10 MCU Characters Fans Love To Hate

The long suffering lover of the late Tony Stark has had something of a torrid time since arriving in the first feature of the bunch back in 2008's Iron Man.

Back then, however, fans weren't so quick to throw stones at the eventual CEO of Stark Industries, with Stark acting as a bit of a prat at the best of times and Potts simply being on hand to clean up his frequent messes. Yet, as time would roll by, Potts' presence on screen would start to become a bit of an unwanted distraction as the character frequently pulled Iron Man back towards a simple family life instead of allowing him to do everything in his power to help, you know, the whole damn world.

Things only seemed to intensify after a brief spell on the sidelines as Potts would awkwardly pop back up in the later stages of Phase 3, only for fans to once again push back against Gwyneth Paltrow's seemingly blasé attitude towards being a part of this titanic world.

With Potts still very much a player in this landscape in the wake of Tony's death, it'll be interesting to see how/if Marvel Studios choose to utilise a character (and actor, for that matter) many seem to take pleasure in tearing down.
