Spread MCU News

Marvel’s official synopsis reads: “What happens if Tony Stark’s tech falls into the wrong hands? Don Cheadle returns to the role as James Rhodes – AKA War Machine – who must face these tech consequences in this classic Marvel story.

It’s believed the plot will be based on a seven-issue Iron Man arc of the same name, published between 1987 and 1988. It follows Tony Stark after he discovers his technology has been stolen by Spymaster and sold to Justin Hammer. Speaking to Phase Zero at D23, Cheadle said we’ll see how Rhodey is affected by the death of Tony in the movie. “[Rhodey is] at a very different place in a way that is something that I can’t talk about, but it’s going to very surprising to a lot of people.

“And the great thing is there’s just going to be so much opportunity to learn a lot about him and for him to learn about himself and for us, hopefully, to really be able to get behind what makes him tick. “If you know anything about the lore, and you’ve read the comic books, you understand that it’s a series that was built around Tony’s Stark Tech getting out and Rhodey taking it on to go get this tech back from the bad hands, the bad actors whose hands it is in.
