Terrence Howard, who played Jim Rhodes in the first Iron Man movie believes that the producers of the film made a very bad choice in deciding to replace him for the upcoming sequel.

As you probably know by now, actor Don Cheadle (Ocean’s Trilogy) has signed up to replace Howard for the sequel after Howard and Marvel disagreed over financial terms.

Howard, not at all sounding bitter, had this to say…

“Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice. They didn’t keep their word. They didn’t honor my contract. They produced a great bounty with the first one but they put it all in the storehouse and you were not allowed in. They did the same thing with Gwyneth Paltrow, from what I’ve been told. They did it with almost everyone except Robert Downey Jr. One of the things that actors need to learn to do is always stick together, one for all and all for one.”

If you ask me, it sounds like Howard got greedy and wanted more money, he played a little hardball, got struck out and now just wants to save face. I mean, name-dropping Gwyneth Paltrow like he did is shameless and belongs in the schoolyard.

Good riddance Mr. Howard.
