Rama’s SCREEN

Many people are still upset over the recasting done in IRON MAN sequel camp, Don Cheadle in place of Terrence Howard as the new James “Rhodey” Rhodes a.k.a War Machine, there’s even a petition online to gather signatures as a sign of protest but of course it wouldn’t a thing to overturn what’s already set in motion.
But what does Mr. Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr. think of all this? Comicbookmovie got ask him that question recently and he responded with an open mind instead of being upset or siding one over the other, what a good sport, here’s what he said..

“I had nothing to do with that decision. I love Terrence very very much. That’s all I’ll say because I haven’t talked to him yet,” said Downey. “I’ve always admired Don [Cheadle]. It’s one of those situations where I still don’t quite know what happened or why. Here’s what happens too: things happen and you wind up commenting on them before you’ve actually talked to the people and it’s in poor taste.”

“I think the important thing with the ‘Iron Man’ franchise is to not do too much too soon and to make sure we don’t piss off the public that put us in the position we’re in. We’ve just got to keep rolling up our sleeves higher and further up the elbow. If we show up and we’re in the right head space and our heart’s in the right spot and we really think about the audience at every turn and we don’t try to stamp our hipness onto anything.”
