Paltrow laughs off Johansson poster rivalry

Gwyneth Paltrow has again laughed off rumours of a rivalry with Iron Man 2 co-star Scarlett Johansson amid reports that she was furious about being overlooked in recent promotional posters.

The actress, who plays Pepper Potts in the superhero franchise, was alleged to be angry that Johansson had been selected over her to star in the new advertising campaign.

However, a representative for Paltrow told the Daily Mail that she is more than happy with the posters and "was not at all upset" about Johansson featuring in the commercials with Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke.

Paltrow and Johansson, who took over from Emily Blunt as the Black Widow, have been at the centre of rivalry rumours since filming on the action sequel began earlier this year.

Iron Man 2 is scheduled for release on May 7, 2010.
