My guess rhodey gets one full action scene in the armor before Tony makes fun of it. End of iron patriot armor use in movie.

Since this movie is supposed to put more focus on an extremis story line and Mandarin I think it makes more sense this is just a quick cameo.

That'd be aping avengers too much with the Tony Steve style talk.

It probably has a more prominent role than that. Really depends on how they plan to approach Extremis, but Rhodes and Pepper are Ironman Mainstays that'll get little to zero Avengers screentime. Chances are they'll use this to continue on that trend. Especially for war machine since they've been talking about a spin-off again. Now for that to happen though, this US War Machine armor will have to get pretty mangled up, taken away for a new pilot, or otherwise out of commission.

Who knows, really the story potential is full open for any direction so long as the main story is cohesive.
