Sam Rockwell from Iron Man 2 talks about a potential return in Armor Wars

Sam Rockwell, the actor renowned for his portrayal of Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2, recently weighed in on the swirling speculations surrounding his potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in the upcoming film, Armor Wars. Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Rockwell addressed the widespread rumors, revealing that as of now, he hasn’t received any official communication from Marvel or its President, Kevin Feige, regarding reprising his role in Armor Wars.

The topic arose when Fallon brought up the enthusiastic fan anticipation for Rockwell’s return as the iconic Iron Man 2 villain. Rockwell responded with humor, stating that he is still “waiting for the phone call.” The banter continued with Fallon jokingly suggesting that the call might come during the interview, to which Rockwell playfully responded, “I’ll take it, man.” The actor emphasized his willingness to return to the MCU fold, saying, “Listen, I’m in, dude,” expressing his excitement at the prospect of revisiting the character of Justin Hammer.

Notably, Rockwell’s recent return to the MCU occurred in an alternate reality, as part of the What If…? series, where he reprised his role as Justin Hammer after a hiatus of nine years. In this alternate storyline, Happy Hogan attempts to rescue Avengers Tower during Christmas, leading to Hammer seeking revenge against Tony Stark for the events in Iron Man 2 and stealing a sample of Hulk/Bruce Banner’s blood.

Armor Wars, initially conceived as an MCU Phase Five Disney+ series, has undergone a transformation into a feature film. The project will be spearheaded by Don Cheadle, reprising his role as James Rhodes/War Machine. Unlike the original comic book storyline, the MCU adaptation is set to explore a narrative post-Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) death in Avengers: Endgame. The film promises to delve into the consequences and challenges arising from Stark’s technology falling into the wrong hands, deviating from the original Armor Wars comic arc.

As the MCU continues to evolve and expand, Rockwell’s potential return adds an extra layer of excitement for fans who have long admired his portrayal of the charismatic and cunning Justin Hammer. The actor, a two-time Oscar nominee, has recently been featured in the spy comedy Argylle and is set to star in the upcoming Netflix comedy/fantasy movie Imaginary Friends alongside Ryan Reynolds, directed by John Krasinski, known for his role in A Quiet Place.

With Armor Wars currently in production, the anticipation builds for the film’s release, which is poised to contribute new dimensions to the ever-evolving MCU narrative. As Rockwell awaits that anticipated phone call, fans eagerly await the unfolding of the Armor Wars saga, anticipating the potential return of a character who has left an indelible mark on the MCU landscape.
