Isn't he going to jail?

Howard's voice was very distracting and was anything but strong or charismatic enough to be comparable to Robert Downey Jr.'s. Certainly didn't seem commanding enough to be in the military, let alone such an apparently powerfully placed role in the military.
Cheadle does seem an odd replacement, but I'm glad they're replacing Howard nontheless. He honestly came across as weak, both physically and mentally, every time he was on the screen.
Wesley Snipes can play Rhodey in Iron Man 4, after Jeffrey Wright plays him in Iron Man 3.![]()
You know, it goes without saying that things are different for people of color. I work to pay the bills, not to listen to the hype. I've been the next big thing in this business for a few years. It's funny to me when I hear it now, because I know the way it works. I'm not confused.
"I'm damn near 37 years old, and I'm jumping up and down on the bed like my 10-year-old. I was a wild man" [31 January 2006 upon learning of his Oscar nomination for Hustle & Flow (2005)].
(On his first role in The Cosby Show) I got on the show after begging the casting person to see me. We did the episode, I told all my friends it was coming on, and then they cut me out at the last minute. I was furious. So the next day I went to Mr. Cosby's dressing room and asked him why I got cut out. He didn't seem to appreciate that too much. I never got back on the show again.
(2008) You offend me, I will call you on it. I don't care if you're the head of a studio or a P.A. on the set. You disrespect me, you have to pay for that. You're not gonna tell me 'shut up' and I'll shut up. I've always maintained my integrity. That's more important than anything. Being able to face yourself in the mirror at the end of the day and say, 'I still see me there. I don't see a dented version of me.'
You can hear the entire interview on NPR.org with the comments about Iron Man 2 starting at roughly 4 and a half minutes in."It was the surprise of a lifetime," he said. "There was no explanation. [The contract] just...up and vanished. I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something, but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on, sometimes. Promises aren't kept, and good faith negotiations aren't always held up."
Definitely a push. Cheadle's a terrific actor.Woah, didn't see this one coming. Apparently Don Cheadle is going to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2. Why? Financial reasons.
