Summary
I ’m even more excited about Marvel Studios ' upcomingArmor Warsmovie after learning that Ultron will be returning to theMCU . In late months , word regarding Don Cheadle ’s first solo project in the MCU has been scarce , especially after 2023’sSecret Invasionintroduced a controversial twist in the account of James " Rhodey " Rhodes ' War Machine . I ’m still uncertain about thestatus of Marvel Studios’Armor Wars- we have n’t had an update since 2022 - but casting intelligence for another forthcoming MCU task might spell good news for the picture .
I was thrilled to hear that James Spader will be reprising the role of Ultron in theMCU ’s upcomingVisionseries , which is determine to premiere in 2026 ( viaThe Hollywood newsman ) . This will be the first time Spader ’s Ultron has been seen in the MCU since 2015’sAvengers : Age of Ultron , andtheVisionseries could set up the autocratic hokey intelligence as a major threat in several upcoming projects . While a joining between theVisionseries andArmor Warshasn’t been established yet , I regard Ultron ’s take could heighten the upcoming pic massively .

I Want To Know More About The MCU’s Upcoming Armor Wars Movie
Nothing Has Been Heard About Armor Wars Since 2022
Armor Warswas first announce to be in development in December 2020 , and was to begin with plan to premier as a Disney+ series focused on Rhodey ’s attempts to dispense with organizations trying to replicate Tony Stark ’s technology and the Iron Man armor . Clearly , this was inspired by the Marvel Comics plot line of the same name from 1987 , which learn Tony Stark apprehend several villains who had steal his technology . I imaginedArmor Warsas the MCU’sIron Man 4substitute , but I ’m implicated that not much is yet known about the project .
In September 2022,The Hollywood ReporterconfirmedArmor Warswould be reworked as a feature of speech film for the MCU . Shockingly , this is the most recent update concerningArmor Wars , which makes me jolly worried that the movie might be table or postponed indefinitely . Marvel boss Kevin Feige neglected to gloss onArmor Warsat this yr ’s SDCC and D23 presentations . Rhodey ’s MCU story has become confusing in recent year , so I want more to be revealed aboutArmor Wars , bringing War Machine back to configuration .
Marvel Studios ' forthcoming Armor Wars movie will continue Iron Man ’s MCU legacy , and could see a seasoned grinder step up to be the Avengers ' next leader .
Ultron’s Return To The MCU Could Make Armor Wars Even More Important
James Spader Is Returning As Ultron In The MCU’s Vision Series
I ca n’t expect forJames Spader to return to the MCU(Spader ’s Robert California fromThe Officeis one of my favorite characters of all time ) , but I think his takings wo n’t only benefit Marvel Television’sVisionseries . Ultron add up back to the MCU could also makeArmor Warsa much more all important cog in the Multiverse Saga car , peculiarly since the golem tyrant slot perfectly into theArmor Warsstoryline from Marvel Comics . Ultron has nothing to do with Tony Stark in the comics , but he is the ultimate case of leave out Stark engineering in the MCU .
Hank Pym created Ultron in Marvel Comics in 1968 , basing the artificial intelligence on his own mental capacity waves . Ultron make a hatred for Pym , though became hypnotised by Janet Van Dyne , and he was the first major character to handle the fabricated metal alloy , adamantium .
In the MCU , Robert Downey Jr. ’s Tony Stark created Ultron in 2015 ’s eponymousAvengers : Age of Ultron . He designate Ultron to act as a protective shield for the planet Earth , but Ultron surmise that he should protect the world from the Avengers and humans . Ultron ’s connexion to Vision means the latter ’s solo series is the perfect spot for the artificial intelligence activity to recall , but his link to Stark take a crap me think thatArmor Warswill also feature Ultronas its villain , making War Machine ’s solo movie even more important .
Armor Wars Can Adapt Marvel’s Biggest Ultron Storyline Better Than The Avengers
Avengers: Age Of Ultron Didn’t Adapt Marvel Comics' Age Of Ultron Properly
Despite being titledAvengers : Age of Ultron , the Phase 2 crossing over flick had nothing to do with the Marvel Comics story of the same name from 2013.In Marvel Comics’Armor Warsevent , an alternate universe was explore in which Ultron had succeeded in conquer the world and rebuilding it in his own image . This storyline was accommodate for Marvel Animation’sWhat If … ?season 1 , episode 8 , " What If … Ultron Won ? . " Even thoughWhat If … ?already exploredAge of Ultron , I ’d still love to see this account flirt out in live - action .
I cerebrate this would be a fantasticstory to tell inArmor Wars , especially if the movie loose as part of the MCU ’s Multiverse Saga . Similarly to howDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessexplored alternate realities , Deadpool & Wolverinecaught up with Earth-10005 , andThe Fantastic Four : First Stepswill speculation into a new universe , Armor Warscan do the same . This could makeArmor Warsa much more expansive , transformative and intense news report for Rhodey , for certain redeeming him from his recent disappointments in the MCU .
Justin Hammer has been rumored to be pass in the MCU ’s Armor Wars , and this return may have been presage way back in Phase 1 ’s Iron Man 2 .
I Don’t Think Rhodey Is Strong Enough To Take On Ultron Alone In Armor Wars - He’ll Need Help
War Machine Could Bring Together A New Avengers Team In Armor Wars
While featuring Ultron inArmor Warsmakes sensation to me , and make me think thatArmor Warscould be a great topographic point to explore Marvel Comics’Age of Ultronevent properly , this also makes me worried for Rhodey . War Machine is simply not firm enough to take on a baddie as powerful as Ultron by himself - Tony Stark ’s Iron Man sure could n’t do it alone inAvengers : Age of Ultron . However , Rhodey does n’t need to do this alone , asArmor Warsmay also go down up a stain - new Avengers team in theMCU ’s Phase 6 : the West Coast Avengers .
The West Coast Avengers team was first formed by Hawkeye and Vision in 1984’sThe West Coast Avengers # 1 , as they require to extend the Avengers ' influence outside of New York City . The founding members of the squad including Hawkeye , Mockingbird , War Machine , Wonder Man and Tigra .
War Machine is a key appendage of the West Coast Avengers in Marvel Comics , and several other noted members have been introduced in recent age , or soon will be . White Vision , Wonder Man and Clint Barton ’s Hawkeye could form the squad ’s innovation , while West Coast heroes such as Ant - Man , She - Hulk and Shang - Chi would also be unnerving addition . If Ultron is determine to appear inArmor Wars , I think Rhodey ’s West Coast Avengers would be the perfect hero to take him on , and the hypothesis of this happening makes me very excited for the approaching movie .
