UNITED STATES: Marvel Studios’ latest series line-up consists of numerous projects, which also include the highly-awaited Don Cheadle starrer Armor Wars. Since the announcement and the new title poster reveal at D23 Expo 2022, no additional news has been unveiled to the audience, but now the Marvel project has received a brand new update.
The upcoming title, Armor Wars, is now going to debut with a theatrical release as a film instead of the series. Yes, you’ve read that correctly! Marvel Studio is gearing up for a big screen debut for the much-anticipated project.
Don Cheadle-starrer Armor Wars series is modified into a film
Armor Wars will follow the journey of Don Cheadle as Colonel James Rhodes, which will be loosely adapted from David Michelinie and Bob Layton’s seven-issue storyline of Iron Man comics published from 1987 to 1988. The title will cover the events after Tony Stark’s death, which will be based on the concept of Stark technology falling into the wrong hands.
Marvel Entertainment made the announcement on Twitter. The tweet read, ‘’Marvel Studios’ Armor Wars, starring Don Cheadle, will debut as a feature film.’’
According to the tweet, the Don Cheadle starrer show will now be released as a full-fledged movie. The title was earlier announced as a series set to debut on Disney+, but now it will directly arrive on big screens. Yassir Lester, who was earlier confirmed as a major writer for the show, will now pen the story of the upcoming film.
In 2020, Marvel announced Armor Wars, featuring Don Cheadle as War Machine, which hyped the fans that their favourite superhero is getting a series. Given the movie announcement, it appears that the excitement level of the audience has been catapulted to the next level.
Don Cheadle as James Rhodes is next set to appear in the Samuel L. Jackson-starrer Secret Invasion. The six-episode miniseries will star Emilia Clarke, Cobie Smulders, Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Martin Freeman in lead roles. The show will be available to stream on Disney+ from 2023.
