He was the first one to be cast in the original and now he's the first one to be booted from the sequel. The Hollywood Reporter states that Don Cheadle is stepping in to replace Terrence Howard in 'Iron Man 2,' Marvel Studios' sequel to its summer blockbuster.

In the movie, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's best friend and future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.
