What’s your theory? Terrance just go flake, hey pay me rather than just stick to some brand name building? Cheadle will bring some off-intensity to the role. Yes, I said it. War Machine requires a little leading man magic.
If it was indeed all about money, then Terrence Howard is an idiot. He’s no Will Smith yet; far from it. While I think he saw the Iron Man franchise as his ticket to the A-list, I also think he was a bit too eager to get his own spin-off movie and perhaps was blinded by the $$$. Pure speculation, of course.
Still, there’s no doubt he was a terrific Rhodey. I think Don Cheadle will be a different kind of Rhodey, which I can live with although it could be a potentially rough transition. Doesn’t bode well for IM2 overall, but hopefully Jon Favreau can work with it.
