‘Armor Wars’ Sequence Will Now Be a Film

The title will in all probability stay Armor Wars — that was the identify of the Iron Man comics storyline that the idea relies on — however what was initially conceived as a TV sequence for Disney+ is now being reworked as a film.

No administrators had been formally connected and it’s unclear when an Armor Wars function would pop on Marvel’s timeline of its phases of films and Disney+ sequence.

In addition they don’t specify whether or not this Armor Wars film could be meant for theaters, or whether or not it will nonetheless go straight to Disney+. Whereas Marvel hasn’t made Disney+ films but, they’re starting to experiment with “specials”; by the top of the yr they’re releasing the horror-themed Werewolf By Night time and the Christmas-y Guardians of the Galaxy Vacation Particular.

The unique “Armor Wars” comics adopted Tony Stark as he makes an attempt retrieve his know-how after it’s stolen and offered to a wide range of super-villains. The TV model will star Don Cheadle because the late Stark’s greatest pal, James Rhodes, presumably doing a lot the identical for his buddy’s armor after it one way or the other falls into the mistaken palms. Marvel’s Kevin Feige lately mentioned that the present (now movie) would spin out of the occasions of the upcoming Disney+ sequence Secret Invasion, which may also function an look from Cheadle.
