Marvel Studios I know a lot of the time the action sequences are very CGI. Are you still employed by the government or are you completely freelance? We don’t really talk about it in too much detail in this film. Where he does come up again – even more than in this one – that question of, can you remain loyal to the sort of chain of command, and the way that you are used to thinking that authority should work, when you are up against circumstances that challenge that in a way that you didn’t anticipate? So following that letter of the law, is that applicable in every situation? In Iron Man 3 you were still very much an employee of the government. I think it would be interesting to see the very question that you brought up, pushed a little more. Has there ever been any talk about that? I think you’re entitled to your own movie by now… That’s an interesting position because you’re an important character – there’s only so many superheroes in this whole universe – and you’re the outsider. ![]() Yeah, he’s like, was that worth it? Is that right? In Avengers: Age of Ultron it was kind of a joke that you were a little bit on the outside. Marvel Studios At the end of the movie you’re in a bad place. I think that this is the first time we’ve seen this question of, am I on the right side? It happens late, but he is saying… I don’t know what’s in there because I haven’t seen the movie, but I know that went in there at the end. You know I mean? That’s sort of what he’s matriculating into. Well, I think that the conflict for Rhodes in this one is coming. What does that do for you as an actor? Do you wish you had more conflict or is it kind of a safe zone? Right, that he doesn’t have that much! He’s not struggling with that, that much. That is an interesting place to take a movie that is essentially about moral questioning. He’s an interesting character in this context because unlike a lot of the heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Rhodes knows what he stands for at the beginning of the film. No, I became familiar with him once I knew it was in the works, and I asked my daughter and she’s like, “Okay, let me tell you about the whole Marvel Universe.” She knew it all so she kind of told me everything and yeah, it’s been interesting, this journey. Was James Rhodes a character that you were familiar with beforehand? They just said that it’s a long commitment and ultimately we decided okay, let’s take a flight. And they said, “Well, take an hour.” And I said, “I’m at my kid’s birthday party.” They said, “Then take two hours.” So in two hours I had to try to figure out… and we didn’t really know what it was going to be. They called and said “We’re going to be recasting this part, are you interested?” I said, “Yeah I guess I’m interested,” and they said, “Okay it’s six, seven movies” and then I had to try to do the math and go… what does that mean? If that’s one movie even every two years, which it probably won’t be but if it is, then that’s 14 years that I’m committing to right now. Marvel Studios CraveOnline: When you signed on to play War Machine, was this where you expected the franchise to go, in terms of your character and the amount of screen time you would have? Is this what you talked about initially?ĭon Cheadle: All we really initially talked about, to be honest, was me being a part of it.
