Avengers: Infinity War is still a good few months away from release, but Avengers 4 is already underway with several actors already confirming that they have been on set. One such actress is Gwyneth Paltrow — who plays Tony’s eternal flame Pepper Potts — and the actress recently let slip the return of another major character for the fourth Avengers film. Chatting with THR, Paltrow spilled the beans:
“I went to Atlanta to do Avengers 4, so I’m in and out for that, and it’s weird to go back and forth. We’re growing fast, and balls are dropping all the time. But honestly, I was on set and thought, “You sit here for two hours sipping tea, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle are making me laugh hysterically — why the hell did I give this up?”
Approaching Avengers: Infinity War has felt a lot like prepping for Game of Thrones. One can’t help but wonder: “Okay, who is going to bite it?”. After all, we know some heroes will not be returning from the war against Thanos. Who? Tough to say. However, looks like we can safely count Rhodey out.

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
