Most of the cast of Iron Man 2 was in attendance at Comic-Con over the past few days. Robert Downey Jr and Scarlett Johansson both showed up, but Gwyneth Paltrow and Mickey Rourke were noticeably absent. Mickey’s been living it up in London, where he’s filming a movie and picking fights with random fences, but what was so important that Dame Paltrow couldn‘t show up? Was shede-boning another chicken, and couldn’t make a flight? Or is she still pouting about all of the publicity surrounding Scarlett Johansson?

As if on cue, Scarlett was asked about the rumors of tension between her and Gwyneth, and according to Radar, ScarJo “indicated there was no truth to a rumored feud between she and glamorous Gwyneth Paltrow.” She indicated? I’ve looked around for a quote, and I can’t find one. My guess is that ScarJo was asked and she shrugged her shoulders or laughed or something like that. Of course, my guess is also that Goopy really is pissed off, and that’s the reason she didn’t attend Comic-Con:

Scarlett Johannson is mighty secure within herself, especially for such a prominent actress.

The star laughingly cleared up rumors about on-set feuds and competitiveness at home during an Iron Man 2 panel at this weekend’s Comic-Con.

In regards to husband Ryan Reynolds, who will play The Green Lantern for DC Comics’ big screen adaptation, ScarJo was asked if it was uncomfortable in the home as she’s now super hero muscle for Marvel Comics.

“We’re living in two completely different universes,” she says, noting the conflicting publishers instantly diffuse tension, “never the two shall meet, I would say.”

Outlets, bloggers and fans of the Robert Downey Jr.-starring hit also Tweeted that, during a panel discussion with its stars, Johannson indicated there was no truth to a rumored feud between she and glamorous Gwyneth Paltrow.

As if on cue, the studio released some more stills from the film. ScarJo actually did a ton of press at ComicCon, and there are a bunch of new interviews with her. I didn’t find anything particularly interesting, but let’s see. ScarJo told AHN that Black Widow is “kicking some major a*s – so I would say ‘major’ is the amount of a*s I kick. Whose a*s do I kick? Well, you’re just going to have to wait and see. You don’t really want to know, do you?” ScarJo then toned down the language for People, talking about all the “butt” she was kicking, and get into specifics of her training. The director calls her Black Widow catsuit “unforgiving” and ScarJo says, “Certainly walking on set, because a lot of the people that worked on the film were fans of the comic and of course they knew the Black Widow – they were all super excited to see the Black Widow… When everybody in the crew were like, ‘That looks awesome!’ I knew. Like, ‘Okay.’ ” Meanwhile, Goopy pouted in a corner, upset that none of the crew guys looked at her twice. Let’s light a candle for Goop.
