10 Upcoming Movies That Just Got HUGE Upgrades
9. Armed And Ready - Armor Wars
Marvel's Armor Wars was a seven-part comic book series that was first released in 1987.
The plot revolves around Iron Man and Ant-Man teaming up to track down a batch of stolen Stark armour, and plays on themes of guilt and responsibility as Tony struggles to come to terms with the innocent victims of his creations.
In 2020, it was announced that Armor Wars was being turned into a TV series. Don Cheadle was revealed to be reprising his role as James Rhodes/War Machine because, well, Tony Stark couldn't have been in this series, could he?
Spoilers for a film that came out in 2019.
With former Girls writer Yassir Lester helming the series, Armor Wars looked like it was going to be pretty good. It was drawing on a beloved source material, had a strong team behind it, and was a chance to give Cheadle a chance to explore the Rhodes character further.
However, it's not going to be a series anymore... because it's now going to be a film!
With production set to start in 2023, Armor Wars could be a fantastic chance for Marvel to reboot the Iron Man character, because again, you know... spoilers...
