I can't stand it when loser movie execs change established characters to save a buck. I'm sure i'll get Iron Man on DVD, but I doubt I'll be wasting my money at the box office. No offense to Don. If they had established him in the first Iron Man, I wouldn't have a problem with him in the second one.
I support this petition. Why would you swap actors after dropping such a huge hint in the first movie. I never read Iron Man comics so I was unfamiliar with the story line and that Howard's character was destined to become war machine. So that was one of those moments in movie watching where a light bulb went off in my head...like Whoa! Now he is going to be replaced with someone else...that will ruin Iron Man 2 for me. Terrance Howard is such a good actor too.
