Which Marvel Villains Will Appear in New Movie?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constant to evolve in some fascinating methods, particularly now that they’ve begun to go for tv exhibits or standalone specials to carry some iconic tales to life. One of the preliminary tasks introduced as a Disney+ tv collection was Armor Wars, an adaptation of the Iron Man comedian arc of the identical title — however as was revealed this week, it is getting a little bit of a remix. Instead of a six-episode tv present, Armor Wars is now poised to be a theatrically-released film, which can star Don Cheadle as James “Rhodey” Rhodes / War Machine, and be written by Yassir Lester.

There’s quite a bit that has remained a thriller about Armor Wars in the time because it was initially greenlit, and now that it’s formally headed to the massive display, that begs the query of what bigger impression the now-film might have on the bigger MCU. In specific — particularly given how the unique “Armor Wars” performed out in the comics — what Marvel villains might probably pop up? Here are just a few prospects.

Justin Hammer

As an increasing number of supporting characters have been making returns in newer MCU tasks, one fan-favorite has been on the high of followers’ minds — Sam Rockwell’s Justin Hammer, who final appeared in Iron Man 3. There’s already been some clamoring to see Hammer seem in Thunderbolts, and whether or not or not that finally ends up occurring, Armor Wars nonetheless looks like a no brainer means for him to return, as he is without doubt one of the foremost catalysts for Tony Stark’s tech falling into the mistaken palms in the comics.

Spymaster

Another catalyst in that inciting incident is Spymaster, who stole Tony’s expertise and offered it to Hammer. A grasp of commercial espionage, Spymaster has but to debut in the MCU — however he could be an ideal approach to flesh out the world of the collection, in addition to the opposite inklings of the black market that we have gotten in tasks like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Doctor Doom

Of course, one of many highest-profile names to issue into the “Armor Wars” comedian is Doctor Doom, who Tony initially believes is liable for stealing his tech. While that does not find yourself being the case, he does get entangled in Iron Man: Armored Adventures‘ adaptation of the arc, and has gone toe-to-toe with Tony in the previous. With an ever-growing variety of rumors surrounding Doom’s pending arrival in the MCU, a newly-cinematic Armor Wars could be one of the crucial distinctive locations for him to seem.

The Punisher

While Frank Castle’s tie to the Iron Man mythos is comparatively new, it’s definitely memorable, as he acquired the War Machine armor following the occasions of Secret Empire. Frank finally ends up donning the mantle — albeit together with his personal violent twist — for a stretch of time, earlier than it’s given again to a newly-resurrected Rhodey. Like Doctor Doom, there are not any scarcity of rumors surrounding when and the way Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle might correctly seem in the MCU, and it definitely would create a novel battle for Rhodey in the movie if he did acquire the War Machine armor.

Firepower

One costumed mantle that does find yourself being tied to the occasions of “Armor Wars” is Firepower, which is developed by Tony’s rival, Edwin Cord, in an try to create a brand new armored supersoldier. Once Tony’s tech started to get out into the world, the Firepower mission was refocused to try to cease Iron Man altogether — a battle that would work out in an epic means in the film. Plus, that unique armor could be fascinating to see translated into live-action.

Stilt-Man

One of the weirdest (and arguably greatest) names tied to “Armor Wars”, Stilt-Man is initially a Daredevil villain with a metallic go well with geared up with stilts, which permit him to vary his peak to ridiculous levels. The character has turn into a little bit of a fan-favorite because of his visible absurdity, and has additionally crossed paths with Tony extra lately in the present Iron Man run. If we have to showcase the chances of how Tony’s tech might impression different costumed weirdos, Stilt-Man is without doubt one of the most memorable methods to take action.
