty good, though I’m disappointed they didn’t give her a fourth name in Season 4.

    Pepper adds a lot to the story so it’s good to see her making an appearance.

    Yey???
    But seriously she sucks in big portions, a tiny scene here and there is fine but when they literally turn her into a superhero that somehow saves everyone at the end the movie takes a giant catastrophic nosedive

    I would be happy to see Pepper Pots back — (I wish someone would think of a few jokes regarding pepper potts (the peper dispensers and pepper potts which could be put into the movie) This could be mor of a marvel team up superhero duo than a standalone spidey movie but I think this is a good idea provided the script is a good one. The trailers however look good to me (not to much Iron man but enough) and seem to focus mostly on spidey and his puns while fighting the bad guys. I think overall this will be an escapist fun movie that the whole family can enjoy so I am looking forward to it.
