MINI_MYTE Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Check it out people. No Howard for Iron man 2!!! Don Cheadle will replace TH as Jim Rhodes. Edited October 14, 2008 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I like Howard a lot. . .but I like Cheadle even more (even if I don't quite see him as the "buddy" character that Howard was). Not necessarily bad news, though a bit surprising. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 That is really surprising. Terrence Howard seemed really enthusiastic about the whole franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Its unfortunate when they have to switch actors in a series, but Cheadle is one heck of an actor, so I don't mind in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 This news makes me sad. I like both actors, maybe I even like Don Cheadle more, but I really don't like recasting in sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 What I don't get is it was over $. How much did TH want that made Don Cheadle such a bargain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know. . .it's hard out here for a pimp, when he's tryin' to get this money for the rent. For the Cadillacs and gas money spent, because a whole lot of bitches talking $hit.

Shanester Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Its unfortunate when they have to switch actors in a series, but Cheadle is one heck of an actor, so I don't mind in this case. Ditto. I thought TH was really into it, but I guess he got greedy on this one. I don't really like actor changes like this, but I would much rather an actor change than see a movie's budget grow because of a greedy actor. We, as movie-goers, end up paying in the end.

Joe Hill Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 If they were introducing War Machine, then it is understandable if Howard wanted a higher salary. His role would be increased significantly, and he would be doing the same work as Robert Downey Jr. He likely wanted a similar pay to Downey. However, the movie is called "Iron Man," and Robert Downey Jr is a much bigger name. I don't like how Don Cheadle looks nothing like Terrence Howard or Jim Rhodes. Jim Rhodes is broad and bulky, whereas Cheadle is scrawny and a few inches shorter. But Cheadle is a good actor, so I have faith in the sequel.

The_Donster Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Honestly, I would have much rather seen someone like Michael Jai White replace Howard as Rhodey. Yes, Cheadle is a formadible actor, but this isn't Shakespeare in the Park, it's Iron Man. At least get a actor who matches up with the character he's playing. I'm really hoping this wasn't about money or a script, that would disappoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first glanced at this, I thought you were referring to Jaleel White, who would make an interesting War Machine.

When I first glanced at this, I thought you were referring to Jaleel White, who would make an interesting War Machine. Scene: Rhodey (Jaleel White) is trying the War Machine armor for the first time: RDJ: "Now Rhodey, you want to be very careful with the weapons system, it can do some serious damage real quick." JW: "So I should stay far away from those???" Rhodey turns and gestures towards Stark's car collection, and a barrage of rockets launch from the War Machine armor, destroying Stark's cars and ripping an enormous hole through the mansion. The dust settles and one last chunk of rubble falls from the ceiling... JW: "Did I do thaaaaaat???" end scene.
