After Jonathan Majors was removed from the MCU and Robert Downey Jr. was made Doctor Doom in the cinematic universe, it has been quite a long time since people have heard about Armor Wars.

So, what is the deal here? Why the hold-up? Well, we might not have the exact reason why people haven’t heard about Armor Wars but it seems that Don Cheadle might have the answer!
Don Cheadle Has a Question For The Audience
It is usually the reverse case where we ask celebrities questions and they usually give the answer. The problem arises when the celebrity has a question to ask the audience and Don Cheadle has exactly done that.

Things at Marvel Studios have been kept secret for a long time ever since the time of Avengers: Endgame. With the hype and rumors surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel tightened its security around possible spoilers.

Well, it seems that perhaps even the actors are oblivious to what’s going on in the MCU or they are just playing coy. According to a tweet on X, Don Cheadle was asked a question in an interview and his answer… might just break people’s hearts.

Earlier reports from an insider is not helping the case since it was rumored that Secret Wars hadn’t found a director yet and that it was “nowhere near ready” when it was announced by Kevin Feige!

Well, it seems that Marvel is in a bid to finish what it started but from seeing Cheadle’s reply, it seems that Armor Wars has allegedly been scrapped without a director attached.
Is There A Point To Don Cheadle’s Armor Wars?
That is a difficult question to answer. For starters, Armor Wars can be compared to Anthony Mackie picking up the shield of Captain America and starring in Captain America: Brave New World.

Likewise, Don Cheadle’s War Machine will likely step up and take the role of Tony Stark (since he died in Avengers: Endgame). Armor Wars is that film where Don Cheadle can make a difference and honor the legacy of Tony Stark.
As per a scoop by insider Daniel RPK (via Murphy’s Multiverse), an earlier report claimed that Armor Wars hadn’t found its director yet.
The insider reports that the studio will open the new year by searching for a director for the film in hopes of being able to begin production at some point in 2025. That would likely put the film somewhere on the studio’s 2026 slate.
However, recent rumors seem to hint that the movie has been allegedly closed off for good. But, it would have been good to see Don Cheadle step up and take on the mantle of Iron Man after his best friend’s death much like The Falcon.

Don Cheadle’s Marvel movies are available to stream on Disney+ in the U.S.
