As revealed by construct artist Phil Saunders inThe Art of Avengers : Endgame , War Machine was going to have three different suit in the movie . Instead , Rhodey wore two suits in the film : the Mark VI costume after The Snap and the War Machine / Iron Patriot Mark VII during the final fight .
" War Machine was an interesting process because at the time when we were working on it , there were going to be three War Machine armors . There was going to be the Mark III armor from Civil War that he crashed in , which was going to be repair . The Mark IV was going to be used to go back to Morag , and there was a whole sequence where he was underwater . That suit was go to be featured heavily there , and then it was going to get unthaw away by the acidic water supply - which would lead him to have to put on another suit , the Mark V , which we were calling the cosmic War Machine armour , which was choke to be used for battle in space . "
There are a few intriguing tidbits about another version ofAvengers : Endgamethat come up from this reveal . For starter , the idea of Rhodey fix back in the Mark III armour would be a fascinating addition to his electric discharge . He alreadystruggled to suit up again in the first place , but cast on the suit that he nearly die in could ’ve tot up some layer to Rhodey ’s floor . What we do n’t bed is why this suit would need to be posit for him to tire .
We ’ve lie with about the changes made to the Morag successiveness toavoid a giant underwater set piece , but the acidic urine is something new . There was no indication inGuardians of the GalaxyorAvengers : Endgamethat the body of water on Morag was acidulous . Depending on how acidulous the water is , Rhodey may have had to swim through it as tight as possible to nullify the Mark IV suit fromAvengers : Infinity Warbeing completely dissolve - and perhaps him along with it . In the film though , it was the Mark VI armor that War Machine wore to Morag .
to boot , the details on the Mark V armour may reveal a altogether unlike third act forAvengers : Endgameat one time . If Saunders and the development squad were referring to it as a cosmic armor , that would imply that it was going to be featured in blank space . The totality ofAvengers : Endgame ’s concluding battle takes position at Avengers HQ , but other ideas were surely discussed . That say , it is possible that the War Machine / Iron Patriot suit is build for quad and just was n’t employ in that way .
