Terrence Howard Surprised by "Iron Man 2" Re-CastingPosted: October 19th, 2008 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
It was recently announced that Terrence Howard would not be returning for the "Iron Man" sequel. Instead, Marvel has singed on Don Cheadle to step into the Jim Rhodes role. While very few details were revealed as to why the change happened, the announcement hinted that negotiations between Howard and the studio fell through due to Howard's pay raise request.
Now, speaking to NPR [via Chud], Howard reveals that he has never seen a contract and found about the change like everyone else.
"Yeah, I found that out, too," he sighed. "It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation. [The contract] just... up and vanished. I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something, but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on, sometimes. Promises aren't kept, and good faith negotiations aren't always held up."
I'm not sure what to make of this. What could the reason possibly be for Marvel to replace Howard?

Even though I wasnt a fan of Iron Man or very fond of Howard as Rhodes in the film, I would much rather Marvel keep Howard then replace him with Cheadle

If this is the case, then they should at least talk to Howard. I would liek to see Howard as Jimmiy rhodes again. But i like Don Cheadle, he is a fantastic actor and would take ove rthe role perfectly, bu ti would still like to see Howard take up the role of Jimmy again...and war machine

I hate seeing characters from the first movie be replaced with another actor on the second. The inconsistency drives me insane! They should give Howard back his role. I had no complaints on his character.

Only problem w the above post is...Maggie Gyllenhal > Katie Holmes for the Batfranchise..and yeah..that won't happen here. Howard was a much better choice for the role.

Howard would make such a better Warmachine. Cheadle is kinda wussy for a role like that.

I agree with both Sulu and i3u7n5. The inconsistency with the casting is annoying and the only time it ever worked out for the better was with Gyllenhal in DK. As good of an actor Cheadle is, he still can't do what Howard did and can still do for Jim Rhodes.

I hated Gyllenhal in The Dark Knight. Katie Holmes was much better. The only reason that Gyllenhal worked in The Dark Knight was because Rachel Dawes, an abomination of a character that never should have been used in the first place, was killed. It was the first time I was glad that a major "good" character was killed.
