Rhodes hits the Road: Terrence Howard replaced in Iron Man 2? Can't Post

*Sigh*

Don't you hate it when a favorite character is recast?

According to the links below, Terrence Howard and Marvel apparently had "financial differences". Don Cheadle seems to be his replacement in the role of Jim Rhodes, who is known for replacing Tony as Iron Man on occasion, and is also likely to make his debut as War Machine in the sequel.

I enjoyed Howard in the role, and was really looking forward to seeing him wear a suit of his own in Iron Man 2. I really hope they can work out a deal to keep him on board. What happened to two or three film contracts? Cheadle is great, but I will have difficulty accepting him as War Machine.

Don't know how I missed this post! [In reply to] Can't Post

While I love Don Cheadle as an actor, I really enjoyed Terrence Howard in that role. It would be a shame to see him leave the series. I suppose that someone being recast was inevitable considering Hollywood's fascination with swapping actors in superhero franchises, but it still stings.
