That's Not "Iron Patriot" In IRON MAN 3 - It's War Machine!

While the Iron Patriot armour has been spotted on the set of Iron Man 3, it turns out that it isn't actually the Iron Patriot character as previously reported. Instead, it will be suit worn by none other than Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes, a.k.a. War Machine.

Well, this is surprising, although makes perfect sense considering the fact that Iron Patriot is sporting a gun on his back similar to War Machine's. According to the ever reliable folks over at Latino Review, while that is the Iron Patriot armour in those photos from the set of Iron Man 3, it's not James Badge Dale's Coldblood under the armour or any other villain for that matter (in the comic books, it was Norman Osborn whoe donned the suit). Instead, that was just a white stuntman filling in for Don Cheadle during filming of a scene which also involved Tony Stark and other US military types. Their source on the set tells them that while he may end up being called "Iron Patriot" in the threequel, it IS still War Machine and simply Rhodey's new armour. So, NOT a new character who we will see facing off against Iron Man. Be sure to click on the link below for more details.

Yeah. I figured either that or Detroit Steel. After I got to thinking about it. LOL. Should have predicted it and then everyone would have been like, "Wow, you're smart..." lol.

Cool though. Didn't really want it to be a bad guy so they could live up to their promise of having not other guys in armored suits...

I knew they weren't going to call it iron patriot. They just gave it the paint job as an Easter egg for comic fans.

Ohhhhh....well, I guess my assumption(s) were wrong, I guess. Well, I definitely want to hear an explanation as to why Rhodey redesigned his War Machine armor. Maybe it will be for publicity stunt. Like a parade, as many other CBMers have said before. Again, IM3 is really getting interesting. :)

@IM53 i think rhodey was still too grossed out over tony and pepper kissing that he had to stay away even when the fate of the world (or at least Cleveland, er, NYC) was hanging in the balance.

I think Rhodey should've just kept the same armor.
HelaGood
HelaGood - 6/8/2012, 11:46 AM
i personally thought it was spider-man inside the suit.

The paint job isn't going to be exactly like the comics cause the armor isn't exactly like the comics.

I prefer this to be honest, the U.S. Government using Rhodey's armour to inspire troops cause Iron Man won't do it for them? Who knows but I prefer this not being another big character

I hope be doesn't keep this paint job throughout the movie. Looked better before.

still sounds like a take on Detroit Steel... considering it was decked out in Hammer tech.

well that's a little less shit than having IP without Osborn I guess.

I hope war machine and iron man for that matter do some serious damage in this one

Makes sense actually. The design could just be government propaganda, kind of like Captain America's suit.
TheAmazingSpidey63
TheAmazingSpidey63 - 6/8/2012, 11:51 AM
Maybe an easter egg or a nod to the Iron Patriot armor. I mean, this 'redesigned' War Machine does have a similar look or design to the Iron Patriot armor. Or maybe the government wanted Rhodey to pull off a publicity stunt for the public, I guess.

Stay EPIC, my friends!

TheAmazingSpidey63 - 6/8/2012, 11:56 AM
@53, Hell, I would think more like 9 or 10 seconds top. That'll be enough time for a good look at this easter egg. And nice Iron-Man/War Machine bomb and T&A bomb. ;)

Hope it's a temporary redesign, I prefer War Machine's black and grey classic look.

wonder why most sites were claiming that it was the actor under that suit.

I said that they turned WM's armor into the iron patriot armor because of the guns on his back. That doesnt mean Rhodey is gonna stay in the suit. It fits with wat theyve been building. Theyve always wanted Tonys suit so I assume after Rhodey left with it in IM2 they took it and repainted it. We'll see how it gets executed in the movie but I always knew that was the WM suit, they TURNED it into Iron Patriot tho

It makes sense that he would get a paint job. Now he's like Robo-cap or something.

@Tea - Teabag's your name, and randomness/T&A is your game. ;)
