'Iron Man 2': Why Terrence Howard was recast | Iron Man | Movie News | Movies | Entertainment WeeklyWhy the Rhodey change?
Hollywood insiders believe the exit stems from Terrence Howard's difficult behavior on the set of Iron Man. But those with intimate knowledge of the situation suggest a far more dramatic backstory: Howard was the first actor signed to the film and, on top of that, was the highest-paid. That's right: more than Gwyneth Paltrow. More than Jeff Bridges. More than Robert Downey Jr. And once the project fully came together, it was too late to renegotiate his deal. It didn't help that, according to one source, Favreau and his producers were ultimately unhappy with Howard's performance, and spent a lot of time cutting and reshooting his scenes.

"This is the theme to Iron Man,
The theme to Iron Man.
Tony called me up and asked if I would right his theme song.
I'm almost halfway finished,
How do you like it so far,
How do you like the theme to Iron Man.
This is the theme to Iron Man,
The opening theme to Iron Man.
This is the music that you hear as you watch the credits.
We're almost to the part, of where Tony starts to drink.
Then we'll watch Tony vs War Machine."
That super villain looks lame.
