Marvel Studios is taking the feature route for its upcoming project "Armor Wars", instead of developing it as a live-action series.
"Armor Wars" was announced as a Disney+ original in December 2020 with actor Don Cheadle set to reprise his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) role of James “Rhodey” Rhodes aka War Machine.
Sources told entertainment news website The Hollywood Reporter that the studio was committed to getting the story told the right way and in that process realised that a film was better suited for the project.
Cheadle and Yassir Lester, who joined the series as the head writer, remain on board the project.
However, Marvel is yet to announce an additional cast and direct for the film as well as its release date.
"Armor Wars" takes its title from the celebrated Marvel Comics storyline that was published in the "Iron Man" comics in 1987 and 1988.
Written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton with art by Mark Bright, the story tackled the idea of the highly advanced technology of Iron Man falling into the wrong hands.
nyone trying to slot Hong Kong filmmaker Ann Hui into a particular genre will be at a loss, for all through her 45 year-long career, she has moved easily between varied spaces, from independent cinema to the mainstream, from personal films to a bit of action too. For that matter, she has made a horror film too. Ask her about it and the 77-year old, who was conferred with the 29th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK)‘s Lifetime achievement award, says with disarming candour that she was just trying to see what she was good at.
