Armor Wars Plot: What Will be the Plot of the Series?
There are still no confirmed plot details for Armor Wars. In an interview with Comicbook, Cheadle confirmed that Iron Man’s story arc inspires the series by David Michelinie and Bob Layton. It was 7-issue comic book series that was released from December 1987to June 1988, and was called Armor Wars. In this comic book arc, we see Tony Stary doing everything in his power to undo the damages of his Iron Man designs after the state-of-the-art technology fell into the wrong hands. Iron Man goes after all the armored supervillains who may have taken advantage of the stolen design, including Doctor Doom, Titanium Man, and Justin Hammer. Since Tony Stark has passed away in the MCU, his death may play a significant role in the new Armor Wars series. Marvel released an Armor Wars overview:
Iron Man May Return in Armor Wars
Because there have been few updates about the Armor Wars, there were rumors the movie was canceled, but this is apparently untrue. The Direct reported that the studio changed the premiere to streaming from theater exclusive and pivoted because they wanted to tell the story the right way. The cause for the change in direction encouraged a lot of theories, with the most prominent being Tony Starks return, not as a human but as an AI (le gasp!).
