The ‘Armor Wars’ project has been a source of confusion and frustration for many Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. Originally announced as a Disney+ series, the project went through several delays and a significant format change.
Now, it has morphed into a feature film. Moreover, Yassir Lester, the head writer for the ‘Armor Wars’ TV series, recently opened up about the project’s transformation.
‘Armor Wars’ Writer Yassir Lester Believes The Idea He Had For The Series Was “Very Fun”
While acknowledging his own preference for the series format, Yassir Lester also expressed an understanding of Marvel Studios’ decision. He pointed out that Marvel Studios is constantly reevaluating its projects. “I think that, like, Marvel is constantly in a state of, like, ‘What is the most interesting?” he told the Comicbook.
He claimed that they are always considering whether they are better suited for the big screen or a streaming service. So, he believes this is a positive development, suggesting that the studio is increasingly making format decisions based on what best serves the story.
Moreover, on a practical level, Lester indicated that the change in format from series to film shouldn’t cause major creative disruptions. He believes that as long as filming hasn’t started, script adjustments can be made to accommodate the longer movie format. However, Lester did express some personal disappointment.
He also admitted that the story he envisioned for ‘Armor Wars’ worked well as a series. “I think that the story that I told is a very fun series,” he claimed. A serialized format would have allowed for a deeper exploration of the characters and themes.
