New Secret Invasion Leak Teases Return Of Don Cheadle's War Machine

gamerant.com:

Secret Invasion is one of Marvel Studios' highly anticipated projects set to release on Disney Plus, and while details have been scarce, a new leak may confirm the return of Don Cheadle's James Rhodes/War Machine.

Cheadle first made his MCU debut in Marvel Studios' Iron Man 2, replacing Terrence Howard who portrayed the character in Iron Man. Cheadle would go on to reprise the role in six more MCU feature films and is now gearing up to star in his own series for Disney Plus.

Samuel L. Jackson's Posts Photo That Raises Questions For Secret Invasion

According to The Phils' recent Instagram post, anew behind-the-scenes Secret Invasion photo reveals filming has been continuing near Liverpool Street Station in London, U.K. The set appears to resemble the aftermath of some big apocalyptic event. What else stands out in the photo, other than Rogers: The Musical from Hawkeye will be featured, are prop newspapers scattered in the streets that show Cheadle's James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes on the front page greeting the MCU's new President of the United States.

Cheadle has already had a cameo appearance in last year's The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, which surprisingly earned him an Emmy nomination for Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series. While he gave Sam Wilson/Falcon some important advice in that series, his role was very brief. But in Secret Invasion, Rhodes could play a more crucial part, as the series will involve plenty of story elements involving politics and defense. On top of that, the series could provide a much-needed update as to where Rhodes is in his life ahead of his return in Armor Wars, a series that will center on Rhodes dealing with Stark tech falling into the wrong hands.

While it will be exciting to see Rhodes' return,
