Though Black Panther will be Marvel ’s first plastic film with a pitch-black Pb and a preponderantly black cast , the Wakandan king is n’t the first calamitous submarine sandwich to take halfway stage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . That distinction belong to James Rhodes — War car — a character who almost got his own solo movie .
During a late interview withComplex , Black Panther screenwriter Joe Robert Cole spoke about how he first became a part of Marvel ’s author program . Unlike most prospects , who typically write pitch scripts specifically as part of an app to get into the workshop , the studio reached out to Cole directly because of a “ Chinatown - stylus copper script ” he ’d already penned , which led to a confluence :
At that meeting , they also enounce they were conceive of doing a War Machine flick . I pitched a concept and won that line of work to save the hand but they resolve , based on what Iron Man 3 was going to be , they were n’t going to do War Machine any longer . But they ask if I ’d be concerned in join their writer ’s political program instead .
Marvel was correct to snatch Cole up — the man does good body of work — but it does sting a bit to love that Don Cheadle ’s War Machine could have star in his own film — a moving-picture show that got dislodge off to make way for Iron Man 3 , a serviceable , but not whole interesting MCU movie .
War Machine ’s dynamic with Iron Man is one of the most fascinating in Marvel ’s comics ; more often than not , it ’s Rhodes who end up being the warmness and phonation of grounds when the pair needs end up saving the domain from whatever danger Stark ( inadvertently ) has managed to put the world in . There ’s been some of that resonance in Marvel ’s motion-picture show , but War Machine ’s never quite arrive the fortune to really glisten on screen .
One can only hope that , with all the bombilation and excitement around Black Panther , Marvel might just see an opportunity to polish up that old War Machine task and put it back in the pipeline for a later escort .
