abstract:Virginia "Pepper" Potts is a fictional supporting character and romantic love interest appearing in books published by Marvel Comics, in particular those featuring Iron Man. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Don Heck, she first appeared in Tales of Suspense #45 (September 1963).
Because of a previous trailer, I had thought that Tony would have been helped in his struggle against the Mandarin by his girlfriend, PepperPotts (Gwyneth Paltrow), but no.
Directed by Shane Black, who previously worked with Downey Jr on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the film co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, as PepperPotts, and Sir Ben Kingsley as the Mandarin.
In Iron Man 3, Tony is obsessed with being Iron Man and building Iron Man armor, because confronting death and a world-threatening menace has made him perpetually fearful of the danger to PepperPotts.
