Although it might be easy enough to overlook, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Pepper Potts – Tony Stark’s perennial love interest – on the big screen. She was introduced as his indispensable right-hand woman in 2008’s Iron Man, became his girlfriend in Iron Man 2 and has struggled to keep up with him in The Avengers and Iron Man 3. But since then?
