The Pepper Potts of Marvel films franchise finds herself in hot water with fans after adding her condolences for the comic legend's passing in a post she initially used to promote Goop shop.

AceShowbiz - Gwyneth Paltrow has been mocked online after she posted a questionable tribute to Stan Lee on Instagram.

The Marvel Comics legend, who was responsible for characters such as Spider-Man, the Hulk and Black Panther, passed away in Los Angeles on Monday, November 12 at the age of 95.

While many celebrities have since paid their respects to the icon in heartfelt personal messages, Gwyneth, who plays Pepper Potts in Marvel movies including "Iron Man" and "The Avengers", sparked backlash with her unorthodox approach.

The 46-year-old posted a snap of her and "Guardians of the Galaxy" star Chris Pratt from the "Avengers: Infinity War" premiere earlier this year, in which she wears a gown that can currently be purchased from her Goop shop.

"For my pal who asked, this @retrofete dress now for sale in the @goopshop. Thanks for the hug @prattprattpratt," she wrote in the caption, only to later add the following words in the wake of Stan's death: "UPDATE: I just heard about Stan Lee, he will be so missed. What a genius, and always so lovely. True gentleman."

Tributes were led by "Captain America" star Chris Evans, who wrote, "There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy."

"Iron Man" actor Robert Downey Jr. shared a photo of him and the comic book legend captioned, "I owe it all to you,,, Rest In Peace Stan...," while Hugh Jackman, best known for his long-running role as Wolverine, described Stan as a "creative genius."
