Who Are The Villains Of Armor Wars?
Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has been seen throughout the events of the fourth and fifth phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only has she been creating her own team, but she has been spreading menace wherever she goes. Louis-Dreyfus would be reprising her role in Armor Wars. Moreover, her character will be given more depth and fans will finally get to learn more about who she is and what she wants.
Although it has not been confirmed, there is also speculation that Justin Hammer to make an appearance in the movie as well. Sam Rockwell might also be reprising his role. He is said to be working hand in hand with Fontaine. Armor Wars is a project in the making for years now and the patience both the studios and the fans have shown is incredible. It is also said that Dominique Thorne, the actress who played Riri Williams in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, could also be coming back as Ironheart.
Armor Wars Could See More Delays
Although Armor Wars saw so many delays since it was announced, the potential date it has now got will make sure it follows right after the release of Fantastic Four. No matter how many more delays the movie faces, that is one change that will not be occurring. However, because of the ongoing writers’ strike, there is a high chance to see quite a few changes and delays for the project according to how long it goes on.
The Department of Damage Control, or the D.O.D.C. has been rather active since the events of Avengers and Armor Wars will be showcasing just how dangerous it can get if Tony Stark’s precious technology goes into the wrong hands. Furthermore, it will also be dealing with how Don Cheadle’s James Rhodey handles the entire situation. Interestingly enough, Samuel L. Jackson’s Secret Invasion also directly influences the events of the movie. War Machine will be seen facing an entire army of Iron Man suits. The topic of how Stark’s technology fell into the wrong hands has previously been discussed but not on a scale the fans had been hoping for and this movie provides that.
Armor Wars will be available to watch in theatres from 25th July 2025.
