Captain America: Civil War features multiple heavy hitters, including Tony's right-hand man War Machine, but this could very well be his final flight.
In the trailers we see Rhodey, aka Don Cheadle's War Machine, struck down from the sky with a blast through the chest. In one of the hallmark scenes Tony can be seen holding him on the ground, and of course, fans want to know if this is the end of the character. Cheadle happens to think that's a good thing.
"I'm on Twitter, so I've gotten a few people going, 'Rhodey better not be dead, son. I'm going to be so mad.' Or 'I'm done with this thing if Rhodey's dead,' "
"But that's cool, I like that people get so upset about it," he adds. "I like that in a Marvel movie people are able to evoke such emotion."
Civil War is all about riling up people's emotions and making them choose a side. Just because it's a comic book film doesn't mean you shouldn't have some emotional investment. The only real issue is when no one cares whether someone lives or dies. That's when you know you have a problem.
