Armor Wars
Summary
War Machine ’s first solo film , Armor Wars , might have one minute that theMCUhas avoided since 2008’sIron Man . First devised as a Disney+ series , the MCU ’s upcomingArmor Warsmovieis set to abide by Don Cheadle ’s James Rhodes as he deals with the appearing of multiple armored villains . In Marvel ’s originalArmor Warsstoryline , Tony Stark faces various characters who pervert his designs while also escaping the authorities , but slowly realise that his efforts to be a hero will always come with electronegative consequences for himself and the earth .
give way thatRobert Downey Jr. ’s Iron Man died inAvengers : Endgame , War Machine will take Tony Stark ’s space asArmor Wars ' protagonist . The MCU’sArmor Warsadaptation will likely delve into the logical implication of Tony Stark ’s decease , which may have allowed Iron Man copycats to design their own armor .

Armor Wars Can Pull Off An MCU First With War Machine’s Suit
Despite having appeared in eight movie and two shows , James Rhodes has never been shown suit up as War Machine on - projection screen . This is probable to modify inArmor Wars , where Rhodey will in all probability receive more screen time than ever before . Rhodey ’s battles with multiple armored baddie will likely require him to suit up in a wide array of situations , opening the threshold for suit of clothes - up scenes as visually originative as Iron Man ’s . Since Tony Stark did n’t get to craft a nanotech suit for Rhodey before his expiry , War Machine can accommodate up like Iron Man did in his other picture .
What ’s still a enigma is how Rhodey will be capable to adjust to damage in his suits of armour now that Tony Stark is get going . Previously , Rhodey had perpetually upgrade his armors parallel to Stark ’s own development and discoveries in his Iron Man engineering . Rhodey may have plenty of spare War Machine armor left behind by Stark — which could includeTony Stark ’s missing 33 Iron Man armorscreated betweenAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgame — but now he will ask to be much more careful every time he suits up , and make each War Machine armour count .

Why The MCU Hasn’t Shown Rhodey Suit Up As War Machine So Far
War Machine has been an important hero since 2008’sIron Man , but there have n’t been enough times when Rhodey has shined on his own . Instead , virtually every swelled moment where an armoured hero involve the spotlight in the MCU has been starred by Tony Stark . Iron Man has always stolen the show , even in conflict where War Machine has participated . For instance , Rhodey could have suited up on - screen for the first time using any of Tony Stark ’s Iron Legion suits to fight Aldrich Killian inIron Man 3 , but Stark ’s ego prohibit any other person from ascertain them .
One delete Iron Man 2 scene would have been the perfect villain frame-up for Armor Wars , as well as a bang-up callback , but it ca n’t work any longer .
The more persona the MCU feature in every installment , the brusk each individual grinder ’s screentime becomes . And after several suit - up vista had already shown Iron Man ’s technological phylogenesis , showing Rhodey getting into the War Machine armor may have seemed redundant . Besides , War Machine is the kind of graphic symbol who make it fully quick on the field of honor , unlike Iron Man , whose explosive personality leads him to situations where he needs to suit up in the centre of a car race , aboard a eggbeater , or while falling off a building .
Why Armor Wars Is Already Teased To Show Rhodey Suit Up
Rhodey ’s lead role inArmor Warsmakes his first suit - up scene inevitable , but his MCU floor so far also requires it . Secret Invasionrevealed that Rhodey was portray by a Skrullat some pointedness between the events ofCaptain America : Civil Warand Nick Fury ’s clash with the rebel Skrulls . It might be crucial forArmor Warsto clarify when on the nose Rhodey was replacedand how that Skrull was capable to use the War Machine armour without raise any red flag .
Even ifArmor Warsdoesn’t expend too long on the Skrulls ' infiltration , a scenery where the real Rhodey suits up for the first metre after being supplant would be a well - deserved income tax return to legal action for the hero . In a semisweet style , it could also be a recall to Tony Stark ’s own courtship - up scenes from the MCU ’s other movies . And almost 20 twelvemonth after Terrence Howard ’s Rhodey promised to put on the War Machine armour inIron Man , Don Cheadle ’s Rhodey could finally show what that mental process see like .
