Terrence Howard Replaced as War Machine!

Talk about shocking. I woke up this morning to an uproar in my inbox and on twitter about Terrence Howard no longer being involved with Iron Man 2. After doing some leg work it seems that Reuters is the source of the rumor. They are sourcing insiders as saying that Don Cheadle will replace Terrence Howard as War Machine in Iron Man 2. They source financial reasons which typically means Terrence wanted to much money. This is SHOCKING news. As much as Don is a fantastic actor I was so excited to see Terrence don the War Machine gettup I just can not picture anyone else playing the role.

The story of Iron Man 2 will focus on the outcome of Tony Stark announcing at the end of the first one that he is Iron Man and the complications that brings into his personal life. Add to that the Mandarin and the 10 Rings which were hinted at in the first one and we are assured a really great villain. Jon also suggested they migh add a female villain angle which will spice things up quite a bit.
