For those of you that saw Iron Man at the start of this summer, you're probably anxiously waiting on its follow-up (along with The Avengers movie). But if you haven't heard, there have been some minor changes to the cast in Iron Man 2.
Terrance Howard who played James "Rhodey" Roads has been replaced by Don Cheadle.
While there isn't a full understanding of why Howard was let go, a few whispers have been picked up. One such rumor is that Terrance Howard was the highest paid actor on the film, apparently he made more money than Robert Downey Jr. A second rumor is that the director, Jon Favreau, and the producers were not happy with Howard's performance in the film, and had to cut around it to make it fit what they wanted.
It's not like this is a terrible loss though, they dropped one award winner and picked up another one. Even if Terrance Howard was still in the film I would be excited about it, but I think I find myself more excited about War Machine with Cheadle in the suit.

I can't imagine either of the rumors really being true. I think it's just a matter of Howard asking for more money, and not getting it, thus leaving. Though, Howard's hinted more at a fallout between him and Jon Favreau as friends. But then again, this is all hearsay from other sources and an interview with Howard from NPR.
