“You were so nice to me on that movie,” she said. “I was so petrified.”
As one of the few women cast in the Marvel universe, Scarlett Johansson joined fellow Avenger, Gwyneth Paltrow, on her Goop podcast and dispelled any rumors of tension when they filmed the Iron Man series together.

In the podcast, Gwyneth brought up the rumors that had swirled in the past, to which Scarlett countered, “You were so nice to me on that movie,” she said. “I was so petrified.”
“You were so nice to me! You could’ve been awful,” Scarlett reaffirmed. As it was the actress’ first foray into the Marvel blockbuster universe, she shared, “I was so out of my comfort zone on that movie. I’d never done anything like that before.”
“I was so happy to have another woman around,” Gwyneth said of working together.
