Gwyneth Paltrow Just Figured Out She Was in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (Video)

There’s a scene at the end of “Spider-Man: Homecoming” when Tony Stark is about to unveil Spider-Man as the next member of the Avengers. But when Peter Parker gets cold feet and decides to remain a friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man, Gwyneth Paltrow’s character Pepper Potts steps in, and Tony and Pepper instead decide to announce their engagement to the awaiting media.

As it happens, Paltrow has no recollection of this scene, or that she even appeared in “Spider-Man: Homecoming” at all.

In a clip from Jon Favreau’s new Netflix program “The Chef Show” that’s gone viral, Paltrow reveals the cameo is completely news to her.

“We weren’t in ‘Spider-Man,'” Paltrow says perplexed. Even after Favreau — who also appeared in the scene as Tony Stark’s bodyguard “Happy” Hogan — tries to remind her that she was specifically in “Homecoming,” Paltrow doubles down. “No. I was in ‘Avengers.'”

You really just have to watch it play out for yourself. Favreau describes the scene that featured Paltrow in detail before it finally dawns on her:

“That was Spider-Man? Oh my God,” she said.

Paltrow can be forgiven somewhat. Marvel Studios films so many of these movies in quick succession; both “Infinity War” and “Endgame” were filmed concurrently to the point that even Chris Hemsworth genuinely didn’t know what Thor’s fate was at the end of the movie.

Thankfully Paltrow has never been one to give away major spoilers, and now we have an idea as to why.

Favreau’s “The Chef Show” is available on Netflix now.

10 Huge 'Avengers: Endgame' Actors Who Had No Dialogue at All (Photos)

HUGE Spoiler warning: Please don't read this if you don't want to know details about "Avengers: Endgame."

We get it. There are a LOT of characters in “Avengers: Endgame.” It’s pretty near impossible to get virtually everyone in the MCU some screentime, let alone actual dialogue. But that means a lot of fan favorites -- even Oscar winners! -- had nothing to say during Marvel’s epic finale. We know #ThanosDemandsYourSilence, but this is ridiculous.
Marvel
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson)

At the end of “Infinity War,” Nick Fury was dusted. Naturally, we assumed his call to Captain Marvel would save not only him but the entire universe. But we didn’t learn Fury’s fate until the very end of "Endgame," when he showed up at Tony Stark’s funeral. And stood there completely silent.
Marvel
Marie Hill (Cobie Smulders)

We haven’t seen Marie Hill in earnest since “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and she had the bad luck of also getting dusted during the “Infinity War” post-credits sequence. And now she gets nothing more than an invite to Tony Stark’s funeral?
Marvel
Janet Van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer)

She just spent decades of her life trapped in the Quantum Realm at the end of “Ant-Man and the Wasp,” THEN got dusted. And now she’s got nothing to say about this whole ordeal?
Marvel
M'Baku (Winston Duke) and Shuri (Letitia Wright)

Does shouting “YIBAMBE” count? Other than that, neither character has any dialogue. But hey, at least they showed up and Shuri finally took part in some on-the-ground fighting. Lupita Nyongo’s Nakia, however, was nowhere to be found.
Marvel
Loki (Tom Hiddleston)

Normally you can’t shut this guy up. Loki’s dialogue in this movie is actually just a line from the original “Avengers.” So while we’re thrilled to see him back in a new scene after he DIED in “Infinity War,” we wish the God of Mischief hadn't been literally muzzled.
Marvel
Ramonda (Angela Bassett)

Blasphemy. Angela Bassett’s Queen Ramonda didn’t get any dialogue as she only appeared near the end of “Endgame” after the big battle was won and Thanos’ army was defeated. While we’re happy we caught a glimpse of the queen herself, we needed more.
Marvel
Jane Foster (Natalie Portman)

When Thor heads back in time to Asgard, at a time when his mother (Rene Russo) is still alive, we catch a glimpse of Natalie Portman’s Jane waking up from a snooze -- a scene from “Thor: The Dark World.” But she didn’t say a word. Portman has an Oscar, and she didn't get it for being quiet.
Marvel
Aunt May (Marisa Tomei)

Aunt May isn’t exactly an Avenger, but Marisa Tomei is an Oscar winner. Here’s hoping she gets a bigger role in “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”
Marvel
Ned (Jacob Batalon)

At the end of the movie, Peter Parker’s friend Ned shows up at school after everyone originally dusted returns, and they embrace each other without a word.
