Don Cheadle

This is probably the worse news from the series to replace another actor who has already been established as a franchise character. Don Cheadle is all set to play Robert Downey Jr right hand man in the next Iron Man 2 movie.

Marvel Studios has hired Don Cheadle to replace Terrence Howard in the upcoming Iron Man sequel. Cheadle will play Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark’s best friend and future War Machine. Direct Jon Favreau has made numerous hints that War Machine may a part in the second film. The Hollywood Reporter’s sources claim it was a conflict due to financial differences. Earlier this year it was widely speculated that Marvel was trying to low ball Favreau with an offer not much higher than his initial payday for the first film, especially what the first film outperformed to the level that Iron Man had. Marvel believes the superhero characters themselves are the real stars, many believe they are being very thrifty.
