Terrence Howard Lets Off Some War Machine Steam

ya that is crap, the man might be something of a premadonna but i think he's a great actor. im not condoning his behavior or the fact the he didnt want to take the role because he was gonna get paid a supporting actor salary but the man atleast deserves a phone call. This would be like finding out your g/f broke up with you when you see her single status on myspace or facebook, not to sound like bale but its called being a proffesional. Im optimistic about Cheadle being Rhodes/Warmachine but i still think Howard is a gifted actor, he just needs to deflate his ego a bit

Terrance Howard was apparently a pain in the ass to work with, ended up making more money than anyone else on the film due to a contract error, and his acting in the movie was basically made him seem like a 12 year old white whiney kid.
of sorts.

goes to show, if your a dick to your co-workers your not famous enough to be replaced.
i for one dont really care that hes replaced and hope that Cheadle works well with the IMPORTANT cast and crew members. unlike mr. howard

its all over the internet how everyone on set hated him and that he was a big bitch. look it up. his performance was not good enough to save him from his man-diva ways

i think cheadle will do just fine, he cracks me up as the character he plays in the oceans movie however

'his acting in the movie was basically made him seem like a 12 year old white whiney kid.
of sorts."

and

"i mean i know rhodes is a military man but i felt howard mad him a little bit to serious"

makes you 2 guys seem a bit catty lol

but everyone has there opinions

and mine is, he played rhodes well, being that he is starks best friend and we all know how we have to be like a adult when your best friend is acting up and being irresponsible.

Hey i feel for the guy!!!! MARVEL's turning into a big bunch of a$$holes! Sorry MARVEL but you are! Some Actor's are a pain in the a$$, someone Batty hint hint! Anyway the guys perfect for the role! Hey Howard see if you can't get the role of JOHN STEWART in the GREEN LANTERN movie, hopefully JOHNS in it!!! WARNER/DC are taking over the big screen anyway! ; )

Its not that Howard made him to serious. He was emotionless and almost boring. At least Cheadle will bring something to the table. He is never boring and always delivers awesome characters.

But, it all came down to money. He was the highest paid on the first film. Marvel wanted him to do the 2nd at the same rate, maybe even less, while the leads (RDJ and Paltrow) got big raises, well deserved by the way. Im sure he felt butthurt by that, and demanded a raise, even thou he is a supporting player. Iron Man did not succed because of him, it was because of RDJ and Favreau. We did not go to the theater to see Rhodey. We went to see Tony Stark and Iron Man. He could not put his ego aside for the betterment of the film.

@ Pumchavas

It is, and very sad.

The reason he was paid so much, was because he just came off his Oscar Nom in Hustle & Flow. Marvel should have went with Cheadle from the start. But I think he was filming Ocean's 13 when they were filming Iron Man. But, RDJ was able to juggle Tropic Thunder and Iron Man at the same time, or back to back.

Fighting, should prove he will take anything, as long as you toss a ton of cash his way.

And RDJ was jetting back and forth from Hawaii (Tropic Thunder) to the mainland for the press on Iron Man, and Comic Con.

I just found this quote from Howard on Cinematical.com... copy and paste the link to view the article.. http://www.cinematical.com/2009/04/06/iron-man-2-wont-be-finding-a-demon-in-a-bottle-after-all/

"Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I want to see what happens with that. I want to see Don Cheadle become me. I want him to do better than me. That's what I really want to see. I think he can."

Yeah, I think Cheadle will bring so much more to the Rhodey character. It wont be hard for Don to do better the Howard. I just hope Cheadle doesn't "become me", as Terance stated. Cheadle is one of the best character actors right now. He is different in every role, so Im guessing he will kill this role, and wont be left on the cutting room floor as much as Howard was. If anyone watched his deleted sceens, you will know what Im talking about.

Very interesting article. RDJ basically says they are saving "Deamon in a Bottle" for IM3.

i would be so pissed off

How come no one cares that, other than the fact that he's black, Don Cheadle looks nothing like Rhodey? In all the comics with War Machine that I had (I used to have them all when he first came out) he looked like the guy who played Spawn. He was jacked and mean-looking, not a small/regular guy. Just a thought but I'm sure he'll do well.

i think people get caught up on if some one looks like the character they are suppose to portray rather than can they act. Cheadle may not be identical to the Rhodes in the comics, but my god the mans a force on the screen. Same can be said for other actors, i have a friend who bitches because Hugh Jackman is too tall and not stocky enough to play wolverine, ya he might have 6 inches on the comic character, but the man can act, who gives a damn if he's not a carbon copy. Same with thor, ppl want triple H because he looks like thor, but we all know his performance would be lackluster at best. I would much rather some one who can act their ass off and bring the character to life and give him depth, even if they arent the best fit for the role physically.

I think everyone is getting beside the point yes howard is a dickhead but irregardless of that marvel and the production team are suppose to be professional no matter what the situation and that wasn't the right way to go about letting him know.

I liked Terrence in the first movie but from what i herard he was asking for way too much money. Plus he was the highest paid actor in the first movie. Does anyone really need that much money? Cheadle is gonna rock.

I like Terrence Howard... I think he's a solid actor.. but when you're expecting more than that star of the film.. and you've got like 1/4 the screen time... kinda nuts.. plus Don Cheadle is awesome!

terrence howard is a great actor, BUT he didnt really shine in Iron Man. He didn't really do anything that some unknown couldn't have done. And he was paid more than Robert Downey Jr. He shouldnt have been so greedy about the 2nd film... BUT, they shoulda dumped him like adults.

Anyway, I like Cheadle more. and i know he's gonna kick ass
