i think putting Don Cheadle as the new James Rhodes is more of a bad idea don't get me wrong Cheadle is a good actor, but Terrence Howard played it better with being the friend who would go the distances to find and help his friend. Cheadle would look like it's all about wearing the armor

Though I do appreciate Don Cheadle's acting talent, I have to admit that Terrence Howard would be a better fit for the role. I hope that wisdom wins out over egos. When I think of the replacement for the role of the wife (Evy) in the 3rd Mummy movies, she was a very poor choice and it had a real impact on the flow of the movie. I would advise the studio not to be "penny wise, but pound foolish."

Damn…I had no Idea that Marvel was that shady.Cheadle looks like Flavor Flav for God's sake.Usually superheroes are supposed to be handsome(no homo)and heroic looking.They can't be seriouse.But what can you do?They'll find out the HARD way at the boxoffice…trust me.

How has Iron Man earnt more than the Spiderman series? I’m fairly sure thats a whole bunch of wrong. And its not a spoiler if you made it up.

I believe it is a stupid idea replacing terrence howard if he wants more money give it him Iron man earnt more than the entire spider-man series and beat the hulk film!

I also believe changing the charecter will change the mood of the film Terrence howard played James rhode very good in the first film he was a funny actor and kept the storyline happy otherwise i would have left the cinema after the first scene!

Iron man 2 spoiler:

If Terrence wants more because of his characters plot line then it is most likely he will have to save tony and probably will be killed off in the next film!

yeah apparently he got payed more than robert downey jr. for iron man because he was one of the first big actor to be casted and signed a contract so there was no chaging it. apparently they wanted to give him substantionally less money for the second one and he refused so they replaced him

Funny that last post “don’t make it a racial issue” when in “21″ most of the real-life “characters” were Asian males but were replaced in the movie with Caucasians. “Any actor that takes that role…” Indeed. But I digress. Back to the topic at hand. I think Marvel’s bluffing. Since there’s a lot of talk and expectation that the 2nd will be about War Machine, Marvel might be trying to get us to believe that it won’t be about War Machine. When, in the end, it actually will be. Just to throw us off the scent. However, if it’s true they’re replacing Howard, well, that’s not cool. I hate it when they replace someone who has become the face of that character. It is jarring and does mess with continuity. You might not feel it right away, but when you start watching, something just doesn’t feel right. Even if the new actor does a good job. Like Dumbledore in Potter. Unfortunately, that actor had died but still…it was sad as well as jarring and inconsistent all at the same time.

1) Don’t make it a racial issue. The character’s black so any actor that takes that role will be black. It wasn’t a racial issue that Gylenhaal took over from Holmes – I mean they don’t look alike at all.

1) Just hearing about the possibility of casting Don Cheadle was incredibly insulting. I mean damn, it’s like one black guy is as interchangeable as another. Seriously, these two actors are so entirely different from each other you’d have to be a really racist SOB to think you could just substitute one for the other. Ridiculous. For a minute there I was proudly looking forward to the silverscreen debut of such a racially progressive and downright gritty superhero origin.

2) Howard was an important part of the first movie’s success. I truly believe the only reason the movie got the acclaim it did was the chemistry on set. The story was generic, and it all degenerated into a typical big robot fight. But the ride was so fun because it felt like everyone on set was really enjoying embracing these characters. Robert Downey Jr. was clearly the keystone that held the entire cast together, but Howard & Paltrow really did their thing. I just don’t see how Hotel Rwanda’s gonna fit in there.

3) WHY ARE SO MANY ASSUMING MARVEL IS TELLING THE TRUTH? Terrence Howard’s comments (see wikipedia page of movie) suggest that they actually broke their end of the contract. Worse still they broke it without much communication. He sounded genuinely upset about being left out of the next production.
