Terrence Howard Not Happy About Being Replaced By Don Cheadle In “Iron Man 2″

Image
Terrence Howard tells Parade magazine that he’s not too happy he won’t be in the new Iron Man movie: “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.” Please Terrence, Don Cheadle is a beast at everything he does. This will be no different!
