I can not stand it when actors are changed in the middle of the story to play the same part it always turns to crap i mean just look at terminator….it was ruined because of it I call this a bad move on marvels part if don cant pull off the smooth attitude that howard does
it could drop this movie down next to “star ship troopers” Lets prey the movie gods know what their doing

@Don,

First black superhero? Are you forgetting the epic that was Shaquille O’Neil as Steel?

It always fucks with me when actors/actresses change (except for when Katie Holmes didn’t come back for The Dark Knight…she was the only weak link cast-wise in the first film). I really don’t believe this reported situation…Terrance Howard seemed so excited about being War Machine in interviews and they have boat loads of cash!

I like Cheadle but it’s too soon to start replacing members of the Iron Man casts.

Marvel PURPOSEFULLY is not bringing Terrence back and it wasn’t because of money. HowardÃ‚Â had a contract, why would he need to negotiate.Ã‚Â The director and Downey both prefer to work with Terrence.Ã‚Â Frankly it doesn’t pass the laugh test. Ã‚Â Terrence or his team would never allow “alleged” negotiations (albeit of an existing agreement) stop them from being the first black superhero. Ã‚Â And if Marvel truly said it was financing, why are they hiding under anonymity? Ã‚Â One statement “leaked” to The Hollywood Reporter and every news agency is taking it as gospel. Ã‚Â How GOSSIP travels.

If Marvel really had a choice in the matter, and who knows what really went down, then, yes, this seems like a silly decision. I hate when they replace actors in sequels; it just bugs you when you watch the movie.

However, the upside is that Terrence Howard’s role in Iron Man was pretty minimal. So maybe it won’t bother me that much.

It seems like a stupid decision to me.

It seems almost pointless. Didnt down grade or anything. I am actually kind of disappointed.

Yeah. I like both of the actors but I really liked Howard and felt him and Downey Jr. had a great repour in the first. I hope this isn’t right but if it is so it goes.

No big deal. I’d much rather see Cheadle in the role anyway.
