Gwyneth Paltrow might have just inadvertently dropped the bomb about her Iron Man 2 co-star Don Cheadle being a part of Avengers 4. Paltrow was recently interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter and during the interview, she spoke about her acting come back as well as the experience so far on the set of Avengers 4. She named the Iron Man lead actor Robert Downey Jr. and Cheadle.
“I went to Atlanta to do Avengers 4, so I’m in and out for that, and it’s weird to go back and forth. We’re growing fast, and balls are dropping all the time,” she said. “But honestly, I was on set and thought, ‘You sit here for two hours sipping tea, Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle are making me laugh hysterically — why the hell did I give this up?‘”
In August, Paltrow’s name was confirmed as a part of Avengers 4, however, it is only now that we heard about Cheadle once again playing James “Rhodey” Rhodes AKA War Machine in the film. He is going to join an impressive array of MCU stars who are teaming up and the list includes Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Paul Bettany as Vision, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier etc.
