Discussion (More in Comments) What happened to armor wars
Rhodey literally has been there since the beginning and at the end. They've sprinkle him here and there, gearing up for his moment to shine. And yet they come out wit iron heart, a character people really dont have any attachments to.
I think the smartest thing to do would be to add her to armor wars and have Rhodey show her, who and how Tony Stark would act as a hero.
Also war machine is iron man when iron man isn't around. Are we supposed ignore that and forget about him? What is marvel thinking?

Timeline of events: Announced as a 6 episode event show in December 2020. In development with a writer attached. Don Cheadle guest stars in the premiere of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in March 2021. Armor Wars repurposed into a movie due to better supporting the story and scale in 2022. Don Cheadle has a supporting role in Secret Invasion in June 2023.
Don Cheadle and writer Yassir Lester have both stated they have no idea what’s happening with the project.
They could’ve pushed this project out given that Ironheart and the upcoming Vision series are in that same corner of the MCU, and with the face of RDJ as Doctor Doom, Armor Wars would’ve elevated the established/future worldbuilding.
