Sadly Howard appears to have eliminated himself in a bout of swagger. Granted Cheedle is a heavyweight thespian and will do a better job with one arm tied behind his back. Still I was hoping to see a young star continue asending. Been watching Howard the last couple of years and he is growing as an actor. Perhaps this misstep will prove more instructive in the long run. Can't wait to see the sequel. I was so looking forward to seeing Howard in the sequel that I admit to being deeply disappointed.

I believe that this is the difference between marvel movies before Marvel Studios and now. I feel that there is a greater value placed on the quality of the actors in the picture and I believe that it will show on film. In much the same way that I feel the acting in say..fantastic 4, for example, was serviceable but didn't help drive the movie forward, I feel about Terrence Howard's Jim Rhodes. Perhaps, in a role that doesn't require the emotion that I imagine this role will in IM2, Terrence's soft spoken subtlety could flourish, but I don't think he can truly capture War Machine. By going after someone with the acting chops that Don Cheadle clearly possesses I feel even better about the future of this franchise than I previously did.
