Don fucking Cheadle...


cheadles that nigga, but damn if this doesn't ruin continuity and shit...

terrence did a dope job

but the story goes....

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In a surprise move, Don Cheadle will replace Terrence Howard as Robert Downey Jr's best friend in "Iron Man 2," the sequel to the superhero saga.


In the Marvel Studios summer smash, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.

Marvel had no comment, but sources close to the deal said negotiations with Howard fell through over financial differences, among other reasons. Marvel, which had wanted to work with Cheadle, then decided to take the role in another direction and approached the actor, who is shooting Antoine Fuqua's "Brooklyn's Finest" with Richard Gere and Ethan Hawke.

The Rhodes character is expected to play a larger part in the sequel, which is rumored to go beyond high-tech villains. Justin Theroux is writing the screenplay.

Jon Favreau is returning as director, and Downey is expected back as billionaire industrialist Stark/Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow also is expected to be back as Stark's assistant, Pepper Potts. "Iron Man 2" is scheduled for release on May 7, 2010;

Cheadle most recently starred in "Traitor," a thriller on which he was also a producer. He will next be seen in DreamWorks' "Hotel for Dogs."

it's on mtv.com and yahoo as well i believe.

I watched Spiderman's "Carnage" episode the other day which had...


War Machine
Iron Man
Venom
Carnage


all in it. And War Machine was played by a bigger guy.

lol

James Rhodes' size changes through each artist that depicts him. So does his look.

In some he looks like Terrence Howard/Boris Kodjoe mix, and in some he looks closer to a Ving Rhames type dude....

none of the actors in question are as big as the comic though... but that shouldnt really matter being that it's a big metal suit.

the only thing that's gonna suck is the continuity.
I wish Terrance Howard and the studio could get along... maybe they weren't offering him enough, or maybe he was requesting too much... lol

[Ntalek]

fuck as much money as the movies made they should just give it to him...Howard>Cheadle.

[Spoken Deity]

Howard fits my idea of the character...But then again, I have faith in what Marvel has been doing.

[Kris Cain]

Cheadle is a beast... and imo is a better actor, but Howard fits the role better

but i guess it's no use crying over spilt milk
what's done is done

[Ntalek]

yeah cheadle is a beast in acting but I just can't see him in a role of a marvel comic...it's way out of his normal roles..IMO..

i THINK he can handle it.

[Ntalek]

um I never said he couldn't it just would seem different to grasp him in a roll like this..I'm use to him playing the more serious roles like in Hotel Rawanda and shit like that..but eh..he could pull it off I guess well have to see in 2010..

he's an actor...

what the fuck you think he's gonna fuck up playing a general in the army?

that's what the role consists of....a Military Man.....

not a fucking alien from saturn made out of jello and breaths crispy creme donut filling

he can do comedy...obviously...better then Terrence...

i would want to keep Terrence strictly for continuity issues but Don is a better choice then going with fifty cent.
