She famously has had difficulty remembering her many contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But Gwyneth Platrow seemed to be poking fun at Marvel fans on Friday when she acted as if she had no idea about Marvel's ongoing Hawkeye series, starring Jeremy Renner's character from the Avengers films.
The 49-year-old Oscar winner got quizzed about the series, which premiered on Disney+ on November 24, while answering a batch of questions from her fans on Instagram.
Having a laugh: Gwyneth Paltrow, 49, seemed to be joking with her fans when she pretended not to know about Marvel's Hawkeye series during a Q&A session on Instagram on Friday; seen in Iron Man 2 (2010)
Considering that she has appeared in more Marvel films than many of the higher-profile figures in the franchise, it made sense that a fan would ask her about the MCU.
'Have you watched the hawkeye series??' one anonymous fan asked among the questions.
'No, what is that?' Gwyneth replied.
Unlike some of her other answers, which she replied to with videos, the Iron Man star posted a written reply, possibly to keep up her deadpan façade.

Out of the loop: The Jeremy Renner–starring series premiered on Disney+ late in November; still from Hawkeye
Although the actress may have genuinely been unaware of the series, particularly since it has a much lower profile than the Marvel films, she took pains to prove she was up on popular culture in another answer.
After a fan asked if she had listened to Taylor Swift's rerecorded version of her album Red, she replied in large block letters: YES DO YOU THINK I LIVE UNDER A ROCK LOVE IT.'
Gwyneth was first introduced to Marvel fans in 2008's Iron Man as Pepper Potts, the personal assistant to Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).
She later had a larger role
