Por que Terrence Howard não tocou Jim Rhodes (Rhodey) em Homem de Ferro 2?

21

Terrence Howard interpretou Rhodey em Homem de Ferro, mas Don Cheadle interpretou o personagem em Homem de Ferro 2.

Houve alguma razão particular pela qual Terrence Howard não continuou no papel?

Não há nenhuma palavra oficial sobre o motivo real para substituir Terrence Howard da segunda parcela do filme. No entanto, existem algumas razões especulativas, que estavam fazendo rondas na indústria sobre a sua partida ou melhor dizer despejo de Homem de Ferro 2 e a principal coisa que continuou chegando foi ..

Negociação de contratos

De acordo com o Entertainment Weekly , Howard foi o ator mais bem pago no primeiro filme, e a Marvel estava achando difícil renegociar o acordo com ele para o Iron Man 2.

“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.”

Também foi relatado que o diretor Jon Favreau não estava feliz com o trabalho de Howard. Citando o mesmo artigo, mencionado acima

Favreau and his producers were ultimately unhappy with Howard's performance, and spent a lot of time cutting and reshooting his scenes

A infelicidade com o trabalho de Howard levou Favreau e seu roteirista a reduzir o papel do personagem de Howard na próxima edição.

As such, when Favreau and screenwriter Justin Theroux went to map out the sequel they found themselves minimizing Howard's story line. Once Marvel learned that Favreau was thinking of curtailing the role, the studio went to the actor's agents with a new and drastically reduced offer — a number that's similar to what supporting cast members were paid for the first movie. The agents, according to sources, were so taken aback by this new figure — estimated at somewhere between a 50 and 80 percent pay cut — that they questioned it

A Marvel nunca comentou oficialmente as especulações acima.

É devido ao enorme corte de pagamento, como sugerem boatos e até mesmo devido ao corte de papéis, como indicado na resposta do @Incognito.

Aqui está a reação de Howard sobre a remoção do Homem de Ferro 2 -

"Marvel made a choice, and it was a very, very bad choice. They didn't keep their word. They didn't honor my contract," Howard tells Parade magazine. "They produced a great bounty with the first one but they put it all in the storehouse and you were not allowed in.

"They did the same thing with Gwyneth Paltrow, from what I've been told. They did with almost everyone except Robert Downey. One of the things that actors need to learn to do is always stick together, one for all and all for one."

"I've seen the Iron Man 2 script, I know what's going to happen, but I'm not revealing anything. I believe in karma. When someone does something wrong, you don't have to get them back. Everything right will return the favor for you."

"I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the movie," says Howard. "I want to see Don Cheadle become me. No, I want him to do better than me. That's what I really want to see. Don Cheadle was the reason I got Crash, so I have a lot of love for him." (source)
