Aw damn it - Terrence Howard not back for Iron Man 2

Don Cheadle Replaces Terrence Howard in Iron Man sequel

Well, shit. I really liked Howard in the role. This movie is likely to be just as big as the first one, so why the hell would anyone back out over "financial differences"??? Especially since Rhodes is supposed to have an expanded role in the sequel as War Machine; Howard was even enthusing over a possible War Machine film of his own.

I like Cheadle, but I don't really see him as the superhero type. Howard fit that much better, IMO. Man, what a bonehead move.
