Disney's D23 kicks off today, and ahead of a dedicated video game showcase focused on Marvel projects in development, it's rumored that EA will unveil a solo Iron Man video game. As reported by Axios, the Iron Man project is rumored to be in the early stages of development.

"An Axios source familiar with the project says it had still been in development recently at one of the company's Canadian studios," the report claimed. EA's BioWare studio, the Red Crow mobile team, Motive Studios, and Metalhead Studio are some of the EA companies that reside in Canada. BioWare has some experience that would lend itself to an Iron Man game, as the studio's short-lived Anthem was built around players piloting armored warsuits that were capable of flight.

The Marvel video game showcase at D23 kicks off at at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET and will feature updates on Disney Dreamlight Valley, Marvel's Midnight Suns, and other in-development projects. A sneak peek at the Marvel game being led by Amy Hennig and Skydance studio may have leaked early, as rumors suggest it will be a Captain America and Black Panther team-up set during World War II.

Putting the Anthem team on Iron Man is actually a smart idea. Pretty similar to Guardians of the Galaxy. Take a studio that bombed, and give them a safe IP to use for a rebound game. But this is actually closer to their existing skillset as well; flying robot suits, witty dialogue.

Cautiously optimistic. Might be one of those rare EA games worth playing, like Fallen Order.

Wasnt spider man 2 supposed to be at marvel as well ? Or was it just a stupid rumor from a basement dude claiming insider info ?

What time is this event in the UK? Not really a marvel fan, but it's not like I'm doing anything else tonight.

Plus maybe I can be swayed, don't care for Harry Potter at all, but I'm very excited for Hogwarts Legacy, so if something great is shown, maybe something Marvel can sway me.

Or maybe we might get something cool Disney related

Oh man, I'm not the target audience for this disneyd23 stream.

"Oh my god I got this perfect cup to sip from"

These hosts are insufferable.

 

[Toons]

This is a really cool idea. Iron Man game would definitely work if done right

 

[lovetalkgames]

Iron Man should work as a game, but I’ll be damned if I could describe what that looks like.
