ARMOUR WARS COMIC SERIES

This would be the most literal version of that yet. As many fans note online, a lot of the MCU's lore traces back to Tony Stark. People miss Iron Man a lot, and having Rhodey step in to maintain that legacy, with a presumed Riri Williams, would be fascinating. So, with the budget and scale ramped up a bit, it makes a lot of sense to do it that way. San Diego Comic-Con was speculated to have some sort of reveal, but instead the news about the reclassification came through. Marvel Studios made the call to bump the project up to the big leagues last year. How Is Marvel Studios Developing Armor Wars?īefore Armor Wars was a movie, it was a Disney+ series. But, who is James Rhodes when there's no Iron Man around for him to bounce off of?

Yes, Stark tech falling into the wrong hands is rough. Focusing on Rhodey here seems to be the backbone of the series. Last year, at ACE Comic-Con, Cheadle explained their direction for Armor Wars. Reading the comments after Episode 6 of Secret Invasion casts a brand-new light on how far back this plan stretches. It seems that in a bunch of the interviews that Don Cheadle had about playing Rhodey in recent years, he was hinting at this Skrull reveal. Cheadle's Previous Interviews Hinted At Skrull Reveal

However, Armor Wars is exciting because of the infinite possibilities this movie presents. Cheadle will be at the forefront of this movie playing a version of Rhodey that will feel different than the one we've come to know. But, it also provides fertile ground for a plot where someone is using Stark's armor designs and technology for evil. Because the Skrull swap happened so early, he was not present for Iron Man's death. One key part of Rhodes' reintegration into modern life is going to be his adjustment to the loss of Tony Stark. (To say nothing of the time-traveling menace that is pullings some of these strings from behind the curtain…) It's going to be a lot to adjust to. Those kinds of conflicts seem so quaint in a world that had half of all life in the universe snapped away by a purple alien or another more glow alien vowing to come back to judge all of humanity for their crimes. Remember when the heroes' biggest worries were things like the Sokovia Accords. However, it sets up some very necessary seeds for Marvel Studios' Armor Wars movie.Īrmor Wars will now focus on Rhodey as he acclimates to a world that's completely different from the one he existed in back in the earlier MCU titles. That's right, Don Cheadle's character looks to have been replaced by an alien intruder back in Captain America: Civil War! That's a bonkers reveal and inspired quite a lot of dialogue between the fans online.

The final episode of the Disney+ series revealed that Colonel James Rhodes has been a Skrull in these movies for longer than we realized. Secret Invasion laid some major groundwork for Armor Wars in the MCU.
