Terrence Howard replaced with Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2

[ara87]

According to insiders, Howard ended up being the best payed actor for the first Iron Man, earning even more than leading man Robert Downey Jr. However, supposedly there were issues concerning Howard's conduct on the set, and it is also rumoured that the director and screenwriter were not satisfied with his performance on screen, which necessitated several re-shots and re-edits, and even caused them to consider cutting Howard's role severely in the sequel.

Whatever the reason of dissatisfaction was, most sources seem to agree that the studio offered Howard a significantly reduced salary, which was refused by his agents, according to the studio. However, according to Howard himself, he had already accepted and signed for the reduced fee, but the studio later regretted their decision of hiring him, and broke the agreement.

yeah, I'd say it was understandable b/c apparently he can be a jack ass, but then again he's a famous actor so an ego problem should be expected. I mean look at Russel Crowe. He seems like a nice guy till he's throwing phones at you, so imagine him on the set. But I guess you're allowed to have an ego if you have an oscar

Although I haven't seen Iron Man and don't plan on it, Terrence Howard is an excellent actor. He was really bummed about the news too.

Oh well, money is always a factor in show business.

I have a feeling that without Terrance Howard Iron Man 2 isn't going to do so well.

I don't think he would have made that much of a difference. His part wasn't that vital. I think it'll depend more on it's release date, and what other films are out at the time.

Yea, like The Hulk. Iron Man was released on the same month as The Hulk. It was a great movie but because the fact that everybody rather watch Iron Man, it didn't make much money.

Really? Maybe i'll go rent it. I didn't see it, b/c while I couldn't picture Edward Norton as the Hulk, and the fact that a Hulk movie had just recently come out before it just made me go "why?"
