Avengers: Endgame will serve as the end of an era for the Marvel franchise, and naturally, this means the departure of a few MCU regulars. But while the fans have spent the last year speculating on the possibility of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and their superhero peers dropping out of the saga, it seems that Gwyneth Paltrow has taken it upon herself to dispel all doubt that her run as Pepper Potts ends here, telling Variety that the Avengers: Infinity War sequel will serves as her last major outing in the series.
When the announcement came yesterday that The Punisher had been canceled along with Jessica Jones, many were upset but few were surprised.
