Have you watched a Marvel Studios show on Disney+ and thought “I wish this was just a movie?” Well that just happened with development of the upcoming Armor Wars. The show, which stars Don Cheadle as War Machine, was being developed as a follow up from the events in next year’s Secret Invasion but now, it turns out, the story is being moved over to the big screen.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news and wrote that “sources say the studio was committed in getting the story told the right way and in that process realized that a feature was better suited for the project.” io9 spoke to a source close to the project that confirmed this was all accurate.
Yassir Lester, who was hired last year as the lead writer on Armor Wars, will stay on to write the feature though a director is not yet attached.
