We know now that one of the upcoming Disney+ Marvel shows is set to star Don Cheadle as Rhodey Rhodes, best known from the Iron Man movies, but we know little else.
Until now when a very exciting couple of rumours have popped up.
The series, as far as we know so far, will focus on Rhodey basically taking over the Iron Man role and taking on some of Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jnr) old enemies.
Of course, like us, many fans have hoped we would see Justin Hammer, played wonderfully by the (so far) criminally underused Sam Rockwell in Iron Man II and the Marvel One-Shot All Hail The King… and according to scooper Daniel Ritchman is reporting that Hammer will indeed be the main villain in the series.
On top of this, as we speculated here, actress Dominique Thorne will make her debut as Riri Williams AKA Iron Heart, a young girl who builds the MCU’s most advanced suit of armour since Tony Stark himself.
This is all pretty exciting news and, if they can keep up the quality of WandaVision (which is blowing our minds so far) then we’re in for a lot of fun with this one.
PS it’ll be fantastic to have Hammer back in the MCU because an evil Tony Stark is such an exciting prospect for an MCU villain.
Thoughts? I want to hear them all.
