DON CHEADLE GETS IRON MAN...TERRANCE HOWARD GETS OUT

In news that reeks of how things work in Hollywood, it's being reported that Don Cheadle will replace Terrance Howard as Robert Downey Jr's best friend, Jim Rhodes, in "Iron Man 2." According to the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has no comment about the sudden move.

However, sources are saying that negotiations with Howard over salary where the main reason for the downturn, among other reasons. Reasons such as Marvel wanting to work with Cheadle. I mean like who doesn't. Don Cheadle is the greatest.

The Rhodes character is expected to be a much larger part of the sequel and the rest of the cast, Downey and Paltrow are expected to return. "Iron Man 2" is scheduled for release on May 7, 2010.
