Armor Wars, Marvel\u2019s previously-announced six-episode Disney Plus series, will now be redeveloped into a film.<\/p>\n

Don Cheadle, who is reviving his role as War Machine, also known as Colonel James Rhodes, will continue to lead the project, while Yassir Lester, who was acting as head writer on the series, will also write the film.<\/p>\n

A director has yet to be announced, and it\u2019s not known when the movie will be released.<\/p>\n

According to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, sources say that the studio decided the story was better suited to a movie during development on the project.<\/p>\n

Armor Wars was first mentioned at Disney\u2019s D23 Expo, when Cheadle joined Marvel Studios producer and president Kevin Feige on stage. Feige had previously announced plans for the project in late 2020.<\/p>\n
