Autopsy: Trayvon Martin Died Of Single Gunshot Fired From…
Census: Minorities Now Surpass Whites In US Births
Lots of people, including fans, were shocked to read last week when word went out that Terrence Howard was being replaced by Don Cheadle as James 'Rhodey' Rhodes in the upcoming Marvel Studios sequel 'Iron Man 2'. Generally, when someone gets replaced in a film for a sequel, most of the time it has to do with money. Plenty of actors have gone through this so the trend won't stop. Even Howard was caught off guard by the news.
While doing an interview with the radio station NPR for his album, the issue of him being replaced on the film was brought up.
You're not gonna be Jim Rhodes in 'Iron Man 2.'
Howard: Yea, I found that out too.
Really? They didn't...
Howard: It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation. I read something in the trades that implicated it was about money or something but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on. And promises aren't kept. Good faith negotiations aren't always held up. You know, even friendships, people that you support...
If you want to hear Terrence talk about this, along with some other stuff, such as his music, family and science, go here.

personally, i didn't think terrence was all that great in iron man anyway. he didn't play a military man all that well and was too--fake. fact is, other than iron man (which he didn't carry), the other recent movies he's been in have been lacking these days, so his big head is past due for a deflation.

Have you forgot (Black America), it's always about Money and the white man has it and calls the shots in the USA.I don't like it but that's the way it is.

OK, they so screwed up when the cast him in the first one. He was the HIGHEST paid actor in the film. Now they want to cut his Pay, hell if I was him I would have quit! HOWEVER, recasting a part in a sequel is a DUMB move, it ruins the flow of of the entire series. But Face it folks, they are not going to bring him back. Why? they would have to shell out $$$$$ to him and Don.
