  • Gwyneth Paltrow asked a fan to stop "yelling" at her to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

  • The star played Pepper Potts opposite Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man.

  • She said in an Instagram Q&A: "Why do you need Pepper Potts without Iron Man?"

Aside from her lifestyle company, Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow is best known for appearing in movies like David Fincher's "Seven," "The Talented Mr. Ripley," and "Shakespeare in Love" — for which she won the Oscar for best actress in 1999.

But since 2008, she has also starred in the "Iron Man" and "Avengers" movies opposite Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, as his assistant-turned-love interest, Pepper Potts.

Paltrow even had a cameo appearance in "Spider-Man: Homecoming," though she famously forgot that she appeared in the Tom Holland movie.

It's been four years since Paltrow last appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — bowing out after "Avengers: Endgame" — but fans still want her to return as Pepper.

The star hosted a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, with followers sending her a variety of questions about her life and career.

One fan asked: "I'm asking this every time, answer the question, why did you stop with marvel and do you miss RDJ?"

Paltrow responded: "Oh, my god, stop yelling at me! We just stopped doing it because Iron Man died, and why do you need Pepper Potts without Iron Man? I don't know. Call up Marvel and yell at them. Not me, I'm just sitting here."

 

The "Sliding Doors" star previously touched on the possibility of returning to the franchise while speaking to fellow Marvel star Scarlett Johansson on "The Goop Podcast" in April.

She joked: "A 64-year-old Pepper Potts? How great."

However, Paltrow pointed out that the character isn't dead, so Marvel Studios could bring her back for a cameo if they wanted.

Elsewhere in the Q&A, Paltrow answered several questions, including one about Goop's infamous vagina candle.

When asked about the thought process behind it, the star said that it was meant to be a "strong, feminist statement," and it was "not actually supposed to smell like anyone's vagina."

Paltrow added that it was a "shame" the media coverage turned it into something else.
