‘Armor Wars’ Series Will Now Be a Movie

Okay perhaps Armor Wars was a little bit too bold. How about only one armor struggle as an alternative?

The title will most likely stay Armor Wars — that was the title 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.

The Hollywood Reporter says Marvel is prepping Armor Wars as a characteristic as an alternative of the six-episode present it had beforehand been pitched and introduced as. They write…

Marvel had been eyeing a 2023 begin of manufacturing on the sequence, however the few individuals who have been gearing up for that have been notified Thursday of the change of path. No administrators had been formally hooked up and it’s unclear when an Armor Wars characteristic would pop on Marvel’s timeline of its phases of flicks and Disney+ sequence.

In addition they don’t specify whether or not this Armor Wars film can be meant for theaters, or whether or not it will nonetheless go straight to Disney+. Whereas Marvel hasn’t made Disney+ motion pictures 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 bought to a wide range of super-villains. The TV model will star Don Cheadle because the late Stark’s greatest good friend, James Rhodes, presumably doing a lot the identical for his buddy’s armor after it by some means falls into the incorrect fingers. Marvel’s Kevin Feige just lately stated that the present (now movie) would spin out of the occasions of the upcoming Disney+ sequence Secret Invasion, which may even characteristic an look from Cheadle.

The Armor Wars sequence didn’t have an official launch date, so it’s not clear when this new movie will debut both.
