Avengers: Endgame will once again put the spotlight on War Machine, a character who successfully made the leap from the Iron Man franchise to the one featuring all of Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

The hero is expected to wear a number of armours in Endgame (you can take a closer look at one of them by clicking here), but Don Cheadle's Rhodey could have had an even larger role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe once upon a time as the actor has now revealed that Marvel Studios was once considering a solo War Machine movie.

Written by Black Panther co-writer Joe Robert Cole, it would have explored "a lot of tension between his job as a military man and his allegiances to the code that he swore an oath to uphold, versus the changing world."

"I think they probably would have run afoul of each other a little bit, but I don’t know if he would have been a straight fugitive, or if he would have become decommissioned. But there was definitely going to be some tension between those two worlds." That certainly would have gone some way in fleshing the character out and it sounds like a great approach overall.

We also have some hi-res screenshots from the new TV spot, and you can check those out by clicking on the "View List" button!

The WORLD is still waiting for The Incredible Hulk 2.

Next phase lets make it happen Disney / Marvel Studios !!!

I wonder if he could get a Disney+ show. I’m sure the War Machine amour would be pretty costly in terms of CGI costs.

Ah well. I wish Rhodey could have been involved in Avengers 1. Could have been cool.
