Don Cheadle Speaks About Iron Man 2

A recent IGN interview with Don Cheadle reveals a little bit more about how he was offered the part of James Rhodes in Iron Man 2.

IGN: How did you get involved with Iron Man 2?

Cheadle: 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. 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.

There are so many stories going around about the drama surrounding the re-casting of James Rhodes that I’m sure we’ll never know which is true.  This interview doesn’t really seem to enlighten us any more, but it’s interesting nonetheless.  Obviously news regarding these movies is pretty slow right now, so vague Don Cheadle quotes is all we got, ha!  It also gives me the opportunity to post this very peculiar picture of The Cheadle.  I wonder what that photo shoot was like.
