AVENGERS: ENDGAME - War Machine Gets A Badass New Suit Of Armor In This Leaked Promo Art

A new piece of Avengers: Endgame promo art has found its way online, and it reveals some badass new armor for War Machine along with a look at the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes in their white suits...

Filed Under: Avengers: Endgame

It was recently confirmed that the embargo on Avengers: Endgame merchandise will lift on March 31st. That means action figures, LEGO sets, t-shirts, and more will all finally be shown off in hi-res, and with them should come some amazing new promo art.

For now, we're just going to have to make do with leaks, and the latest piece of imagery from he highly anticipated Marvel Studios movie shows Earth's Mightiest Heroes decked out in those white (Quantum Realm?) costumes. A handful of characters are missing, but arguably the most noteworthy reveal here is that badass armour being worn by War Machine.

Not only does he look huge, but Rhodey has clearly undergone some massive upgrades, including the cannon on his shoulder and whatever that is on his arm which is being pointed directly at us.

It makes sense for his armour to have been overhauled, especially if Iron Man's best buddy hopes to help turn the tide against Thanos and his army of Outriders and Chitauri.

Do you think War Machine could deliver the killing blow to the Mad Titan in Avengers: Endgame?

Avengers: Endgame reveals from Empire Magazine!

There Was Very Nearly Zero Marketing

So far, we've had two posters, two trailers, and one TV spot for Avengers: Endgame. That's not quite enough for some but it's by no means a bad haul for such a secretive movie. But, did Marvel Studios consider doing no marketing whatsoever for the Avengers: Infinity War sequel?

"We did," Joe Russo confirms. "We talked about all scales of marketing."

"The thing that's most important to us is that we preserve the surprise of the narrative," he continues. "When I was a kid and saw The Empire Strikes Back at 11am on the day it opened, and sat there until 10pm watching it back to back to back, it so profoundly moved me because I didn't know a damn thing about the story I was going to watch. We're trying to replicate that experience."

Does Kevin Feige Regret Those Deaths?

Infinity War obviously wraps up with characters like Star-Lord, Spider-Man, and Black Panther all turning to dust after the Mad Titan snapped his fingers and unleashed the power of the Infinity Stones, but does Feige regret such a bold storytelling decision?

"I was a hundred percent confident in that ending," he says, "until about the Monday before release. Then I started to get really nervous. It was like, 'Wait a minute: what have we done?' For years, leading up to the release of that ending, people were going, 'These movies are predictable. The good guy always wins.'"

"And for years I was thinking, 'Just wait.'"

The Snap Was Nearly Saved For Avengers: Endgame

"We had so much story in those early drafts of Infinity War that, if anything, we thought we maybe shouldn't do The Snap until the end of act one of Endgame," says McFeely. Feige, meanwhile, confirms that adapting that moment from the comics was always a priority: "We talked about that ending for years and years and years. It was the reason to adapt Infinity Gauntlet."

"What was the most shocking thing we could do?" he asks. "End the movie with The Snap."

As for whether or not he thinks the cliffhanger ending is a bad thing, Feige adds: "I understand why people would use that word, but it comes to an end, and that end is, Thanos wins."

What Makes Endgame Different To Infinity War

The Russos point out that the movie's ending leaves them in a position where they had to say, "Alright, we have no idea how the story can move forward from here. We've just killed half the characters" according to Joe.

McFeely, meanwhile, notes that after telling the previous movie from Thanos' perspective, the biggest change here is that there's a much narrower focus on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. "Infinity War had 23 people on the poster," he says. "That dictated a certain type of pace and a certain type of movie."

"There's only, what, nine people on the poster for Endgame? So maybe you can do a different type of storytelling."

What Comes Next?

"The jumping off point for [Endgame] is the question, 'How do you move forward when you've lost like this?'" Anthony says. "What is the way forward from that kind of experience?'"

According to McFeely, Thor is "not blaming anybody but himself" and he "does have a lot of guilt" for failing to deliver the killing blow to the Mad Titan the last time they crossed paths.

"I don't want to say it's a laugh riot," the writer notes when asked about the first act. "It comes from a darker place."

Why The Heroes Didn't Just Vanish

In the comic books, when Thanos snaps his fingers, half of the universe just vanishes. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, they turned to ash. Now, Feige has elaborated on why that change was made and who exactly came up with it.

"Dan DeLeeuw, our visual effects supervisor, and our visual effects team, came up with the ash effect. We didn't want people to simply disappear, and people think they had been teleported somewhere. It needed to seem much more permanent than that." Looking back, it's fair to say that Marvel made the right decision in this regard.

Test Screening Reactions

Remember that feeling you were left with after watching Earth's Mightiest Heroes perish? Well, those same reactions were what Infinity War received during test screenings as well.

"When we do test screenings, you can judge the authenticity of reactions based on when the applause starts," Feige reveals. "Here, there was nothing. Nothing. Silence. The best reactions after were like, 'I hated it, but I loved it.' 'I hated it, but I understand why it had to happen.'"

Feige also reveals that it was always the plan to kill off some big names as Spider-Man's demise was "filmed on the first or second day of what would be an almost two-year process."

Endgame Will Feature An "Epic Narrative"

After Feige jokingly said that Avengers: Endgame will be three hours of Steve Rogers in a support group meeting, Anthony Russo more seriously states that we can expect an "epic narrative" and McFeely promises that "It's just the most. It's just the biggest."

That's hardly a surprise, and it's clear this movie will take us to some unexpected places.

This Movie Will Change The MCU Forever

"We are in different territory, possibly than anyone's ever been in before in terms of a movie series," Markus says in regards to how Endgame will impact the rest of this shared world.

"The MCU continues to exist. Who happens to be in it is fluid and evolving things where, because it's all connected, you can't reboot one. All the parts have to work together. Things continue, but like life, losses are real, and change is real."

As for why we've heard very little about what comes next, Feige adds: "It's not even just about spoilers. It's about keeping the focus on what we're working on."

Focusing On The Original Six

"He's been our guy since we started at Marvel," Markus says in regards to Captain America. "He's the barometer for the team. You go look for Captain America and if he's still fighting, you keep fighting. But if he's sitting on his butt in the dirt, saying, 'Oh God,' that really, really means you lost."

"People would point out that that Cap wasn't in Infinity War a whole lot," adds Feige. "And Iron Man didn't really speak for that last half hour because of what was going on. But those characters, and all of the original six, are very much the focus of Endgame in a very personal and emotional way."

Lol, War machine is far more likely to get HeimdaLl-ed at the very beginning of the very first battle than to be the one to put Thanos down.

XelCorp - 3/19/2019, 9:21 AM

@clornelas - lmao you know what now that I think of it he prob won’t even make it until the last act. Hopefully he does tho. Just so that the final battle can contain as many characters as possible

LiteraryJoe - 3/19/2019, 9:36 AM

@XelCorp - Well, he /is/ a Skrull, so there's that.

XelCorp - 3/19/2019, 9:40 AM

@LiteraryJoe - who said he’s a skrull?

Lostcause - 3/19/2019, 9:53 AM

@clornelas - I'm thinking his storyline might hook up with Captain Marvel's. They were good together in the comics short lived as it was.

SpideyPuffsMJ - 3/19/2019, 10:24 AM

@Lostcause - You think Don Cheadle and Brie Larson are gonna get together on-screen??

Lostcause - 3/19/2019, 10:53 AM

@SpideyPuffsMJ - No. I think James Rhodey and Carol Danver had some good times in the comics...other than She Hulk breaking Rhodey in half, and some flirting on screen would be cool. Why not? I mean, with the world in Endgame...Rhodey can get it while he can. She will live through it and.

Reeds2Much - 3/19/2019, 8:58 AM

Do you think War Machine could deliver the killing blow to the Mad Titan in Avengers: Endgame?

No. Tony is the main character.

Jayman627 - 3/19/2019, 8:59 AM

Do his feet even touch the ground with that suit😂😂

TheAccuser - 3/19/2019, 9:01 AM

In Regular colors this Probably looks Terrific, but in those...he looks rather LONG. I actually really like the Quantum Suits otherwise.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 3/19/2019, 9:01 AM

They have time to make custom fitted outfits, but only War Machine gets one designed to match his superhero suit.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 3/19/2019, 9:07 AM

@Soos - Iron Man?

LongMayHeReign - 3/19/2019, 9:14 AM

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Did you forget Infinity War that quickly?

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 3/19/2019, 9:18 AM

@LongMayHeReign - The QR suit would not be able to fit over that.

LongMayHeReign - 3/19/2019, 9:21 AM

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Why not? We've seen Hulk wearing one in promo material...

XelCorp - 3/19/2019, 9:23 AM

@LongMayHeReign - Exactly

LongMayHeReign - 3/19/2019, 9:27 AM

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Plus my guy, they've literally already shown us Stark with the QR suit over or intertwined with his Iron Man suit.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 3/19/2019, 9:42 AM

@LongMayHeReign -

In no way is this:

Being worn under this:

And if it is meant to be, then it makes no sense. #1, it'd be far bulkier and #2, it would match the form of the suit/body just like War Machine and Hulk's.

SuperManes - 3/19/2019, 10:01 AM

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - what Tony doesn't need the suit cause he "infected" himself with Extremis to give him an edge the next time he faces Thanos??!!

LongMayHeReign - 3/19/2019, 10:29 AM

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Bruh the point is the QR suit could be made to expand. What's so hard about grasping that idea? Didn't Stark make Hulk expanding pants in AoU? Tony is dealing in nano tech now so literally all the QR suits could be made of nano tech and just form on each of them like the IW gif i provided.

Obviously Stark doesn't have the suit on in this pic but that does not mean it isn't being housed underneath the QR for application when ready. I would guess the only reason Rhodey's suit isn't nano tech as well is because he is carrying such a large payload of weaponry that it would be way too heavy.

MexCowboyNation - 3/19/2019, 9:04 AM

Shit, wake me up when he does this...

CurlyBill - 3/19/2019, 9:04 AM

I like the contrast between Tony and Rhodeys suits. In every film Tony's suits get sleaker and less clunky where as Rhodeys suits get heavier and have more going on in each film. He looks like a walking tank right now and that's pretty badass.

MexCowboyNation - 3/19/2019, 9:06 AM

@CurlyBill - War Machine has gotten slicker until Mark 4. Mark 2 and 3 and smaller than Mark 1.

XelCorp - 3/19/2019, 9:25 AM

@CurlyBill - what is that the mark 2? That one was easily the worst. It’s just the iron patriot suit without the paint job.

MyCoolYoung - 3/19/2019, 9:32 AM

@CurlyBill -

Vigor - 3/19/2019, 1:59 PM

@CurlyBill - flying tank!

FireandBlood - 3/19/2019, 9:05 AM

JosephCronos92 - 3/19/2019, 9:07 AM

That's an awfully photoshoped picture lol

But hey War Machine's looking better and better, getting those MarvelvsCapcom vibes.

NoAssemblyReqd - 3/19/2019, 9:11 AM

Lol, I hope one of the characters has a throwaway line about how their save-the-universe outfits look like an Olympic swim team’s.

L0RDbuckethead - 3/19/2019, 9:11 AM

One of the most under-appreciated MCU heroes.
