Jon Favreau explains how Gwyneth Paltrow forgot about her appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming

August 27, 2019 by Liam Waddington

Jon Favreau has explained one of the most amusing topics to stem from the Marvel Cinematic Universe – how Gwyneth Paltrow completely forgot about her appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming. The news came when Paltrow joined Favreau as a special guest on his cooking series The Chef Show, and began discussing her involvement in the MCU.

Now, in a recent interview with Access, Favreau has given an explanation as to why Paltrow hilariously failed to recall her appearance in the first solo Spider-Man MCU film.

“She is the most focused person you’ll ever meet, and the most talented actor you’ll ever work with.” Favreau revealed. “And it’s very in the moment and very authentic and emotional, her portrayal. And I think that’s part of why the MCU has been so successful is she really grounded and anchored it with Robert.”

“But I know with Gwyneth, she also doesn’t dwell on or look at her performances in the past. She’ll show up at the premiere, she’ll show up on set. She doesn’t like to linger on playback or see things. Some actors, like me, I tend to like to look at the screen and watch what I did and come back, but she very much trusts the director. She does the work, she sees the film at the premiere, and then she moves on to other things.”

These comments echo those given by Favreau in an interview with Variety last month where he claimed that even he gets confused by the ever-evolving cinematic universe.

“With the Marvel things, they have so many films happening at the same time and all of them interweave with one another. Oftentimes you’re not exactly sure what’s happening, even me. I’m an executive producer on Endgame, I didn’t always know what was going on.”

Unfortunately, we’ve probably seen the last of Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts in Spider-Man, given the recent split between Disney and Sony which means the web-slinger is no longer a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
