You know I was just thinking there isn't enough Simpsons content out there. Nearly 1000 episodes just isn't enough.

I unsarcastically agree.

The Simpsons has a total time of 300 hrs and the MCU 400, according to Google.
IllConsideration86422025-09-29 23:11
400 hours??? jfc
CollinsCouldveDucked2025-09-29 23:34
how many hours of that is agents of shield?
MoistTubes2025-09-29 23:47
Google says 87 hrs and 13 mins.
ItsADeparture2025-09-30 06:50
So really the MCU has 218 hours of content lol.
MoistTubes2025-09-30 11:42
Eh. If the DPandW can be considered an "MCU" film, then AoS can be included too. DP was only in the main timeline for a few minutes talking to Happy.
Brilliant-Whole-18522025-09-30 00:43
it sounds weird but i'm actually surprised that the simpsons isn't higher, 400 hours is insane though
Dan_Of_Time2025-09-29 22:31
The MCU total runtime is like double that of the Simpsons.
DefVanJoviAero2025-09-29 22:34
Especially if you count the pre- Marvel Studios TV shows, since the Defenders shows are def confirmed canon now.
your_mind_aches2025-09-29 23:40
I mean yeah but those are all different properties. The MCU isn't just one show, it's 37 movies and 22 TV shows.
It's like comparing One Piece and its expanded media to all of Image Comics. There might be about the same amount, but Image has more variety in what it is you're reading.

JtheIrishNerd42025-09-29 21:50
It's a shame to lose another potential Marvel movie. There's so many characters that haven't gotten Sequels and there's so many lose plot threads and lack of connectivity.
Feels like Marvel have made the decision to get through the next couple years with the Avengers movies and Spidey and maybe one more established hero, and then launch into Phase 7 with the X-Men and bring back all their other big hitters in a soft Reboot.
I'd love to see them try redeem the Eternals or give Shang Chi a second solo outing, but im not opposed to them buying some time to really map out the next few years and get a cohesive plan laid out for the next Saga that avoids the dangling threads and lack of connectivity we've seen since Endgame.
LADYBIRD_HILL2025-09-29 22:27
It's absolutely baffling that Shang Chi never got a sequel after how well received the first one was and how Simu is super passionate about the character. He was great in Marvel Zombies.
JtheIrishNerd42025-09-29 22:37
Totally agree on this but I think Marvel tried to introduce too many characters too quickly to find what would stick and then didn't have the scope or space to keep building the characters.
Watching Marvel Zombies made me realise how sorely we lacked consistent appearances and relationship building in Phase 4 and 5. The interactions between Riri, Kamala and Kate were so much fun and we've had nothing like that in the last few years. That's the kind of thing that made the Infinity Saga so successful.
KrifeH2025-09-29 23:34
I think Zombies was supposed to come out after Young Avengers
RubiconPizzaDelivery2025-09-30 00:23
Same, Young Avengers I think is their second most fucked project behind Blade in regards to "when we wanna do it" vs "when it's happening."
Rman8232025-09-29 22:49
I believe he was fully meant to have a sequel by now but said sequel was to tie in the rings with Kang and lead into Kang Dynasty so after the Majors pivot, it put his sequel on the back burner.
CaptHayfever2025-09-29 23:14
The sequel is greenlit. Buncha stuff happened. It can still come later.
Silo-Joe2025-09-30 00:10
My guess is because Shang Chi wasn't able to get distribution in China.
TargaryenKnight2025-09-30 00:43
It’s cause china will boycott any movie he is a lead in, he spoke up about their abusive government and they single Handedly stole a sequel from us, I loved Shang chi it was great
MBCnerdcore2025-09-30 03:24
It was completely the fault of COVID and Jonathan Majors. Shang Chi's director is still planning to make SC2 after Spider-Man BND.
jordanrhys2025-09-29 23:01
Movies take too long to make to “take their time”. You’re going to lose out on actors and actresses due to scheduling conflicts and no one wanting to wait 5+ for their sequel.
Paolo942025-09-30 00:01
The lack of follow-ups and sequels post-Endgame is so baffling. It’s insane how many fan favorite characters, both new and old, have been benched, leaving us with so many dangling plot threads and unanswered questions, some of which may very likely never be answered. Phases 4 and 5 severely lacked a stable of franchise regulars like the OG Avengers, to really ground and anchor the narrative.
The story is so sprawling and all over the place now, without a single character having stepped up to rival the likes of Steve or Tony (sorry Sam). We need to be establishing a new cast of core characters, instead of continuing to introduce dozens of new characters, and giving solo projects to characters like Echo and Ironheart, which nobody asked for. Doomsday is only a year away, yet most projects feel only tangentially related to one another. It’ll be a miracle if the Russo brothers can tie together all these disparate plot threads in a way that is anywhere near as satisfying as Infinity War and Endgame.
PhotoBonjour_bombs192025-09-30 01:57
[Nando](https://youtu.be/KI5Sn9RlAuo?si=GsULzIFJlZoOnaBZ) made a video about delaying doomsday for a few years and giving the mcu a few projects before doomsday which I wholeheartedly agree with
NervousAd32022025-09-30 02:43
I wonder how they’ll manage to bring back the heavy hitters from the Infinity Saga without it feeling like that saga doesn’t matter anymore.
I like the idea of a new jumping on point for the MCU but I don’t think casuals/general audiences are gonna like the idea of the biggest cinematic achievement of all time not really being canon moving forward.
____mynameis____2025-09-30 20:37
Tbf, I think they overdid sequels for some characters and didn't do it for characters that needed.
Like I don't know if we needed AM3 or Thor 4. Should have gotten DS3 and Shang Chi 2 instead.
SeekerVash2025-09-29 21:51
That's not at all a good sign.
This far out, it means something they intended to make that had a script, is now cut.
Single-Pianist-22112025-09-29 22:02
I think the plan was Dr Strange 3 and they decided that, rather than needing a whole movie to explain how he and Clea end up siding with Doom, they’re just gonna have it happen off screen
-Darkslayer2025-09-29 22:07
So beyond lame. Only 1 movie in 2027, and tying up a post credit tease off screen. They really butchered this saga. Frustrating too as the initial storyline laid out in Loki was really promising
AgentP202025-09-29 22:14
You are going off of speculation.
eagc72025-09-29 22:46
You can easily tie that up in Secret Wars
Tyrannosapien2025-09-29 22:07
Well, good then. I don't want any more movies made to improve the story of another movie.
You can build lore and continuity into already good movies. You can't make a good movie out of just lore.
LADYBIRD_HILL2025-09-29 22:29
Ant-Man and the Wasp explains how Scott ended up in the quantum realm and was MIA during Infinity War + led to the time travel in Endgame. There's no reason we can't have DS3 be a companion to the avengers movies.
Tyrannosapien2025-09-29 23:01
There is one reason that we can't, that is the point of my comment: if no one working for Marvel can write an interesting, compelling script for the movie. If I have to watch DS movie that's "as good as Ant Man & the Wasp" because it sets up an Avengers movie, I'm gonna be pissed. And Disney's gonna sit there and watch it lose money, because it's clear the audiences are over this approach.
CaptHayfever2025-09-29 23:18
Worth noting: SeekerVash is making an assumption without evidence but stating it as fact. We *don't know* that whatever movie would've been there has been cut. It could just be delayed until after Secret Wars.
WithArsenicSauce2025-09-29 22:16
This is after Doomsday though
Single-Pianist-22112025-09-29 22:49
Yeah I think Dr strange and clea siding with doom is gonna be a surprise either at the very end of doomsday or mid credits scene
GranolaCola2025-09-29 22:52
Is Strange working with Doom something we actually know?
Single-Pianist-22112025-09-29 22:52
It’s very likely since that’s what happens in the comics and it’s pretty famous
GranolaCola2025-09-29 22:53
2015 Secret Wars, not the original, correct?
Jrod121555552025-09-29 23:00
No it’s just a theory. We only have concept art but even then we have no real info on characters motivations or things that’ll happen in the movie

It will have, in fact, been exactly 20 years by the time it's released. The original released in July, 2007.

maverickbluezero2025-09-29 22:16
sadly true.
CaptHayfever2025-09-29 23:13
If Blade is dead, then inability to agree on a direction for it was the cause.
If Armor Wars is dead, then Secret Invasion was the cause.
ScuzzBuckster2025-09-29 23:43
Armor Wars I can understand struggling to come up with a suitable idea. Its just kind of a hodgepodge of iron man-adjacent characters, it seems like a tough egg to crack.
Blade though?? I really struggle to understand what is so difficult about coming to a creative decision on him. He's immortal, he's half-vampire, he's really fucking cool. Literally just a movie of Blade aura farming and cutting down vampires and other supernatural threats would be enough to make people happy. He's not a difficult character to figure out.
CaptHayfever2025-09-29 23:44
I think the big thing was that they didn't wanna just do the original movies again, because then people would say "I could just watch the original movies".
PM_me_dimples_now2025-09-29 23:46
We are talking about a franchise owned by Disney, which spent the last decade on unnecessary remakes
YourInMySwamp2025-09-30 02:14
Hell I wouldn’t even mind them actually remaking the original movie
CaleBoi252025-09-30 00:33
And it's not like they are against doing that with him - see MZ for proof lol!
Adorable_Ad_34782025-09-30 04:47
The rumor was that Ali wanted a Black Panther-like cultural event film that would transcend superhero films.
But Blade is just not that character; Blade is not that deep, never has been, never will be. Thus, the creative clashes.
ILoveRegenHealth2025-09-30 10:31
>The rumor was that Ali wanted a Black Panther-like cultural event film that would transcend superhero films.
Man, I respect him as an actor greatly, but if this is true, he really should not have overstepped it when they haven't even made the film yet. Was he trying to make it more "serious & artsy"? We saw what happened with Eternals (which I still kind of liked, but the mainstream were mixed on it, and no sequel is getting made).
Again, if that rumor is true, Ali should have let them make their first Blade movie, and if successful, they can always have the space to course correct a little (like Thor Ragnarok did, or Winter Soldier). Now, there's no movie to even course correct or watch at all!
MoistTubes2025-09-30 11:46
So basically, Ali was trying to ice skate uphill.
Riley__642025-09-30 05:29
I don’t think armour wars would’ve been too hard to figure out I think the bigger issue is how long it took to come out.
From what we initially heard the plot was iron man’s tech falling into the wrong hands, so it likely would’ve been set not long after the events of endgame in a world that’s freshly lost Tony stark and some company swooping in to claim or steal his tech and abuse it for their own personal gain.
But with endgame taking place in 2023 and the current MCU timeline being set in 2027 - 2028 it’s kinda hard to tell that plot line because that’s quite a long time since Tony’s death that his tech has finally been stolen. Then you couldn’t really do the another person perfects Tony starks tech angle because that’s quite was already done with Ironheart and reusing that plot line would just feel like here’s Ironheart but this time evil.
UnhingedHippie2025-09-30 07:11
One thing I feel we all forget is that there are still things going on behind the scenes. I often entertain the thought that Pepper was ousted or retired after Endgame and Stark Industries went back to weapons secretly. The new CEO comes in and wants to build the Iron Man suit for the highest bidder but is locked out of all Iron Man related files. It then takes him 1-2 years to crack the security and now he can make as many Iron Man suits as he wants. This is where Rhodey comes in. Soon, there is a variety of terrorist threats all with mech suits rivaling Tony’s older designs but more lethal. Rhodey then needs to figure out where they are coming from but is thrown off track because the new CEO is hiding behind the “energy” business. It ends with Rhodey fighting the CEO who hires Ezekiel Stane to make a much more dangerous version of the Iron Monger suit and ends with Rhodey killing him with the Arc Reactor.

>Literally just a movie of Blade aura farming and cutting down vampires and other supernatural threats would be enough to make people happy. He's not a difficult character to figure out.
After watching Marvel Zombies I have to somehow fucking agree with their executives.
A: It's not worth it for Oscar winner Ali to do just what Snipes did now that movie like Sinners exists ~~(minus the part he signed up for Jurassic World: Rebirth)~~ and B: comic book writer or not, Zeb Wells has been abysmal since Hellion.
bolerobell2025-09-30 01:23
I definitely get your point about Blade. The Wesley Snipes version and style is so good, you could basically just do that again with some temporal updates and it would make $700mm.
Armor Wars though I don’t think is that hard to crack: in the comic original, Tomy Stark discovers that many villains are using his tech and that hurt him spiritually, so he figures out a way to disable it. Then in the middle of all that, he discovers that many good armored people are also using stolen tech, so he starts pursuing them too, including some government agents. Government ultimately decides they can’t trust Stark anymore so they make a bigger armor guy to take him down. Stark plays dead, creates a better iron man armor and defeats the new government run guy (who is secretly bad because Justin Hammer). Marvel used it as an excuse to get rid of his 10 year old red and silver armor and get back to red and gold.
For the movie, god most of the elements have already been setup. Stark created nano tech for Infinity War. Bits of it were left all over NYC. Bad guys get it and develop super suits. Damage Control as well, and they develop government run super suits. Rhodey is sad and mad that Tony’s last tech innovation is now being used by baddies, so he works with some one to develop a system to nullify the Stark-Nanites. Maybe Spider-Man. Maybe Ironheart. Maybe Black Panther. He goes after bad guys. Discovers good guys and government have it too. Goes after good guys and (gasp) the US military to nullify all this stolen stark tech. He has a real crisis of faith in the US Government. Throw in some skrulls mistrust and Rhodey decides they all must get deactivated. Government creates a super armor guy and Rhodey has to upgrade his War Machine armor with the Stark nanotech to defeat him, and has his own IM2 moment: you don’t own me but I’ll defend the country/planet.
Then Don Cheadle can decide if he wants to play Warmachine again in a proper War Machine movie for a $20mm payoff.
Yeshavesome4202025-09-30 02:28
Not just nanotech, but the weird hybrid versions they come up with that eventually become part of the all-new and improved Iron Patriot Armor.
Hell. Introduce and Oscorp and you've got a knock out.
luvu3330002025-09-30 03:15
It's good but think from the studio's perspective. When was the last time a don cheadle led movie became a blockbuster. He's already 60. It's mcu but still milking Stark's legacy 8years after seems too much even for them. It'd would've worked around FFH times or if covid didn't happen
memsterboi1232025-09-30 02:49
Iirc armor wars was originally supposed to be before iron heart and that would have still been before secret invasion. Then after the reschedule again I believe it followed iron heart but still before secret invasion. If anything whoever made the comment on Rhodey being swapped out at civil war killed it if it was because of secret invasion.
Adorable_Ad_34782025-09-30 04:42
Armor Wars started as a TV Show. It was deemed too expensive for TV, so it was meant to be re-imagined as a film.
But then the Marvel execs likely realized it would have flopped, so they decided to shelve it. Don Cheadle by himself is not a box office draw. War Machine by himself is not a box office draw.
I bet plot points from Armor Wars will be used for the next Iron Man reboot film in the 2030s.
Jaideco2025-09-29 22:44
You are 100% correct there…
I’m a little disappointed but at least this puts an end to the speculation.
KhaLe182025-09-30 00:03
I doubt they'll want to put anything in October considering Batman has that
Ambitious-Ad-48312025-09-30 02:51
We can say for certain that phase 6 is a huge disappointment. Almost no projects...
Adorable_Ad_34782025-09-30 04:36
The only confirmed films for Phase 7 are X-Men and Coogler's Black Panther film (which might not be BP3 but a reboot with T'Challa).
Everything else is in flux, nothing else has a director attached.
ILoveRegenHealth2025-09-30 10:28
>no Shang-Chi 2, etc until the next saga
I feel so bad for Simu Liu. That ain't right how a crowd-pleaser like Shang-Chi gets no sequel, and the most he gets to do in the MCU is in this year's Marvel Zombies.
N8CCRG2025-09-30 14:00
It's so wild that they abandoned sequels and follow-up.
Prior to Infinity War:
* 3 Iron Man movies
* 3 Captain America movies (and Civil War was borderline an Avengers teamup)
* 3 Thor movies
* 2 Avengers movies
* 2 Guardians movies
* lots of characters with major appearances in other projects (e.g. Hulk in Ragnarok)
Prior to Doomsday we'll have:
* 2 Spider-Man movies
* Thunderbolts
* Strange was in No Way Home
And that's it. No other in-saga sequels. No other major appearances of major characters in other movies.

DaRealHighMay2025-09-29 22:35
Okay why is everyone here assuming they canceled a movie? There was no in between movie being made. We know the movies currently in or going into production: Spider-Man, Doomsday and Secret Wars. That was just a placeholder date for potential scheduling changes, like a delay.
eagc72025-09-29 22:53
I mean part of the thing is that alot of people were hoping that there was gonna be a movie that laid more groundwork for Secret Wars or at least tie some plot threads from this saga before it ended. Or at the very least gotten a sequel to one of the Phase 4-5 characters even if it wasn't tied to SW.
Like some were hoping it would be Dr. Strange 3 so they could tie up the ending of that film in a proper sequel and maybe use DS3 as some sort of "Time Runs Out" adaptation in the lead up to SW as an example.
Cause if you seen the fans here and other sites, they think Marvel is "rushing" Doomsday and SW and they reaaaaaaallly wanted Marvel to add extra movies to build towards them
moose_dad2025-09-30 01:20
Which i think is kind of crazy that people thought a film with no planning behind it that hadnt started would still be able to make that date.
Dyssomniac2025-09-29 23:29
I think people are saying so because they were hoping for a last chance to tie things together more coherently before Secret Wars.
eagc72025-09-29 23:37
Yeah it boils down to that, i even saw a comment elsewhere someone said that if we won't get an extra film then Marvel has to spilt Secret Wars into two.
Notoriously_So2025-09-29 22:40
Real bummer if it was Shang-Chi 2, but the director is working on Brand New Day, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. Even worse if this was the Blade movie that has been in development hell for years and years.
ChaoticCaptain1772025-09-29 22:47
Either that mystery marvel movie is getting pushed back to another date or it's not happening at all

Yeah as while Disney did announced a bunch of dates for extra MCU films over time, they never said they were gonna do Shang-Chi 2 in one of those dates, we only knew a Shang-Chi 2 was gonna happen someday, but we were never promised it would release during this saga, they never said we would get a Doctor Strange 3 during this saga, they never said Thor 5 would be part of this saga and so on.
The only new addition to Phase 6 was Spider-Man, but that's it, when they announced Phase 6 back in 2022, it was just Fantastic Four and the Avengers films and lo and behold those are the only films we are getting, so this is pretty much the slate Feige gave us back in 2022, anything else is gonna be TV shows

At this point I’m convinced Blade will never release.
EpicMarioGamer2025-09-29 22:54
Never trust any date for a Marvel movie unless it’s already been tied to a specific movie.
darthyogi2025-09-29 23:01
You didn’t believe me when i said there would be no other MCU movies in 2027
AlmightyLoaf542025-09-29 23:05
Looks like Secret Wars is the only MCU film releasing in 2027!
cowpool202025-09-29 23:17
The Simpsons IS the Marvel movie.
RihoSucks2025-09-29 23:35
I know this is a marvel sub but as someone who was watching the simpsons at day 1 and quit over 20 years ago who the hell is the market for a simpsons movie in 2027?!?
Randolpho2025-09-29 23:54
Me: Since when does Disney own Simpsons?
Also me: oh yeah, they bought Fox and literally everything else
throwtheclownaway202025-09-30 00:34
It was Blade, wasn't it?
eagc72025-09-30 00:41
They never told us what film they were looking at releasing in that date
AnakinsAngstFace2025-09-30 00:44
Unless ~~Stretch Boy and Clobber Girl~~ the Simpson family is the new avengers team or something

Not that it was ever gonna happen but i loved having delusions of a scarlet witch movie between the 2 avengers movies. Now that's down the drain🙂
AsterArtworks2025-09-30 03:28
This could be the loud people in the back calling even good marvel movies bad which might make newer properties less likely.
blackbutterfree2025-09-30 03:45
Thank God, I've been wanting another Simpsons movie for years. They need to get on it while we still have the original cast. They've been at this for 37 years, it's only a matter of time before they either start recasting or shut the whole thing down.

When Bob and Kevin mentioned that they were slowing down, they weren't kidding
Only 2 MCU films in 2026 and then only Secret Wars in 2027 is bold
coolgaara2025-09-30 20:03
Blade is fucking dead. I've lost all hope of that movie ever coming out.

It's like comparing One Piece and its expanded media to all of Image Comics. There might be about the same amount, but Image has more variety in what it is you're reading.
Feels like Marvel have made the decision to get through the next couple years with the Avengers movies and Spidey and maybe one more established hero, and then launch into Phase 7 with the X-Men and bring back all their other big hitters in a soft Reboot.
I'd love to see them try redeem the Eternals or give Shang Chi a second solo outing, but im not opposed to them buying some time to really map out the next few years and get a cohesive plan laid out for the next Saga that avoids the dangling threads and lack of connectivity we've seen since Endgame.
Watching Marvel Zombies made me realise how sorely we lacked consistent appearances and relationship building in Phase 4 and 5. The interactions between Riri, Kamala and Kate were so much fun and we've had nothing like that in the last few years. That's the kind of thing that made the Infinity Saga so successful.
The story is so sprawling and all over the place now, without a single character having stepped up to rival the likes of Steve or Tony (sorry Sam). We need to be establishing a new cast of core characters, instead of continuing to introduce dozens of new characters, and giving solo projects to characters like Echo and Ironheart, which nobody asked for. Doomsday is only a year away, yet most projects feel only tangentially related to one another. It’ll be a miracle if the Russo brothers can tie together all these disparate plot threads in a way that is anywhere near as satisfying as Infinity War and Endgame.
I like the idea of a new jumping on point for the MCU but I don’t think casuals/general audiences are gonna like the idea of the biggest cinematic achievement of all time not really being canon moving forward.
Like I don't know if we needed AM3 or Thor 4. Should have gotten DS3 and Shang Chi 2 instead.
This far out, it means something they intended to make that had a script, is now cut.
You can build lore and continuity into already good movies. You can't make a good movie out of just lore.
"I will not wait 20 years to make another movie".
It will have, in fact, been exactly 20 years by the time it's released. The original released in July, 2007.
Or am I reading this too deep
This sentence is a hate crime.
Just exactly what we needed. More kicking the Simpson horse
If Armor Wars is dead, then Secret Invasion was the cause.
Blade though?? I really struggle to understand what is so difficult about coming to a creative decision on him. He's immortal, he's half-vampire, he's really fucking cool. Literally just a movie of Blade aura farming and cutting down vampires and other supernatural threats would be enough to make people happy. He's not a difficult character to figure out.
But Blade is just not that character; Blade is not that deep, never has been, never will be. Thus, the creative clashes.
Man, I respect him as an actor greatly, but if this is true, he really should not have overstepped it when they haven't even made the film yet. Was he trying to make it more "serious & artsy"? We saw what happened with Eternals (which I still kind of liked, but the mainstream were mixed on it, and no sequel is getting made).
Again, if that rumor is true, Ali should have let them make their first Blade movie, and if successful, they can always have the space to course correct a little (like Thor Ragnarok did, or Winter Soldier). Now, there's no movie to even course correct or watch at all!
From what we initially heard the plot was iron man’s tech falling into the wrong hands, so it likely would’ve been set not long after the events of endgame in a world that’s freshly lost Tony stark and some company swooping in to claim or steal his tech and abuse it for their own personal gain.
But with endgame taking place in 2023 and the current MCU timeline being set in 2027 - 2028 it’s kinda hard to tell that plot line because that’s quite a long time since Tony’s death that his tech has finally been stolen. Then you couldn’t really do the another person perfects Tony starks tech angle because that’s quite was already done with Ironheart and reusing that plot line would just feel like here’s Ironheart but this time evil.

After watching Marvel Zombies I have to somehow fucking agree with their executives.
A: It's not worth it for Oscar winner Ali to do just what Snipes did now that movie like Sinners exists ~~(minus the part he signed up for Jurassic World: Rebirth)~~ and B: comic book writer or not, Zeb Wells has been abysmal since Hellion.
Armor Wars though I don’t think is that hard to crack: in the comic original, Tomy Stark discovers that many villains are using his tech and that hurt him spiritually, so he figures out a way to disable it. Then in the middle of all that, he discovers that many good armored people are also using stolen tech, so he starts pursuing them too, including some government agents. Government ultimately decides they can’t trust Stark anymore so they make a bigger armor guy to take him down. Stark plays dead, creates a better iron man armor and defeats the new government run guy (who is secretly bad because Justin Hammer). Marvel used it as an excuse to get rid of his 10 year old red and silver armor and get back to red and gold.
For the movie, god most of the elements have already been setup. Stark created nano tech for Infinity War. Bits of it were left all over NYC. Bad guys get it and develop super suits. Damage Control as well, and they develop government run super suits. Rhodey is sad and mad that Tony’s last tech innovation is now being used by baddies, so he works with some one to develop a system to nullify the Stark-Nanites. Maybe Spider-Man. Maybe Ironheart. Maybe Black Panther. He goes after bad guys. Discovers good guys and government have it too. Goes after good guys and (gasp) the US military to nullify all this stolen stark tech. He has a real crisis of faith in the US Government. Throw in some skrulls mistrust and Rhodey decides they all must get deactivated. Government creates a super armor guy and Rhodey has to upgrade his War Machine armor with the Stark nanotech to defeat him, and has his own IM2 moment: you don’t own me but I’ll defend the country/planet.
Then Don Cheadle can decide if he wants to play Warmachine again in a proper War Machine movie for a $20mm payoff.
Hell. Introduce and Oscorp and you've got a knock out.
But then the Marvel execs likely realized it would have flopped, so they decided to shelve it. Don Cheadle by himself is not a box office draw. War Machine by himself is not a box office draw.
I bet plot points from Armor Wars will be used for the next Iron Man reboot film in the 2030s.
I’m a little disappointed but at least this puts an end to the speculation.
Everything else is in flux, nothing else has a director attached.
I feel so bad for Simu Liu. That ain't right how a crowd-pleaser like Shang-Chi gets no sequel, and the most he gets to do in the MCU is in this year's Marvel Zombies.
Prior to Infinity War:
* 3 Iron Man movies
* 3 Captain America movies (and Civil War was borderline an Avengers teamup)
* 3 Thor movies
* 2 Avengers movies
* 2 Guardians movies
* lots of characters with major appearances in other projects (e.g. Hulk in Ragnarok)
Prior to Doomsday we'll have:
* 2 Spider-Man movies
* Thunderbolts
* Strange was in No Way Home
And that's it. No other in-saga sequels. No other major appearances of major characters in other movies.

Like some were hoping it would be Dr. Strange 3 so they could tie up the ending of that film in a proper sequel and maybe use DS3 as some sort of "Time Runs Out" adaptation in the lead up to SW as an example.
Cause if you seen the fans here and other sites, they think Marvel is "rushing" Doomsday and SW and they reaaaaaaallly wanted Marvel to add extra movies to build towards them
The only new addition to Phase 6 was Spider-Man, but that's it, when they announced Phase 6 back in 2022, it was just Fantastic Four and the Avengers films and lo and behold those are the only films we are getting, so this is pretty much the slate Feige gave us back in 2022, anything else is gonna be TV shows
