Both the Hollywood Reporter and Brian Michael Bendis (via Twitter) have announced that Terrance Howard, who played the James Rhodes in last May’s Iron Man is being replaced by Don Cheadle due to “financial considerations and other differences” for the sequel.

I honestly can’t stand when characters are recast for sequels. And you know what Terrance Howard was a fucking awesome James Rhodes.

Iron Man 2 is currently in development and is slated to hit theaters May 7, 2010.

Fuck that story….

Fuck not paying Terence Howard what he wants. And fuck Terence Howard for allowing money to determine his involvement in a film franchise he claims to have had so much fun making (one where he gets to be fucking WAR MACHINE).

Guess who won’t be doing a War Machine solo movie? Terrance Howard!

What I don’t get is that he put so much time being the side-kick in the first movie so that he could pay his dues to be war machine in the second one…

It’s like those kids in little league who always wanted to bat, but never wanted to field… Only in reverse.

Maybe he has War Machine pressure issues.

This is bullshit! Terrence Howard is an amazing actor and was great as Rhodes! And while I think Don Cheadle is equally amazing, I don’t think he will make a good Rhodes. Strike 1 Iron Man 2… Strike. One.

At least its Don Cheadle and not Chris Rock.

Wait, maybe Charlie Murphy would be better than Don Cheadle.

I’m just surprised a bunch of white robots from the midwest could tell a difference between Black actors in the first place. Maybe your programming is better than I thought.

I’m not from the midwest.

And I was hoping they’d cast Terry Crews as the new Rhodey.

Chapelle’s tied up with Ghostbusters 4 as the token black dude.

Will Humanjunk ever stop complaining long enough to prove to the world that he has more talent and skill than all the people he trashes on ad nauseum?

Outlook not so good.

I like Chapelle… I’m not making fun of him. I’m making fun of Ghostbusters 3.
