Robert Downey Jr. on Terrence Howard’s Deprature…kind of

Robert Downey Jr. spoke to MTV regarding the recent casting switch of Terrence Howard to Don Cheadle.

“I think the important thing with the ‘Iron Man’ franchise is to not do too much too soon and to make sure we don’t piss off the public that put us in the position we’re in,” said Downey. “We’ve just got to keep rolling up our sleeves higher and further up the elbow. If we show up and we’re in the right head space and our heart’s in the right spot and we really think about the audience at every turn and we don’t try to stamp our hipness onto anything. It’s very interactive.”

He goes on to say;

“I’ve always admired Don [Cheadle],” said Downey. “It’s one of those situations where I still don’t quite know what happened or why. Here’s what happens too: things happen and you wind up commenting on them before you’ve actually talked to the people and it’s in poor taste.”

Soooo, he didn’t really say anything, which is a good thing.  Why would he say anything?  Just as he stated above, that would be in poor taste.  All that matters is that they are concerned with making this an even better film than the first one.  Next subject please.
