Terrence Howard
From Marvel Movies
Terrence Howard is an Academy Award nominated American actor who portrayed Rhodey in Iron Man.
According to Howard, he took the role because of Robert Downey Jr.'s involvement on the project:
| Getting the chance to work with Robert Downey Jr. attracted me to the role more than anything else. I first saw him in `Weird Science' and thought he was hilarious, and then when he did `Chaplin' I realized he was a genius.[1]

Howard is also looking forward to the chance to play Rhodes' comic book alter-ego, War Machine, in a sequel. He says that he's pleased with the audience response to a hint that he'd like to fly as well:
|
| I'm pretty sure we're gonna go there. The response to even that one little statement, the roar in the audience ... I didn't know that War Machine was so beloved or anticipated until sitting in an audience and hearing that. [2]

He says that much of his role was cut from the finished film:
|
| There was a lot more of me before. In the film that we shot, there was a whole lot of me, and then I got a call from Jon [director Jon Favreau), I guess, mid-February, late January. He was like, "How you doing?" I was like, "Cool." He said, "Yeah, so, we're working on the film." I was like, "Yeah, how's it coming out?" He said, "It's great. It's great. It's great. But we had to make some cuts. Everybody took a hit, but Rhodey took a big hit. Rhodey took a real big hit." I was like, "How big of a hit? If I was 6 feet tall at the beginning, how tall am I now?" He said, "You're about an action figure size. You'll fit right on the shelf." [2]
