Daniel RPK shares an update on Armor Wars : “The Armor Wars script is being rewritten due to the backlash to Secret Invasion. The story will be entirely different from the original pitch. The film was originally supposed to release this year, but it will now be released after Secret Wars"
Following Alex's tease about the Armor Wars project on his Discord back in November and December, Daniel RPK in his latest Patreon session says :
“The Armor Wars script is being rewritten due to the backlash to Secret Invasion. The story will be entirely different from the original pitch. The film was originally supposed to release this year, but it will now be released after Secret Wars.
Adding the below Q&A for context. Alex provided the below answers (to questions on Armor Wars) on his Discord late last year.
Alex's November Tease
SHADOWZ : Is Armor Wars cancelled?
Alex Perez : No. It really isn’t. I understand the skepticism with it, but much like Blade, Marvel Studios wants to get it right and wants to make sure it not only delivers a story worthy of one of the MCU’s longest running characters, but also fits in the current storyline of the MCU. One of the things I love the most about it is that while RDJ is not really involved in this project at all, the legacy Tony Stark left behind will be put under a magnifying glass and examined from top to bottom, and how his choices left ripple effects to those around him. But I also would like to take this opportunity to let you know that there is an Armor Wars storyline set during the Secret Wars 2015 comic event. So who knows if they use that story as inspiration for the movie?
Alex's December Tease
rapsfan : How’s the production going on the projects that are in “limbo”, like Blade and Armor Wars?
Alex Perez : Blade’s got more priority to push out at the moment as opposed to Armor Wars. Right now, they’re just looking to find a director to direct the project, but it’s going along better than it was previously. The story now has a modern time setting, but Lilith is still the main villain and she isn’t a one-and-done villain. Armor Wars hasn’t had any movement since I last spoke about it. There have been explorations of adapting the 2015 version of the Armor Wars comic run, but it really hasn’t moved on that much since.
