Bosco685 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Quote Fresh off of the announcement of Thor 4 yesterday, MediaByte has learned that another long-standing Marvel Cinematic Universe character will be continuing their journey after the events of Avengers: Endgame. Sources tell us that Don Cheadle’s War Machine will be receiving his own television series on Disney+. Currently, the series is in early development while Marvel Studios continues its work on the first five series coming to the streaming service. Similarly to the other announced Marvel Disney+ series, there are very few details about the time period or cast. Don Cheadle is expected to return as the titular character. Disney+ was announced in November 2018 and since then a slew of new projects have been revealed for the service. In Marvel’s case, five new series, four of which directly tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These four live-action series revolve around popular MCU characters Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye, and Scarlet Witch and Vision. The fifth series will be animated and titled What If? and will focus on twisted versions of events from the Marvel Cinematic Universe but will not be considered canon in conjunction with the films. One story the series is planning to adapt is What If? Vol.1 #47, which explored the idea of “What if Loki had found the hammer of Thor?” Marvel President Kevin Feige spoke to Variety in April about the streaming service and its series. Feige had this to say about the series on Disney+, “These episodes will intersect with the movies in a very big way,” explains Feige. “It’s a totally new form of storytelling that we get to play with and explore.” “It’s the first long-form narrative that Marvel Studios has done — they’ll be six episodes, eight episodes, ten episodes, with the actors from the films playing their characters,” he said. “They’ll be changing, evolving, growing in those event series and then those changes will be reflected in their next film appearances.” ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Are they just throwing all of the legacy characters into TV shows, now..? Serious overkill. sagekilz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly they are six-episode shows. So I wonder how much story can be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, basically, a couple movies worth? (Guessing 45 min. episodes.) That's not overkill, then. Maybe. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though maybe they only play the episodes between 10 PM to 5 AM. Can't disturb the little ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 "Civil War", "Infinity War", characters using curse words in their movies, villain commits genocide killing about 5 trillion people... Not sure where that comment came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@therealsilvermane Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Maybe James Rhodes Disney+ mini-series will be "Ironheart" that's been rumored lately. Maybe that's how they introduce Riri Williams? Relatives, maybe? It seems like the Black Widow movie and the Hawkeye mini-series will introduce younger versions of the legacy characters. Maybe a James Rhodes mini-series will do the same. sagekilz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s a reach, but Rhodes, along with Pepper, Happy, and Peter are the current MCU gatekeepers of Stark tech. If Ironheart is happening, she’ll have to interact in one way or another with them. Bringing back RDJ down the road as an AI like in the comics would be awesome, too. Maybe his voice wouldn’t cost so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantastic_four Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This sounds compelling. Anyone know if there's a comic story this might derive from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet sarcasm is sometimes hard to read, but if that's not the case and you're serious the storyline is literally called Armor Wars and appears from Iron Man #225-231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
