Infinity War War Machine/Rhodey... Like or Don't Like?

[Aximili86]

Could say that about most of these people, to be fair. RDJ as Iron Man? :P Anthony Hopkins is Thor's dad?!

 

[Iron_Stark]

I like him and his current arc having to deal with being physically disabled. My question is whether he'll be kept around as a sort of replacement Iron Man once/if Tony Stark dies/retires post-Avengers 4. (I'm betting he'll survive; they've already injured him once, so an actual death this soon afterwards might come off as being too much.)

He'll probably be done with the role along with RDJ

Bring on Jon Bernthal's Punisher as the new War Machine!

If he's not dead I guess he might want to return in cameos here and there at least, even if he is otherwise done.

It's weird seeing Don Cheadle in the MCU. Seems so different than films he did over a decade ago (Traitor/Hotel Rwanda/Crash) or even the Oceans trilogy.

Don't forget Boogie Nights...and Swordfish.

Got a point about RDJ, but he came into Iron Man as arguably a washed up star trying to get back into the industry (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Zodiac) which he did prior to the film.

Does Anthony Hopkins even realize he was in Thor? Seems he only does films for paychecks now. *cough cough* Transformers

 

[TheVerbos]

I really don't care about Don Cheadle's character in the films and I don't care for Don Cheadle in the role. He's not the Rhodey I'm familiar with. He doesn't have that take charge persona. He's just Downey's upstaged buddy. He doesn't do much for me.

Why waste money on cameos? Marvel can make a full on movie with Bernthal now that he made Punisher a hit. Plus him using Stark armor, dollar signs right there. Or they could use the suit in the Netflix show.

They should do it.

 

[TheVileOne]

Iron Stark, you say some weird things. They aren't going to bring Jon Bernthal into the movies to be War Machine or make a theatrical Punisher movie.

It's probably for the best. Plus, Bernthal being War Machine makes no sense. And Stark and the other Avengers would likely not be OK with allowing something like that.

Oh sorry, I was still talking about Cheadle. All those things can become possible when Marvel choose to integrate the shows into the films which they haven’t yet as far as I know. If they did I think they’d start with Daredevil. I like your idea, just don’t see it as likely any time soon.

You not reading Punisher comics? Pretty good so far. Nick Fury sent him to "borrow" the WM armor for a mission.

They could do that for the movies or his tv show. Fury has appeared on AOS, so why not the Netflix show?

I don't see it anytime soon either, just think it would be cool to have the WM armor in the Netflix show down the line if the possibility of a movie is out of the question.

Yeah, I’d like to see Punisher get his hands on some tech like that. Not sure about seeing him flying around though.

Ah, well that looks really good! I hadn’t seen it before.

Pretty good read so far. IMO it would break up the monotony if Marvel ever planned to do something with the WM armor and/or if they ever though of doing another Punisher movie.

 

[Pink Ranger]

As cool as the Punisher/WM concept is in the comics, it would be a jump the shark moment if it were to ever happen in the MCU or on TV.

I am suprised that Hammer technology hasn't been used much since Iron-Man 2. So what if it is not as good as Stark technology it is better than nothing. An "obsolete" Iron Man armor with Hammer guns is War Machine after all. Something about little less for the Punisher seems possible

You'd preferred they kept Howard?

I do wonder if say Idris Elba might have gotten the role to begin with, how things might have been? He's wasted in the Thor films. He has the looks and talent to have made WAR MACHINE a real shining star. Not knocking Cheadle, though I feel the role is underwritten.

I never cared for him until Civil War.

 

[Iceman]

I wouldn't mind seeing Hammer himself back in a film one day.

It's definitely underwritten. I'm not sure that would've preferred Terrence Howard. He didn't remind me much of Rhodey either. If Elba were to have a different role, I would've preferred that it be a lead. He would've been a solid Black Panther. I could imagine him being better than Boseman.

 

[Boy Scout]

The character is...fine. I forget he exists literally the second he’s out of my direct line of sight.

And I’ll say this: Howard was a better Rhodey, but Cheadle is a better War Machine.

Oh right, thanks. If they do do a movie it will feel funny if Bernthal doesn’t get the role.

i just watched an old interview where Don Cheadle was up for the idea of a solo War Machine movie. I love his character and Don Cheadle is awesome for the role, actually better than Terrence Howard, imo.

I actually hope War Machine solo film goes through. If Black Widow is getting her own film, she made her debut in IM 2 just like Cheadle. I'm hoping War Machine gets his own spin off. You can easily throw in a side-character ppl for a team up , just like Spider-Man Homecoming had Iron Man & Thor Ragnarok had Hulk - those obviously paid off in the box office.

How old was the interview?

I can't see a film being done. Maybe a mini-series might be intriguing.

but I would figure we see more of war machine in future Avenger films rather than a solo film.

I kinda think had they built up his character in Iron Man 3 more and given him more of a role in Age of Ultron, his solo film might have made some sense. Or even allowing him to appear in Captain Marvel in a big role.

But alas, I think the only way we see a solo Rhodey film is in animated form.
