Terrence Howard Replaced in the Iron Man Sequel
October 22nd, 2008 by Evil Beet
Hollywood’s a rough place, even after you’re famous.
Apparently Terrence Howard’s character as Iron Man’s sidekick was replaced with Don Cheadle in the film’s sequel, and he learned along with the rest of us.
“It was the surprise of a lifetime,” he told NPR on Tuesday. “There was no explanation, (the contract) just up and vanished.”
Ugh.
Honestly, why does anybody want to work in this industry?

Hey, it’s hard out there for a pimp.
LMAO – Down Unda, I love you
Uh, this was news like a week ago?
Besides, Terence needs to find a new agent.
That’s BS. I was looking forward to Terrence! I love his voice. Damn.
Isn’t this sort of old news? Anyway, I like Don Cheadle much more than Terrence Howard.
NO! I loved him in the first one and I like him better than Cheadle!!!
this is so stupid…..
i’m not watching it now….tho i love cheadle
They are both good actors. Someone on that film has an agenda or a beef of some sort. Or someone feels like Cheadle deserves his dues and Howard is getting screwed in the process. Howard may know the truth but isn’t saying.
I actually like more Cheadle. but um, being replaced like that must suck.
i hate sequel recasts for any reason. i’m still not over the loss of michael keaton as batman.
Was he being a demanding male Diva? It sounds like they were trying to teach him a lesson.
I think if you start with a character you thought was suitable enough to start with, finish with him too. This will end up being a “whose playing Batman this year joke”.
