Don Cheadle’s ARMOR WARS Update Is Unfortunate, To Say the Least

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Marvel Cinematic Universe under my belt, I can’t help but feel a tinge of frustration when it comes to the Armor Wars saga. After years of anticipation and numerous shifts in format, it seems like we’re still waiting for the hammer to fall.


In December 2020, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige unveiled the lineup for Phase Four during Disney Investors Day. Among the projects revealed were two series connected to the deceased Tony Stark. Initially, these projects, Ironheart and Armor Wars, were planned as Disney+ series. However, in September 2022, Marvel decided to change Armor Wars from a series into a feature film. This movie will center on Tony Stark’s friend, James Rhodes, also known as War Machine, with Don Cheadle set to reprise his role as Rhodey.

As of late, it appears that the Armor Wars may still be a ways off, according to recent comments by Don Cheadle. In an interview with TVLine, when asked for updates on Armor Wars, Cheadle suggested that we should keep tabs and inquire further. In his words, “I’m not entirely certain about the status at this moment… Things seem to be undergoing changes, and we’ll have to wait and see what unfolds.

If the movie “Armor Wars” ever comes out, Cheadle anticipates that Rhodey’s Skrull secret from “Secret Invasion” could be explored in that film. It’s also possible that we will encounter him in the upcoming movie “Ironheart,” which is scheduled to debut in 2025.

Here’s everything we know about Armor Wars so far.
