Following Marvel Studios' plans for Iron Man 3 in 2013, they have announced they are now planning a spin-off for film for the character's sidekick, War Machine. The studio also have plans to release Thor and Captain America in 2011, while The Avengers is set for 2012.
Pajiba.com is reporting that a pitch for a War Machine film has gone out to writers and an official announcement is expected to follow shortly.
In the comics, War Machine is the nickname of a second suit of armour created by Tony Stark that is used by his friend, Air Force Colonel James 'Rhodey' Rhodes.
Actor Don Cheadle has played the part in both Iron Man films, and is expected to reprise his role for both the The Avengers and the standalone film.
Oh good. Superhero movies are going to be just like superhero comic books. Keep throwing stuff up on the wall and see what will make money.
Looks like it would be a great excuse for showing characters flying through the air and blowing stuff up. What more do you need for a summer blockbuster movie?

I'd go see this because I love robotic suits flying around but I'm about as excited for a War Machine movie as I am a War Machine comic -- not really. Some characters just work better in a supporting role.
♫ James Rhodes makes you feel He’s a tough marine with a heart of steel. As War Machine, minigun ablaze, He’s fighting and smiting with a plasma blade! Amazing armor! That’s War Machine! A blazing power! That’s War Machine! ♪
Speaking of bad journalism, has anyone pointed out that Don Cheadle didn't play Rhodey in the first Iron Man movie? Only the second? There's some bad journalisms right there, boy.
