Robert Downey Jr. Loves Terrence Howard Too Much to Discuss His ‘Iron Man’ Exit
7:40AM STV | Having already dodged one crotch-burning close call this week, Robert Downey Jr. wasn’t about to set himself up for another one for the sadists at MTV. In an interview this afternoon, the Iron Man star hewed close to the Marvel party line when asked about the expulsion of co-star Terrence Howard from geek Eden in favour of an allegedly less-difficult Don Cheadle: More »
Spiteful ‘Iron Man’ Producers: We Never Liked Terrence Howard Anyway
9:47AM Kyle Buchanan | When it was announced that Don Cheadle would be taking on Terrence Howard’s role in Iron Man 2, a simple explanation of “financial differences” (as well as an inability to get the War Machine costume sufficiently baby-wiped) was all that was forthcoming from the filmmakers’ side. Then, Howard spoke to NPR and compared the Marvel braintrust to a non-singing network of pimps, forcing the filmmaking team to take the gloves off. Now, in a discussion with EW, sources close to Marvel and director Jon Favreau leaked the real details behind Howard’s firing, and they involve bad acting and one very surprising salary: More »

4:40AM STV | In an appearance Saturday on NPR’s Weekend Edition, Terrence Howard interrupted his discussion of his new album with a Zen meditation on his recent departure from the Iron Man franchise. And if it seemed unusual last week that Howard might bow out of the blockbuster’s sequel, leaving his role as Tony Stark confidante Jim Rhodes (and his own heroic alter-ego War Machine) to the capable, cheaper hands of Don Cheadle, the scenario didn’t get any clearer as the actor wavered between the high road and calling Marvel Studios a scandalous gang of thieves and pimps: More »
‘Iron Man 2′: Howard Out, Cheadle In
6:20AM Seth | Don Cheadle will replace Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2, whose deal with Marvel fell through over “financial differences.” Perhaps it came down to salary, but we’re pretty sure Marvel wasn’t so hot on the stipulation that Howard’s Seal/Heidi Klum song become the sequel’s “official love theme.” [THR] The Daily Show’s married correspondents Jason Jones and Samantha Bee are creating a CBS sitcom for themselves about “a celebrity chef (played by Jones) and the two women who run his cooking empire (one of whom will be played by Bee).” [Variety] After the jump: Which two new The CW series are circling the toilet?
