Will Gwyneth Paltrow Appear as Pepper Potts in 'Captain America: Civil War'?

Captain America: Civil War will pit Chris Evans' titular hero against Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man in a portrayal of the "Civil War" storyline from Marvel Comics. Throughout the Iron Man and Avengers movies, Gwyneth Paltrow has appeared as Pepper Potts right by Tony Stark's side. So does this mean she will appear in Captain America 3?

Dish Nation asked that question to the actress herself in a recent interview. "I don't know. I've heard rumors that maybe, and I don't know," Paltrow said. "My fingers are crossed. I would love to be Pepper Potts again at some point in my life."

Paltrow will not play the character in next year's The Avengers: Age of Ultron, though it's not clear why.

In related news, Frank Grillo appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier as Crossbones, one of Captain America's more famous villains. In a recent interview, the actor all but confirmed that his character would return in the third movie.

Grillo spoke to EW and made it pretty clear he would return for Civil War, due out on May 6, 2016. "[Winter Soldier] was only a taste of what's to come with the next film, and I couldn't be more humbled and excited," Grillo said. "They just kind of called and said, 'What kind of shape are you in? We're going to need a body scan.' They scan your body so that whatever you wear fits you like a glove....We all know what Crossbones represents in his world, so when they called me and said we gotta do the body scan, I was like 'Okay!'"

Crossbones famously wears a black and white skull mask, so be on the lookout for that in Civil War. Grillo went on to talk about the physicality of preparing for the role of Crossbones. "He's a badass" Grillo said. "He is just vicious. I like the idea that it's no holds barred. I was 15 pounds bigger when I did Cap 2, and I'll put another 15 pounds on to do Cap 3. I love the physicality. It changes the way you look; it changes the way you feel."
