Yesterday the Twitterverse broke that Pepper Potts, played by actress Gwyneth Paltrow, was on the set of Avengers 4.
Now even more photos are out and they are very telling!

In this latest batch of photos, you see Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) embrace Pepper in a moving moment. It appears the moment was so moving that even Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) had to join in. Banner even appears to be shedding a few tears.
The most telling photo though is the first one in my opinion, the top left of the tweet. As you can see, Pepper is sporting a huge engagement ring.
Also to notice: A large shiny engagement ring on Pepper's finger

Last we heard of the couple in the movie, they were “taking a break” from each other. This was due to Tony’s inability to manage his time between Pepper and the Avengers as well as her duties as CEO of Stark Industries. However, in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Tony did jokingly propose to Pepper.
With that ring, it seems that Tony has finally made some important life choices concerning the pair. This also signals that Pepper might play a larger role than thought in terms of Tony Stark’s motivations. He might be even more determined to take down Thanos than ever before with a bride-to-be waiting back home. Marvel could be completely tricking us here and this might not even be the real Pepper anymore. It could be a Skrull in disguise! We know the Skrulls will be the main enemy in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie so it would make sense to see Marvel begin laying the groundwork post Avengers 4.
What do you think, are you happy to see Pepper play an important role in the upcoming Avengers movie? Do you want to see Tony and Pepper get married? Do you think Pepper is a Skrull?
