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. It's been over two decades since Captain Planet was at the height of his popularity, so a movie is just the thing to get a new generation invested him while also providing a green-friendly message.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. If he has an opportunity to use a superhero to promote eco-awareness, why not take advantage by producing such a project? Ideally this attempt will turn out better than the previous ones. While Leonardo DiCaprio being involved with a Captain Planet movie sounds unusual at first, it actually makes sense given his environmental activism. So rather than be a full reboot, it would function more as a sequel, though it's unclear whether that would mean it's family-friendly or somewhere closer to PG-13 territory. Supposedly Matt and Powell's Captain Planet movie would pick up years after the original TV show, with the eponymous protagonist now a "washed-up has-been" who needs the kids more than they need him. The report also included a brief synopsis provided by sources. If they can secure the rights to the 1990s animated series, they're eyeing Jono Matt and Scream Queens actor Glen Powell to pen the script, although there's no word yet on whether the latter would star in the movie. ![]() According to THR, Paramount is partnering with Leonardo DiCaprio's production company Appian Way Productions to tackle a Captain Planet movie.
