What’s disappointing? His response to being screwed over? What did you expect?

Cheadle is a great actor. I agree with others though in saying that you just don’t drop an actor who obviously did a decent job for nothing. If he did something significant to the decision to drop him, then some lines were obviously crossed. He said he wasn’t informed about him not being recast. That seems like an extremely unprofessional move on the part of Marvel Studios. I’m in shock more people are not upset over that.

In any case, it seems to me not hearing an official comment on the issue from Marvel that they weezled their way out of the contract with Howard to “trade up” for Cheadle. That’s disappointing to say the least.

My understanding is Howard got the most money ’cause he was the first one to commit to the movie. If Favreau had problems with his performance, he could have corrected that on the spot with a little….what’s that word? Oh yeah, direction. Also, he co-wrote the script so if the character wasn’t what he wanted then he only has himself to blame. I was actually surprised they made an Iron Man movie because it’s not like he’s that commonly known by the average person. As much as I like the fact the technology is finally there to make quality comic book movies no one has really done it up right yet (Dark Knight excluded). But that’s DC and I was always a Marvel man.

RDJ is not a prima donna. He ain’t gonna screw up anything out of greed. Come on, the man’s been through hard times but he’s a nice person around all those that know him. No way in heck will he suddenly demand for a higher pay and screw up the franchise. He’s a consummate artist and a method actor, not a prima donna.

@Jae Senn
Agree with you, but Cheadle will be great…at least much better than Howard for the role

@JD5DAD
RDJ and Favreau are Marvel’s family know. John will be directing several more of IM films and will be the director of the first Avengers film which, IHMO, is guaranteed to make more money than just about any film ever made and RDJ is signed on for several more films. Both will stay as long as they don’t ask for stupid control or rediculious money.

Isn’t he already signed into a contract? Or no? Anyway, if he’s not in the 3rd one, Iron Man will start going down the drain. I’m almost sure Marvel will at least do waht they need to do to keep RDJ. But everyone else might become expendable. But the thing is, I also think RDJ is enjoying the role and might want to stick around to finish it.

I liked Howard in the first film, but I honestly think Cheadle can do so much better in Iron Man II.

Personal life has no effect on acting ability, OGB. This is business.

I’m upset that Howard didn’t get back into the movie. He was a great Rhodey and I think they had a great chemistry between the characters. I like Cheadle and I can only hope that he does a great job, not being one that can have an effect on the outcome of hollywood decisions.

if howard followed the script and all, i think the Rhodey part was not really emphanized enough for me to say it was not good. Howard did for me exactly what i would have expected to see from Rhodes.
Now, if the character had a better script, i beleive people wouldnt have complained about him and liked his performance.

i do not like 1 bit that they changed him, but i will be happy with cheadle’s performance.
