Don Cheadle To Reprise War Machine Role In ‘Armor Wars’ Series For Disney+

Marvel hocho Kevin Feige has revealed that Armor Wars is officially being developed as a Disney+ series with Don Cheadle set to reprise his role as James Rhodes, aka War Machine!

Originally written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton and running for seven issues from December 1987 to June 1988, the comic story centered on inventive genius Tony Stark as he discovers that the same top-secret tech he used to create the Iron Man armor is now in the hands of several deadly super villains and is wracked with guilt over the evil they’ve done utilizing the suit. In the face of objections from his government, friends, colleagues and fellow superheroes, Stark swears to use the power of Iron Man to bring the evil to an end and take back what’s his.

The gauntlet of armored villains, including Firepower, Stingray, the Crimson Dynamo, and the Titanium Man, were powered by stolen Stark technology sold by industrialist Justin Hammer, Stark's chief rival.
