It hasn't been easy for actor
Don Cheadle to step into the
Iron Man 2 production, partly because of the controversy surrounding the fact that he would be replacing his friend,
Terrence Howard, but also because of his age.
Cheadle told CBR:
"You fantasize about it as a kid and think it would be a lot of fun. Then you’re 40 and you’re like, 'Nah.' But I saw the first Iron Man and I just really enjoyed it. I thought they did a great job. They were able to really combine the CGI and the pyrotechnics with some real character stuff going on, so I thought it was a very interesting mix." Cheadle also said that he didn't actually get to work as much as it might seem:
"I didn’t expect the 'Rhodey CGI' character to work more days than me. I didn’t think my stuntman would work as many days as I did. But you know, really it’s a combination of your work. You’re in this motion capture suit, then stuntmen do some stuff, you get to do some stuff, then they don’t need any of you and they draw it themselves. So it’s really a very interesting process."
