Marvel Taps Head Writer For Iron Man Disney+ Spin-off Armor Wars
Marvel Studios is beginning to make major progress toward development for its projects coming later in 2021 and in 2022. In the past few days alone, Eternals received its long awaited second trailer while other news revealed plans for Dominique Thorne’s Ironheart to join the cast of 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Flying under the radar among the nearly two dozen confirmed Phase 4 entries has been Don Cheadle’s Armor Wars, which will be the MCU veteran’s first headlining effort after 12 years of service. While no specific story details are known, Colonel James Rhodes will have the chance for his story to evolve after the death of his friend and ally Tony Stark in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
Currently, Armor Wars has no signs pointing to a specific production schedule or any news about who will join Cheadle in this expansion to the Iron Man legacy. That now looks to change with the first major personnel addition to this anticipated 2022 outing.
ARMOR WARS HAS ITS WRITER
Deadline reported that Marvel Studios hired Yassir Lester as the head writer for the Armor Wars series coming to Disney+ in 2022.
Lester's pitch for what the show could reportedly excited both Marvel Studios executives and series star Don Cheadle. Lester previously worked with Cheadle as a lead writer for Showtime's Black Monday.
