Don Cheadle To Play War Machine!

"This Is So Going In My Blog,"

According to our sources, actor, Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) is set to replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2. Howard played Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Tony Stark's best friend, and future War Machine.

The reasons for the replacement have been unclear so far, but some are saying that Howard fell through due to financial differences, among other reasons of course.

Marvel, who had long wanted to work with Cheadle, decided to take the role in a different direction and approach Cheadle, who is currently filming, Brooklyn's Finest.

Iron Man 2 is set to be released on May 7, 2010. Jon Favreau will return as director, Downey Jr. as Iron Man, and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts.

I'm a little uneasy with this sudden replacement honestly. I thought Terrence Howard was an excellent choice for the role, and that he really nailed it. I'm not realy sure a out this move by Marvel. However, I do think that Don Cheadle is a great actor, and could possibly bring something new to the character.
