In het eerste deel van Iron Man speelde Terrence Howard nog de rol van Col. James 'Rhodey' Rhodes. Al enige tijd is bekend dat Howard niet terugkeert. Hieronder zie je de eerste foto van zijn vervanger Don Cheadle op de set van Iron Man 2.
Overigens heeft Terrence Howard zich onlangs weer eens uitgelaten over zijn afwezigheid in Iron Man 2:
"[Marvel] made a choice. They made a very, very bad choice. They didn't keep their word. They didn't honor our contract. They sent everyone out into a field and told them to work and produce a great bounty. You produce a great bounty, and then when it's all in the storehouse, you are not allowed into the storehouse. They did the same thing with Gwyneth [Paltrow], from what I've been told. They did it with almost everyone, I think, except Downey throughout the thing. One of the things that actors need to learn to do is take a tip from Friends [whose cast members all held out for higher pay]. You always choose to stick together. One for all and all for one. Our Gang, you know? Let Spanky be our rule."
