Marvel's new director Jon Favreau is using his MySpace blog to ask for your help yet again. Favreau has done a reasonably good job thus far of at least pretending to be interested in the fans' thoughts, and I applaud his efforts to stay connected to the fan base he (and Marvel) desperately need to turn out for Marvel's first self financed flick, Iron Man. Today's question of the hour: who should be Pepper Potts?
For you non-True Believers, Pepper was Tony Stark's (he's the guy inside the Iron Man costume) secretary, first showing up back in the 60s, who spent the early years with a mad crush on Mr. Stark. She's a redhead, for what it's worth, but I rather imagine that'll have very little to do with casting decisions, what with wigs, dyes and such being readily available. Swing on over to Fav's blog and have a look at the names suggested so far (they cover most of the current starletts), and then come back here and impress us with your far wiser suggestions.

I know Parker Posey just did Supes, but she has developed quite the screen presence and can do that perky girl friday thing. I'm sure other candidates will spring to mind, but she's the first who popped into my head.

Milla Jovovich looked pretty good as a redhead in The 5th Element.

By looking at the suggestions already I have to go with the majority and that is JEWEL STAITE.
I think my girl needs to be out there and show what the Serenity / Firefly people already know that she is a lovable and headstrong actress that needs to be know in the mainstream.
People can have their BIG NAME actresses if they want I'm going for the underdog and vote for JEWEL.
paid for by the I love Jewel Staite foundation.

i think Ali Larter would be an amazing choice for the character. She now has a new role on the show "Heroes" and has been in some big budget movies (i.e. "Varsity Blues"-sexy cheerleader; and the first two "Final Destination movies".) She could be great as a red head.

You should pick some one that is not in any comic book movies. Why?, if DC and Marvel decides to do a "Marvel v. DC" movie the director does not need to type cast anyone. That's just my opinion. Good pick on Downey Jr. and T. Howard in respectful roles :-)
Marvel all the way!!!!!!!!!
PS- Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" song should be on the soundtrack. ;-)

I Think Reese Whitherspoon would be perfect for the role!

sorry guys, but the best choice for Pepper Potts is Rose McGowan. She's sexy, charismatic and the most important, a real redhead.
