Armor Wars is reportedly being turned into a movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios will now redevelop the upcoming Don Cheadle-led Disney+ series into a feature film, suitable for the big screen. The Marvel Cinematic Universe show was in early development, with the studio slated to begin production in 2023. But the move essentially dilutes the title of the MCU production program further. THR’s sources claim the change was made to tell the story “the right way”.

Yasir Lester, who served as producer and lead writer for the Armor Wars series, will continue to scribe the film adaptation. Currently, there is no word on the attached director for Armor Wars.

This won’t be the first production shake-up at Marvel Studios in recent days. Late Wednesday evening Bassam Tariq, the director of the upcoming Mahershala Ali-led blade The film confirmed his exit from the project. He will now serve as executive producer on a troubled MCU film whose schedule has reportedly changed several times. according to insider Jeff SnyderLead Ali is “disappointed” from the film – a screenplay that is only about 90 pages long, and contains two “weak” action sequences.
