Rhodey

In the footage, Nick Fury () meets with Col. Rhodey Rhodes () to discuss the Skrull invasion, which Rhodey reveals he already knew about.

Before the fight began, Rhodey told Tony to step aside as he tried to use the Ex-Wife.

It gives actor Don Cheadle a chance to play the villain for a change (and he revels in it), but it leaves the real Rhodey in a precarious position.

It made us realize that Skrull Rhodey was the one who fired Fury (which in hindsight, was incredibly suspicious).

Nonetheless, "Secret Invasion" has subtly but very deliberately lampshaded the issue through Nick Fury's (Samuel L. Jackson) interactions with his supposed ally, Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes (Don Cheadle).

Of all the theories about when Rhodey became a Skrull, this is the one that seems to make the most logical sense on the Skrull side.

Regardless, Valentina could certainly be a quite challenging and complex foe for Rhodey to face seeing as how she's not exactly an outright villain and allegedly working in the best interest of the country.

Rhodey isn't an adversary, but he's being more adversarial than he have been before.

Rhodey's imposter not only managed to fool everyone for an extended period of time but also came within moments of instigating World War III on Gravik's behalf.

Secret Invasion showed that Rhodey was a Skrull for years.

She is then quite shocked when he reveals that Rhodey is a Skrull, asking why Gravik would want to blow up his own people.

The fun part about it is that we're going to continue to explore Rhodey and — in some ways for the first time — get to see what makes him tick.

This would come hot on the heels of War Machine being replaced by a Skrull in the MCU, meaning the Rhodey who now exists in the franchise potentially missed everything that occurred after Captain America: Civil War.

While Rhodey has fought Ultron's android soldiers and the alien forces serving Thanos, he has no prior experience with the villains of : Skrulls.

Finding out what exactly makes Rhodey tick, how he's changed over the course of becoming a hero and how his paralysis during Captain America: Civil War has affected him are all ripe with story potential.

Teamed-up with Nebula (Karen Gillan), Rhodey went to space alongside Nat and Clint, who were tasked to get the Soul Stone on Vormir.

Tony immediately goes after his friends and the moment where he worries Rhodey might be dead is full of obvious pain written in Tony's face.

As Giant Man emerges from the rubble with Hulk, Rhodey and Rocket in hand, the scene is set for one of the most jaw-dropping battles in cinema history.

Rhodey may have suggested using time travel to go back and kill Thanos as a child, but that wouldn't work with 's time travel rules.

Robert Downey Jr.'s "I am Iron Man" was improvised, and the writers confirmed that there was originally more to that scene and his final moments as he was reunited with Pepper Potts, Peter Parker, and Rhodey.
