Isn't he going to jail?
Then, the ultimate twist: Michael Jackson plays a heavily revamped Rhodes in Iron Man V: The Final Bottle of Jesus Juice.
^Well, he and Howard have similar speaking voices ...

It was his voice, IMO.
Wesley Snipes can play Rhodey in Iron Man 4, after Jeffrey Wright plays him in Iron Man 3.
screw that Will smith for part 3

Here are some quotes from Terrence Howard in regards to himself and his past experiences in Hollywood:

He doesn't strike me as an action-oriented actor, but he has taken on some really good roles. He was good on SNL, too.

On a related note:
In the case of Batman Forever (then known as Batman Redemption) Michael Keaton did not return because Warner Bros did not offer him enough money for him to want to return for a 3rd film. It wasn't for the lack of Tim Burton as director (who remained as producer). The actor did Multiplicity and Jack Snow, so we know his integrity when it comes to making pictures purely for financial gain.
Same thing happened with Kirstie Alley when it came to shoot Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Alec Baldwin when it came to reprising his role as Jack Ryan in Patriot Games, and now Terrence Howard for Iron Man 2. They were let go because they asked for more money than what the studio was willing to offer them.

Definitely a push. Cheadle's a terrific actor.

that's very odd. Is it possible that Cheadle expressed an interest, and because of his reputation the studio liked him better and kind of pushed Howard out?
Or it could be PR, a story conjured up in order to make him not look so bad...and uhh, greedy.
^ The part about 'good faith negotiations' makes me think that's likely the case. If the Studio had decided to push Howard out, what would there be to negotiate about? A pay cut to convince them to keep him?

Ahhh, time and time again we are reminded that in the end...hollywood is all about one thing ladies and gentlemen........SHOW ME THE MONEY.
^ Cuba Gooding's lined up for Rhodey in Iron Man 5.
Once again, Will smith for Iron Man 3
