Much ink was spilled about Don Cheadle taking over for Terrence Howard in the role of James “Rhodey” Rhodes in the MCU back in 2008. Fifteen years later, the Armor Wars actor is setting the record straight about what happened behind the scenes.
In GQ’s character breakdown series on YouTube, Cheadle refuted the claims he “Aunt Viv’d” Terrence Howard, saying “I did not move Terrence out of a role,” and that Rhodey was “an open part” when it was offered to him.
