The actor who plays James Rhodes, Don Cheadle, has stated that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) miniseries will serve as a prequel to his next standalone film, Armor Wars. As a result, fans might be expecting some intriguing hints and teases for what Rhodey’s own journey will include.
Even the question of the actual timing of Rhodey Skrull’s replacement may be answered by the final episode. To find out what actually transpired and will ultimately happen to James Rhodey, we must wait until the last episode is released.
Let’s recap James Rhodes’ MCU Journey
The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) James Rhodey made his debut in Terrence Howard’s portrayal of the character in the first Iron Man movie. After that, Don Cheadle adopted the character in Iron Man 2 and has been portraying it for more than ten years.
Although their different lifestyles occasionally resulted in disagreements, Rhodey served as a military liaison for Stark Industries and was a close friend of Tony Stark, as portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. When Tony created the original Iron Man armor and escaped from confinement, Rhodey located him in the desert and helped him in getting back home.
Rhodey and Stark frequently fought in Iron Man 2 because Rhodey thought Stark was handling the armor carelessly. After Stark got intoxicated while he was in his suit, they even got into a heated argument. But eventually, they came to an understanding and joined forces to take down Justin Hammer and Ivan Vanko as well as their other rivals.
Rhodey eventually developed his own customized suit and became the first superhero in the MCU to serve the American government. Later, he became a member of the Avengers, but as seen in Captain America: Civil War, his allegiance to the government occasionally led to disputes within the group.
