Gwyneth Paltrow Returns to Film After Five Years with “Ping Pong” Role Alongside Timothée Chalamet

Paltrow’s last appearance was as Pepper Potts in “Avengers: Endgame.”

Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow is returning to the big screen for the first time in five years, to star alongside Timothée Chalamet in a “ping pong movie” called Marty Supreme. Beyond table tennis, the film’s plot is largely a mystery, per Variety; it will be directed by Uncut Gems’ Josh Safdie—now working solo following a creative split from his brother Benny—with A24 producing. While she hasn’t graced theaters with her acting since reprising her role as Pepper Potts in Avengers: Endgame, the Goop founder has kept busy with parts on the small screen. She starred in two seasons of Ryan Murphy’s The Politician and had a small part on another Murphy show, American Horror Stories. Acting aside, Paltrow continues to grow her lifestyle brand and frequently shares recipes on her Instagram.
