In a recent interview Armor Wars writer Yassir Lester is very calm about the decision to retool his TV series into a movie. Of course there will have to be a lot of the material left behind. There’s no other way to make the story work as a film. However, Lester just views it as part of the process going on at Marvel Studios.
Speaking with ComicBook.com Lester said;
“I think that, like, Marvel is constantly in a state of, like, ‘What is the most interesting?’ And I … honestly believe some of their films should have been series and some of their series should have been films,” Yassir Lester explained. “And I think that they’re taking that more into account, giving that a little bit more thought now.”
‘On a technical level, Yassir claims that there’s been no massive creative disruption by turning Armor Wars from a TV series into a movie, “As long as they haven’t started shooting it yet, it’s kind of like, who cares?” That said, Yassir Lester did admit that “I think that the story that I told is a very fun series.”’

‘“Given like with Secret Invasion – all these other things [like] the way Rhodey’s story needs to fit into the bigger universe. There is a quicker version that kind of propels him back into the story a little bit quicker. As opposed to a meditation on who the character is,” Lester explained.’
At current we have zero idea when Armor Wars may film, or release. However, like Blade it does seem like it is happening, eventually. Just not before the end of the Multiverse Saga. However, who knows for sure? Until any projects starts filming, you can’t guarantee it will not get cancelled.
