Avengers: Endgame will be Pepper Potts' swan song.
Pepper Potts actress Gwyneth Paltrow intends to retire the character following her role in Avengers: Endgame, though she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of making cameo appearances down the line.
In an interview with Variety, the 46-year-old star said “I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point. I feel very lucky that I did it, because I actually got talked into it. I was friends with [Iron Man director] Jon Favreau. It was such a wonderful experience making the first Iron Man and then to watch how important it has become to the fans.”

We already know Potts will play some sort of role in Endgame, as Tony Stark is seen recording a message for her as he is adrift in space in the film’s first trailer. She’s also tangentially tied to the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home, as her signature can be found on the oversized check seen at the beginning of its first trailer - this is likely just a small reference, and doesn’t suggest she’ll actually appear in the film.
Paltrow has portrayed Pepper Potts in seven MCU films: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Iron Man 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. Her last few appearances, however, have largely been cameo roles.
All good things must come to an end, and Paltrow has done a great job in the role of Potts.
I'm getting more and more pumped for Endgame though!
