Gwyneth Paltrow's time with the Marvel Cinematic Universe could be coming to an end. Like her costar Robert Downey Jr., Paltrow is only signed with Marvel until "Iron Man 3," which comes out on May 3.
"When they signed us, they signed us for three. So that's it for the moment, but you never know," she told Empire. As for her fourth appearance in "The Avengers," she added, "'The Avengers' happened late. It was Robert who said that Pepper has to be in this movie or it's just giant snakes coming out of the sky. We need one grounded beat. And to be totally honest, I haven't seen the movie. It's crazy. My son has seen it, but I haven't. I went out to New Mexico for a day and shot... actually, maybe it was one and a half. Anyway, it was very short."
How To Fit Daredevil Into The Marvel Cinematic Universe

What was long suspected was revealed to be true yesterday: Daredevil's film rights belong with Marvel again. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed it after months of fans assuming that was the case; the rights were said to have reverted back to Marvel after Fox failed to get a "Daredevil" reboot up and running before the expiration date. Not that Fox didn't try, with pitches by both David Slade and Joe Carnahan amounting to nothing.
The first "Daredevil" film is not remembered fondly, which is a shame considering how important the character is to Marvel Comics. His comic series, which has been running since the character's debut in 1964, contains more seminal runs than most others. Frank Miller did two highly influential runs on the book (the latter with art by the legendary David Mazzucchelli), followed by Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr.'s lengthy run. Kevin Smith and Joe Quesada made the character relevant again in the late '90s, and then Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev created the most iconic iteration of the character since his Miller heyday. "Daredevil" is currently enjoying critical acclaim under the guidance of writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee.
With so many great and highly respected comics in his briefcase (Daredevil is a lawyer, so... briefcase), it'd be foolish for Marvel to not turn him into their next Iron Man. Here are a few ways they could make that happen.
