If Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Pepper Potts in another Marvel superhero flick, she may be asking for more control of her wardrobe.

In the Avengers movie, much attention was given to her skimpy Daisy Dukes.

"That was mean, wasn't it?" Paltrow said with a laugh while promoting her new dramedy Thanks For Sharing. "Why am I in cut-off shorts and everyone else is in a suit. It's not fair!" (Not to mention the sports bra she was wearing while running around in Iron Man 3!)

She insists she doesn't know if more Tony Stark is in her future. "They don't tell me anything at Marvel," Paltrow said. "I'm the last to know…I can't imagine they're not going to make another Iron Man movie. I don't know if I'm going to be in it or not."

One thing she doesn't want to add to her resume? Directing.

Like Julia Roberts, Paltrow says she has no plans to direct. "If I take on one more job, I'm going to kill myself!" she said.

What about having more kids?

"No!" Paltrow cracked. "I have too much on my plate as it is!"

Not that she doesn't take time to enjoy herself.

"Cooking is an addiction," said Paltrow, the author of two cookbooks. "Pinterest is kind of an addiction. My weird addiction is I love looking at real estate online. That's my porn."
