It’s been half a decade since Hammer had shown up on the big screen of any MCU project, but rumor has it he could be making a return.

According to insider Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), Rockwell is currently in talks to reprise Justin Hammer for the upcoming series-turned-movie Armor Wars. There aren’t any details besides Rockwell being in talks, but his return does make a lot of sense, seeing that Hammer was trying his best to create Iron Man armor alternatives—plus he was the person who modded the first War Machine suit for Rhodey.

Marvel’s What If…? fans also know that Rockwell just recently reprised the role of Justin Hammer this year; playing a variant of Hammer that takes over Avengers tower during Christmastime. It was just a voice role, but the writers still had fun with the character, what with his theatrical flair, dancing and making quips.

If anything, we should take the news of Rockwell’s return with a grain of salt, but with Marvel currently looking back at their more unique villains, Justin Hammer was definitely one of the more memorable ones. Let’s just hope that the appearance on What If leads to more things down the line. Would it be so hard to have Hammer be the Q of the Thunderbolts team?

Armor Wars is allegedly eyeing a release sometime in 2026 but has no official release date.

]]> Ironheart will Debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever https://www.geekfeed.com/ironheart-will-debut-in-black-panther-wakanda-forever/ Sun, 22 Aug 2021 10:10:41 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=61123 Dominique Thorne had been announced as the MCU’s Riri Williams a.k.a. Ironheart last December, and a lot of fans were wondering when she would make her debut. Rumors had come out that she would be appearing in the Armor Wars series, but it looks like we’ll be meeting this character by next year.

Talking to ComicBook, Marvel head Kevin Feige had announced that Thorne will be making her debut as Riri in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Feige says:

“We’re shooting Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, right now, and the character of Riri Williams, you will meet in Black Panther 2 first… She started shooting, I think, this week before her Ironheart series.”

With Shuri being touted as one of the smartest characters in the MCU, it would make sense that Riri should have some kind of connection. After all, she also has to prove that she’s worthy of the Iron Man mantle by constructing a suit of armor herself; then again, the MCU is free to take some liberties with the character.

I’m just hoping that the movie doesn’t lean in too hard on Vibranium being able to do whatever it needs to do. It’s a durable metal, it’s malleable, but it can also heal things—the rules are out the window. Part of what made Tony Stark so great is that he was able to make the first Iron Man suit “in a cave! With a bunch of scraps!” . Hopefully Riri can prove she has that same kind of mettle.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to come out on July 8, 2022.
