![]() 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. ![]() Of course, Cartoon Network and Transformers producer Don Murphy probably wouldn't want an R-rated Captain Planet adaptation, but anyone who grew up on the 80s cartoon hero would definitely love to see it happen in the future.Also: ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Review: Why We FightĪnd since we were already chit-chatting, we caught up with Don Cheadle about his plans for the future, his experiences directing the Miles Davis biopic Miles Ahead, his thoughts on past projects like Devil in a Blue Dress and Volcano, and the time a fan of his grabbed his crotch and asked, “Is it true?”Ĭaptain America: Civil War opens in theaters this week. ![]() Plus that dubstep song at the end is pretty engergizing. The production value is much better than the first video, Cheadle is great as usual and this video makes me wish for a Captain Planet adaptation in the same vein as MacGruber (after all, they both have great mullets). Here's Don Cheadle in Captain Planet 2 from Funny or Die: Even Captain Planet's loyal Planeteers ( Napoleon Dynamite star Effren Ramirez from the first video returns for a small part) are on his bad side. However, now that he's active again, Captain Planet has been getting a little carried away, turning anyone who hurts the environment into trees or animals. Over a year ago, after news that a live-action adaptation of Captain Planet was announced, Funny or Die went to work with Don Cheadle becoming the environmental hero who looks to take pollution down to zero. This one has been circulating for a couple weeks, but somehow it went under our radar.
