Part 5/9:
Adding fuel to fans’ frustrations was the revelation that James Rhodes, aka War Machine, might have been a scroll — a shape-shifting Skrull — since Captain America: Civil War. According to the series’ director, this might explain Rhodes’s apparent injury and hospital stay at the end of Secret Invasion. The theory suggests that the entire timeline since Civil War is now suspect, casting doubt on radar moments like his apparent injury. This revelation risks undermining years of character development and continuity, potentially retroactively rewriting Rhodes’ history in the MCU.
