So check this out, the news broke out last week that Terrence Howard would not be playing the role of James “Rhodey” Rhodes in “Iron Man 2 ” because of a financial dispute with production. Don Cheadle was hired for the role because SUPPOSEDLY Howard backed out because a financial agreement could not be met. Well, Howard says the story is BOGUS. Terrence Howard says he was surprised to learn that Don Cheadle would replace him in “Iron Man 2.” During a recent interview, Howard says:

“It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation, [it] just up and vanished. And I read something in the trades that implicated it was about money… but apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren’t worth the paper that they’re printed on sometimes. And promises aren’t kept, and good faith negotiations aren’t always held up.”
Marvel Studios, who produced “Iron Man,” offered no comment when the story originally broke. But The Hollywood Reporter spoke to sources who stated that negotiations with the actor “fell through over financial differences,” which Howard disputes.

Do you think thats messed up?
