Iron Man 2
Justin Theroux, who did the script, spoke here to MTV about the Jim Rhodes role saying: "I can't really speak to the plot stuff and all the rest of it but Rhodes is completely present in a very strong and big way. He's COMPLETELY present." Don Cheadle (who plays Rhodes in the film) says here in IGN where he said: "I got a phone call from my agent saying they were offering me the part. That was kind of it. It happened very fast, and I had a very short time to answer. Literally, overnight. I was unaware of what was happening with Terrence [Howard]. And when they called me I asked what was going on with Terrence. I've worked with Terrence, I've known Terrence for a long time. And they said they were moving away from him. So it's not like I was taking Terrence's job, because the job was already gone. Someone else was going to do the part. I don't know who the next person in line was, but that's who they were going to. And I literally had a few hours to accept the job or not." The sequel, directed by Jon Favreau, is set to open on May 7, 2010.
