Armor Wars, starring Don Cheadle, is being recreated as a Feature Film

Variety has discovered that Marvel's "Armor Wars," which was initially intended to be a TV series for Disney+, is now being produced as a feature film.

Armor Wars is reproduced as Feature Film

Don Cheadle will play War Machine's alter ego James "Rhodey" Rhodes in "Armor Wars," reprising his MCU role. The project is based on the seven-issue Iron Man narrative arc in Marvel Comics of the same name, and it follows Rhodes as he must deal with what occurs when Tony Stark's technology is misused. The project will continue to be written by Yassir Lester, who was initially slated to serve as the series' lead author.

This is Marvel's second significant reorganisation this week. Just two months prior to the start of shooting, "Blade" director Bassam Tariq announced his departure from the project, potentially delaying the movie's Nov. 2023 release date. It's unknown when "Armor Wars" will hit theatres, so it won't fit into that release date.

The events of "Secret Invasion," an MCU TV series that will premiere in early 2023 on Disney+ and include Cheadle's Rhodes, will be followed by "Armor Wars," according to Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who made the announcement at the D23 Expo in Anaheim earlier this month. The actor discussed the connection between the two movies while they were on the red carpet with Variety's Marc Malkin. 

"You can see in the trailer that he must confront Nick [Fury.] As far as what they need to do, given what has already occurred on this world, he and Fury will battle it out throughout this programme."

Cheadle teased, 

“It’s kind of a thriller and a different kind of show than you usually see in the MCU, which is great that we can continue to keep changing it up and switching it up. It’s lots of fun.”

Additionally, Cheadle stated that he has fulfilled his first contractual responsibilities to Marvel Studios and that he is open to taking on new MCU projects. Now I just say, "Yeah, let's go," if something sounds nice and is offered to me. To be noted, Cheadle received a Primetime Emmy nomination for his final performance as Rhodes in 2021's "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier."

Speculatively, based on the comic books, "Armor Wars" villains like Stilt-Man, the Crimson Dynamo, and Justin Hammer, who was portrayed by Sam Rockwell in "Iron Man 2," could make an appearance. In 1987 and 1988, David Michelinie and Bob Layton co-wrote the "Armor Wars" comics, which Mark D. Bright and Barry Windsor-Smith illustrated.

The change from a series to a movie was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La
