Casting don cheadle as war machine was always a mistake

[Max Power]

Really strange guy

 

[Marc Spector]

funny thing is he looks like a more full bird colonel than terrance would.

 

[old pig]

physically I don’t think him or terrence howard made for a good casting of james rhodes…but they were primarily in the armor anyway so it didn’t make a difference imo

I’ll reserve judgement till Iron Wars comes out, but for his stints in the MCU he has provided adequate on par comedic relief, not much outside of that.

Don Cheadle is 100 times the actor that Terrance is. The problem is that like with all their Black male characters (Save for T'Challa who they still disrespected) he was relegated to sidekick status because of


And even with his upcoming Armor Wars movie it's an open question as to whether or not those Marvel cacs will actually allow a Black man to be in charge.

The issue is that Terrence Howard had better onscreen chemistry with Robert Downey Jr than Cheadle does. Howard and Downey came off like they COULD be real life best friends. Cheadle can come off like he’s annoyed with Downey’s interpretation of Stark. I’d expect someone like Cheadle to smack the shyt outta Stark and ask him who the fukk he think he talking too.


Howard got fukked over by the studio because, not only did they NOT want to honor his contract, they wanted to pay him LESS than what he made on the first film and he (rightfully) told them to kiss his ass.


Its simply a case of certain factors that make an actor better for a particular role than a seemingly superior actor. Don Cheadle is also a better actor than Anthony Mackie, but Mackie makes a better Sam Wilson than Cheadle would have in my opinion.

Yea Anthony mackie is definitely a comic book hero, don seems more real if that makes any sense
Like I expect don to be in biographies, time period dramas not comic book supporting actor

Didn’t ole girl who played black widow have money issues with marvel too

 

[Won Won]

Howard got fukked over, but his zesty ass wasn’t believable as a military colonel

 

[Kurt off them percs]

Doesn't matter who the face is/was...a Man Friday character is still a Man Friday character.
