Terrence Howard replaced with Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2
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.
