"Gwyneth Paltrow’s all-time favorite film? 'When Harry Met Sally.' Her favorite in which she acted? 'The Royal Tenenbaums.' Next film on the horizon? Perhaps a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she hinted playfully, 17 years after she starred in the 'Iron Man' movie that propelled the MCU into acclaim," the university posted on its website.
Paltrow also "offered thoughts on everything from acting to entrepreneurship to building a purposeful life," according to the post.

"Her biggest regret? She wished she’d learned to be more forthright at a younger age and less focused on protecting people’s feelings," the post said. "The most challenging moment of her career? When major achievements — like grabbing an Oscar at age 26 — felt 'destabilizing and weird.' Advice to her 18-year-old self? Not to be so hard on herself."
During her talk, Paltrow called Brown University her “dream school” and said it was a “pinch-me” moment to speak during Family Weekend, according to the post.
