Marvel Studios held a press junket in Los Angeles yesterday to promote the upcoming release of director Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2. The film’s all-star cast was on hand to suck each other’s dicks and pretend to like those in the media.

Not surprisingly, actress Gwyneth Paltrow sucked her own dick while discussing her role in the film as supporting character Pepper Potts. She also downplayed the star-power of Scarlett Johansson’s boobs.

She said:

It’s not only a film for fifteen year old boys. It’s a film that can relate to a lot of people on a lot of levels and a lot of my girlfriends like it because of the romance.

Scarlett in the trailer, it’s appealing, like, ‘Who is she?’ It doesn’t look gratuitous. It looks like there are interesting women in the movie and certainly from the first one, too, my character is quick and she’s articulate and I think that makes it so that when you take your kid, if you’re a mom, it’s really fun for you to watch as well.

So it’s nice to see women who are aspirational, smart and sexy all at the same time.

Hmm. Iron Man is one of those rare superhero movies that is well written and not entirely cheesy, but no one is dropping coin to see if Tony Stark will kiss Pepper Potts. And, casting Johansson is always wonderfully gratuitous.

Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7.
