First look at Don Cheadle as ‘Rhodey’ in Iron Man 2


Shooting is underway on the set of Iron Man 2 and with that comes our first look at the only major recasting, Don Cheadle stepping in for Terrance Howard as Rhodey. Personally I like Cheadle as an actor a whole lot better than Howard, that being said I definatley feel that Howard is more belivable as the man that will become War Machine. That thought may be unfounded as it is based soley on physical size, with Cheadle being a much smaller man and since size matters not when your wearing a 2 billion dollar suit of armor there's no reason to doubt Cheadles belivability. (Award for longest run on sentance goes to me!) What do you guys think?

Thanks to /Film for the image.

  1. Actually, that was a great choice. Now, why anyone would pass up the opportunity to be in another Iron Man is beyond me...

  2. It seemed like it wasn't really Howard's decision. Marvel didn't want to pay him, especially for what is essentially a co-starring role. I still don't know how I feel about Cheadle as Rhodey. I love him as an actor, but he doesn't seem to have the right look for the part.
