Don Cheadle explains how in Secret Invasion James 'Rhodey' Rhodes is very different from what audiences have seen as the President's right hand.
Don Cheadle teases a new look at James "Rhodey" Rhodes in Secret Invasion. Rhodey was first introduced as Tony Stark's close friend and military contact in Iron Man. However, throughout his time in the MCU, he has evolved, becoming War Machine and fighting with the Avengers.
During the Secret Invasion press conference, Cheadle alluded to a very different James "Rhodey" Rhodes. He described him as a "political animal" and discusses his new position working for the President. Cheadle expressed his excitement about exploring Rhodey and his relationship with Nick Fury further in Secret Invasion. Check out Cheadle's full quote below:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Don Cheadle: we're just kind of finding out what's happening with Rhodey as this series goes on. He's in a different role. We see him as more a political animal than we have in the past. He's been more of a military man, but now he's sort of in some ways, a right hand of the president and this special envoy, in that regard.
Secret Invasion Introduces a New Side of Rhodey Although Rhodey is one of the few remaining original MCU heroes, he hasn't been fleshed out as much as the other characters. Secret Invasion will show a new side of him as he has changed since the Blip and the loss of Tony Stark. This is not the same Rhodey that was introduced in the early phases of the MCU, having evolved into a powerful political player working directly with the President and not just in his capacity as War Machine.
Secret Invasion is also setting up Rhodey to be at the center of his own story in the upcoming Armor Wars movie. Setting up Rhodey as a powerful figure in politics could make his story more intriguing, especially if his own actions are tied to Tony Stark's technology falling into the wrong hands.
