Don Cheadle: To Replace Terrence Howard In ‘Iron Man 2′
Don Cheadle is set to take over the role of Tony Stark’s right hand man in the next Iron Man and Terrence Howard is getting the boot.
The departure of Howard playing Jim Rhodes comes as a surprise since the actor has been talking excitedly about the film for a while and will have a bigger role this time around.
“I’m anxious to get into the next one. I don’t want to be a sidekick. I don’t want to be a wingman. I want to have my own thing,” Howard beamed in a May interview with MTV News. “I want to be War Machine.”
So why is he out? Supposedly, negotiations with Howard broke down when it came to money, “among other differences.”
The only hints director Jon Favreau will give are that Tony Stark’s sidekick, War Machine aka Jim Rhodes, will be making an appearance and the villain Mandarin might also be involved.
Iron Man 2 is set for release May 7, 2010.
