I must say SWEET to the IM2 and Avengers confirmation (especially the confirmation of RDJ as Tony in the Avengers), but I do still wonder what actually happened with Terrence Howard.

and such a shitty way for him to find out about it, too :(

[crimsonquills.livejournal.com]

I've heard (just from other fans, not from any real source) that Terrence Howard is really awful to work with, but even if that's true, letting him find out like that was terrible unprofessional. :-(

Avengers & IM2:
SWEEEEEET!!!!

Rhodey:
WTF happened? WHAT HAPPENED with Terrence?!

Marvel replaced him with Cheadle

Howard didn't find out until the announcement.

Sadness all around. I actually liked Howard, although I found his voice to be a tinge effete.

Sadness. No Terrence. -_-

I actually don't like Don Cheadle :c I don't find him memorable. They need to work on getting Terrence back.

Aw man :-( Terrence... best of luck Mr Cheadle. You have big shoes to fill O_O

[velithya]

thank god they are keeping favreau.

edit: "It has already become apparent as we prep the movie for production, that the dynamic between Robert and Don will take 'Iron Man 2' to new heights," said Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios."

DOES THAT SOUND DODGY TO ANYONE ELSE

It sounds like code for
"Please don't kill us, this really was for the best. Trust us"

Which you know may or may not pan out.
-_-

Poor Terrance. I just don't see Don having the same vibe. It's a gamble to recast like that.

And why Terrance and not Halle. Seriously. -_-
Ok, granted different studios but still.

I thought you meant that you wanted Halle Berry to play Rhodey and I got confused.... @_@ My head hurts...
