Cheadle will reprise his role of USAF Colonel James “Rhodey” Rhodes from ‘Iron Man 2’ - also known as War Machine. The suit now comes with added flag - a kind of hybrid between Iron Man and Captain America. Check out the mean get-up above.

Here’s Marvel’s official synopsis for the film:

“When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?”

‘Iron Man 3’, directed by Shane Black, hits the UK 26 April 2013.
