Gwyneth Paltrow gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Pepper Potts in the Iron Man and Avengers movies. However, rumors began to circulate that she was displeased when Scarlett Johansson joined the cast as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, fearing that Scarlett would steal the spotlight. Recently, Scarlett appeared on Gwyneth’s talk show, where they discussed their relationship and cleared up any misunderstandings about their supposed rivalry.
According to an old interview with Daily Mail, Gwyneth Paltrow and Scarlett Johansson reportedly had a strained relationship while filming Iron Man 2. The tension allegedly arose because Paltrow’s character was not given enough attention compared to Johansson’s character, who made her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

However, during an appearance on Paltrow’s podcast, The Goop Podcast, Johansson denied these rumors and spoke highly of their working relationship.
