Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie. Marvel just revealed
what's going on with our Iron Man armor Wars movie during Marvel Phase 6.
So we'll break it all down.
There's a bunch of stuff they're bringing back.
So if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
Just starting with the big stuff.
First they did confirmed that Armor Wars
is now going to be a movie in Marvel Phase six instead of a Disney Plus series.
That's why they kept delaying it.
They haven't been talking about it in a long time.
It's mostly because of the budget.
It's the first Marvel series that's actually gone upstream that way
with a lot of the Marvel Phase four Disney Plus series that we've gotten.
Having started life as movies that they commissioned writers
to develop a long time ago, and they just later decided to turn into series
I, I made Macaroni.
The Swan song Moon Knight in the Hawkeye series are good examples of that,
like they started as movies that Marvel commissioned a long time ago,
and they kind of sat on a shelf and they decided they wouldn't
be strong enough to be a movie compared to the other movies that they did.
So they just wound up turning them into series.
The reason Armor Wars turned into a movie is mostly because of budget,
because Marvel typically caps
the budget of their Disney Plus series at about $150 million.
That's why they're usually only six episodes or nine episodes.
But the six episode series are always a little bit longer, like 45 minutes
per episode compared to like 30 minutes per episode.
For the nine episode series,
they decided they needed way more than the typical $150 million
to do all the Iron Man armor that they want to do during the movie
because the Armor Wars
movie would largely have to be special effects start to finish.
If they done it as a series,
they'd have to do like five episodes of them walking and talking around
and then one episode with them wearing some armors with a couple of the armors.
So wouldn't have felt very satisfying what people would have
normally expected from an Iron Man Armor War series like Where is this armory?
Why are they all going crazy?
They are doing a version of the original comics story of Armor wars.
The only difference is that Iron Man was still around when that happened,
and they already did part of the plot of that armor wars
for the Iron Man two movie with the Justin Hammer storyline.
In the comic version, Justin Hammer hires a bunch of people
to steal Iron Man's technology and then runs the mask.
Basically, what you saw during Iron Man two.
The minor change, though, is that you have to imagine the end of Iron
Man three with all of his armor showing up, piloted by Jarvis.
That was a little more in the vein of Armor Wars,
where you have a bunch of his armor suits going crazy.
But one of the other big differences
with this new version that they're doing in Marvel
Phase six is that one of the main villains will be Ultron, who will return, played
by James Spader himself, or at least he's supposed to be played by James Spader.
This time.
They actually just brought Ultron back as part of the big Disney Wish storyline
that they did.
All of
a sudden, this is where they keep the room.
It's a weird opening line.
I think that
is. Seriously?
Yeah, I didn't do anything.
Oh, get out of my way.
That was where all those Ant-Man scenes came from,
where he was joking about the bonus, like they actually paid off.
The thing is, scene.
Look, before we start, let me address the elephant in the room.
I heard a lot of chatter out there asking why I didn't
shrink down to go in and
kill Thanos
in a really creative way to protect this, first of all.
GROSS Certainly, it's much more complicated than that.
Let me to explain.
If only we had big time Avengers into the Thanos.
They did bring Ultron back for the What If series as the Infinity.
Ultron, who gained all six Infinity stones, turning himself
into a living Infinity gantlet, embedding them in his chest.
We got some of the craziest scenes in a marvel series or movie ever
Ultron versus the Watcher
punching him across the universes, chomping down, destroying entire galaxies.
But that version of Ultron was played by Ross Marchand, who you remember either
from The Walking Dead or as Red Skull during Infinity War in Avengers Endgame.
That's why those characters had a little bit different.
Like Ultron during What If sounded a little bit different, and Red Skull
during Infinity War, Endgame sounded just a little bit different.
He did a pretty good job of approximating the performance of the original actors
for those characters,
but apparently because they upgraded Armor Wars
to a movie, they have a movie level budget.
They can pay James Spader movie level money to come back.
The idea with Ultron returning, though, is that when Vision destroyed
his final body at the end of Avengers Age of Ultron, that Ultron.
But he didn't truly destroy the Ultron A.I.
itself.
It just went dormant.
Also, the ideas of vision is the fusion of Ultron A.I.
programing in Jarvis.
So there were always pieces of Ultron original code inside Vision's programing.
And we saw during Wandavision that the original vision was reactivated
by Tyler Hayward and Sword as White Vision.
Scarlet Witch created hex vision from her memories with her chaos magic.
He had all of Vision's memories from before his death in Infinity War.
He reactivated all of those inside White vision who then flew off
to stew on everything until armor wars in the Vision Quest series.
They're also giving White Vision a new wandavision spin off series
called Vision Quest based on that comic book storyline
and the more recent vision storyline where he created a family for himself.
They also used a little bit of that for Wandavision, but not a ton of it.
But the basic idea is that white vision is meant to be the original vision.
He's also basically stark tech.
That's why he's supposed to return in armor wars.
He's basically like Tony Stark's other child.
They might bring Justin Hammer Back is another villain during the movie,
but I'm also expecting them to introduce some other larger characters who weren't
in the original Armor Wars comics story, but are Iron Man based villains.
The last armor
that we saw Iron Man wearing during Avengers Endgame was his Mark 85.
Remember that His Infinity War armor was his mark 50.
So the idea is that during the five year time jump, he created 35
new armor suits that we only saw one of on screen.
There are 34 that they just jumped over and never showed us.
There wasn't concept art that they released for his armory
that we were meant to see during Infinity War.
But it sounds like they deleted that scene
early in the process and just decided to skip it.
We don't need to explain what happened to all those armors.
They'll cover that in some other movie.
And now we're getting that other movie.
They'll probably also introduce some other prototype armors
that he would have worn had he survived Avengers Endgame,
like newer experimental armor intact that he designed but hadn't worn yet.
But the idea is that during the five year time jump,
even though they made it seem like he'd permanently retired
at least briefly, from The Avengers, he continued to create new armors.
That's where the pepper Pops armor came from.
Like he designed that while he was designing these other 35 armors
until the events of Spider-Man No Way Home with Dr.
Strange's two spells making everyone forget Peter Parker was Spider-Man.
Technically, he'd actually
given Spider-Man controller access to most of that tech with Edith.
But the second spell wiping everyone's minds, making them forget
Peter Parker was Spider-Man, also undid some of that stuff.
So in the new post, Spider-Man No Way Home Timeline also posts
Loki with the multiverse
going crazy with everything spinning up to Kang Dynasty and the Council of Kings.
The new back story
on Earth, at least, is the damage control is now the tool of the government,
which is really under the control of Thunderbolt
Ross, who's going to become the President
of the United States, and Val, a lot of shadier people in there co-opting
all this stark tech like you saw during Spider-Man,
no way home with them taking control of a lot of stark tech.
So don't be surprised if damage control winds up being one of the villains
during the Armor Wars series.
In fact, during the original comic book Armor Wars, the U.S.
government actually uses some stolen stark tech to create their own armor
suit, iron monger styled
like a real big one called Firepower, which Iron Man winds up having to destroy.
So you can see how Thunderbolt, Ross and valor
eventually lead to a lot of this bad stuff happening during armor wars.
In the same way that sword kind of became backdoor villains
during the Wandavision series.
All these people within those organizations,
they kind of got into this during the Ms..
Marvel series.
Damage control was using the stark tech drones, the Edith The drones.
They just repainted them to look a little bit different,
but they were meant to be the same drones
going after regular citizens instead of just regular criminals.
Basically, The idea is that during Marvel Phase five
Thunderbolt, Ross eventually becomes President of the United States.
Val is now in charge of the CIA in they're using it to turn the United States
into something more akin to a police state
in paying off that line from Avengers Age of Ultron, where Iron Man
said, I would like to wrap that world in a suit of armor.
The whole idea that Iron Man had become paranoid and he wanted to over
protect the world at the cost of everyone's personal freedoms.
In our thunderbolt, Ross and Val are just actually doing that.
So they do bring Justin Hammer back during the Armor Wars series.
They can just say that he's actually working for Thunderbolt,
Ross and Val, and things start to go crazy with the armors going out of control,
Ultron being released again.
There are reports that Robert Downey Jr is supposed to come back
as a version of Iron Man, but not as the original 616 Iron
Man that died during Avengers Endgame.
The rumor is that he's actually going
to be a version of that 838 universe Iron Man, the alternate superior
Iron Man that we didn't see during Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness.
There were all those Tom Cruise rumors at the time,
but now the report is they're just going to use Robert Downey
Jr as a version of that alternate Iron Man in different movies.
But I don't know which movie they're going to bring him back in
in when he comes back.
The whole idea is that
they'll just be looking for revenge for the death of the Illuminati.
So to be Robert Downey Jr playing a twist on Iron Man
in that he's seeking revenge against our normal Avengers characters,
even though technically
Scarlet Witch is the one to blame for the death of all those Illuminati.
The Armor War series is supposed to come after Avengers Kang Dynasty.
It sounds like the way they're going to plot this out
is that they're going to do things like Infinity War
and then Ant-Man and the WASP.
If you remember, Amon and the WASP came out right after the snap,
but they just said that most of the movie took place before the events of the snap,
and they did the snap during one of the Post-Credits scenes
where the timeline caught up.
Right now, I'm assuming most of the movies in the Disney Plus series
that come between Avengers five and Avengers six will be like that.
Like they'll have a post-credits scene where
the timeline catches up in all of reality, just collapses around them.
But if you've any of the questions about what's going on with Robert Downey
Jr coming back as a version of Iron Man or the Armor Wars movie,
just write them below in the comments.
