Marvel Cinematic Universe star Don Cheadle has teased at War Machine’s future after Avengers: Endgame.
Last year’s San Diego Comic-Con showed that despite a big finale the Infinity Saga with Avengers: Endgame the franchise was not slowing down. It announced several new projects for preexisting characters as well as a few new projects for new characters. One who seemed to be left out, however, Was Don Cheadle’s War Machine.
Don Cheadle, of course, took over the role of War Machine in Iron Man 2 due, in part, to a pay dispute between Tarrence Howard and Marvel Studios. Since then he has appeared in seven films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. War Machine’s future in the MCU, however, is currently unknown as the character has not been announced to appear in any of these upcoming projects.
During a recent interview, Don Cheadle talked about his potential future as War Machine after Avengers: Endgame. He stated that if they were to do a project revolving around War Machine he would want to do something that was more akin to the first Iron Man film:
“If there were to be one, I’d really want to dig into him and maybe even find something that felt closer to the first Iron Man for who he was. I think they can go anywhere with him now.”
When asked if there was some kind of War Machine series in development at Disney+ Don Cheadle said he hadn’t given it much thought:
“I really don’t know. I haven’t given it much thought as far as which would be or if either would even be. That was an 11 year journey.”
