War Machine

Terrence Howard couldn't look much more different than Don Cheadle. Normally, in the real world, this wouldn't be a problem. But since Don Cheadle will be replacing Terrence Howard in the sequel to Iron Man, it matters.  Only a little, but it still matters.

Neither of the actors can be blamed for this, least of all Don Cheadle, so I'm going to leave them out of it. Word on the street is that Howard wanted more money, but since Marvel thinks continuity is a waste of time, they've decided to get someone else in lieu of paying Howard what he has coming to him. When they make Iron Man 3 and Don Cheadle asks for more money, will they replace him with Bow Wow? They all look and act the same, right Marvel?


Okay, true believers, that may have been a little unfair. I'm almost positive that the good people at Marvel are not racists. They were pretty close to 86ing Tobey Maguire in one of the Spiderman movies because he was having some back issues, but they were going to replace him with Jake Gyllenhaal who actually does resemble Mr. Maguire somewhat more than Cheadle does Howard.

Still, though, if a movie is going to make a bundle of money, why not just pay the guy who was in the first movie?
