The decision of turningArmor Warsfrom a Disney+ series into a movie instead was a shocking one, to say the least. But it managed to earn exciting reactions from fans nonetheless, since this is going to be the first MCU feature film that Don Cheadle will be headlining.
The news about the sudden switch concerning the MCU project was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter a while ago, thereby sparking curiosity amongst the Marvel fandom whether Don Cheadle had any sway regarding this change or not. And it turns out he didn’t, as the 58-year-old actor himself clarified, indicating that Marvel didn’t grant him authority to such a degree that he could change the course of an entire show and release it as a film.
One might think that for someone who has been a part of Marvel for more than a decade, the award-winning actor might have an active say in decisions of such importance that directly involve him. But it looks like there are some things that even War Machine can’t control.

Don Cheadle Talks AboutArmor WarsBeing Released As A Film
Don Cheadleappeared onJimmy Kimmel Liveon Thursday, where he addressed the subject of switchingArmor Warsinto a movie instead of releasing it as a Disney+ show, the way Marvel had initially announced.
According to certain rumors that floated around the internet, Cheadle had apparently put some pressure on Marvel Studios’ president,Kevin Feigeto transformArmor Warsinto a movie instead of a series. And Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the chat show prompted the two-time Grammy winner to shed some light on the same by asking him whether he had any hand in this major decision or not. Cheadle, to this, responded in the negative.

“Contrary to popular belief, I don’t make those kinds of decisions at Marvel,”theMiles Aheadstar revealed.
Kimmel further prodded the topic by referring to Cheadle’s superhero character in the MCU, saying how War Machine is the kind who“would just tell everybody what he wants to do.”But theReign Over Meactor remarked how War Machine is just a fictional character, pointing out the fact that reality tends to work in a much different way than the fictional world.
Don Cheadle Isn’t Responsible for theArmor WarsSwitch
As theHotel Rwandastar himself admitted, it wasn’t because of him that the six-episode Disney+ series (as was originally planned) got altered as an upcoming movie instead, and neither did he have any say in the decision-making process that followed.
As per MCU executive Nate Moore, the main reason whyArmor Warswon’t be released as a full-fledged series is because some concepts and ideas that the franchise had in mind for narrating anArmor Warsstoryline, were too vast to cramp all of them into one single show.

Cheadle’s Marvel debut was marked by his role inIron Man 2(2010) when he replaced Terrence Howard as the military veteran James Rhodes. So in a way, releasingArmor Warsas a film serves to be of great value to him, considering how it will be his first-ever solo superhero movie in the franchise as War Machine. However, as theHouse of Liesstar stated, this decision was one that didn’t fall under his radar.
Plot details ofArmor Warsalong with its release date are currently being kept under the wraps.
