Captain America: Civil War – 13 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know (Jan 13th)

10. War Machine Has A SWORD?!

Thanks to the reveal of Funko's Pop Vinyl tie-ins to Civil War, there is some suggestion that War Machine gets an upgrade at some point during the film. Most intriguingly, that new suit will include a sword-like weapon that bears some resemblance to the anti-lightsaber baton wielded by TR-8R in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Rating: 7/10 Putting too much weight in Funko's design is a little silly, given that merch isn't always entirely tied to the film's final cut, but there's enough precedent to suggest that Rhodey might wield the new weapon at some point in the film. Funko's stuff is far less creatively diverse from the source than LEGO's, for instance, and though the Age Of Ultron Pops weren't perfect thanks to the inclusion of Savage Hulk, that was an editing decision. Could this be what Rhodey ends up looking like when he doesn't die and gets reinvented?
