Terrence Howard And Robert Downey Jr.

The actor who would portray War Machine in Iron Man, Terrence Howard, was replaced in the film sequel. There were reports that director Jon Favreau wasn’t impressed with the actor’s performance to the point that he spent a lot of time reshooting his scenes. What’s even worse is that Howard blamed the Iron Man lead actor, Robert Downey Jr., for his falling out. On one occasion, he claimed that he’s the man responsible for helping RDJ land the iconic role, although Marvel Studios haven’t confirmed it. When it was time for Iron Man 2, actor Don Cheadle came to the rescue.

Years after the fiasco, it seemed that Howard has completely moved on from the issue. In an interview, he said he wasn’t holding any grudges, and added that leaving the project enabled him to focus on his education and earn a degree in chemical engineering.
