While watching the first few
Captain America: Civil War trailers, were you one of the many fans to go, "Man, I hope the Russo Bros. don't kill of War Machine in this film!" If you were, actor
Don Cheadle, who's played James Rhodes since
Iron Man 2, heard your concerns and provided a response.
"I'm on Twitter, so I've gotten a few people going, 'Rhodey better not be dead, son. I'm going to be so mad.' Or 'I'm done with this thing if Rhodey's dead,'" Cheadle said to the New York Daily News.
"But that's cool, I like that people get so upset about it. I like that in a Marvel movie people are able to evoke such emotion."
Cheadle also spoke on how it felt to re-unite with Robert Downey Jr. for the fourth time (
Iron Man 2,
Iron Man 3, and
Avengers: Age of Ultron).
"Making those Marvel movies is always so interesting, because for Robert and I, once the face plate is down, (the computer programmers) most of the time take over." With this being a Captain America film, how much will we see Rhodey and Stark together, aside from the epic fight scenes? According to Cheadle, not often.
"So we're not often all together in the same place. This time, we have a couple of scenes where we're all together — a board room scene, at headquarters and out on the tarmac (for the film's signature battle)."
In the trailers, it looked as if a repulsor-type weapon (seemingly from Iron Man's suit?) struck down War Machine. If not that, the blast could have came from the Vision's Infinity Stone, or another un-revealed threat. Whatever it is that puts James Rhodes down for the count, Cheadle admits that it doesn't look too good.
"It does look bad for Rhodey." What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
