Marvel unleashed its plans for its next two Phases, giving fans a look at the Multiverse Saga, two Avengers movies, standalone films, sequels, and plenty of Disney Plus shows. One series we did not see anything about was Armor Wars, causing a rumor of its cancellation. Writer Yassir Lester took to his Instagram stories (as reported by CBR) to stamp out what people were saying and confirm that it was still happening.
“I promise it is still coming out,” was written on a black screen on the writer’s Instagram story about the Armor Wars cancellation rumor. Don Cheadle will lead the Disney Plus series as he reprises his role as War Machine, who was confirmed to star next to Samuel L. Jackson in Secret Invasion next spring.
Armor Wars Cancellation Rumor Shut Down
It is uncertain how much the series will take from the comic of the same name. The source material was a seven-issue Iron Man story written by David Michelinie and Bob Layton, with art by Mark D. Bright and Barry Windsor-Smith. All we know is that one, the Armor Wars cancellation is not true. Secondly, it is described that the protagonist will see “what happens when Tony Stark’s tech falls into the wrong hands.”
With no cancellation for Armor Wars, we will get two projects that honor the memory of Tony Stark and his tech. While we get Cheadle leading his series, another series for the platform will be Ironheart. The series will see Dominique Thorne (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Riri Williams, an intelligent young woman who creates armor similar to Iron Man. She will make her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on November 11 and have her show in fall 2023. Curious fans can see glimpses of her and the making of her suit in the trailer that was released for Wakanda Forever.
No release date is known for Armor Wars. When it does come, it will be streamed on Disney Plus.
