More details about Terrence Howard being recast in Iron Man 2 has been revealed – it was originally thought that Howard was too difficult to work with, but now insiders are revealing that he was the highest paid of all of the actors in Iron Man because he was signed first to the film.

Other reasons for Terrence Howard being bumped from the Iron Man sequel include his performance in this original, which apparently led to a lot of editing and reshoots. Director Jon Favreau has not yet commented on this rumor.

Don Cheadle will replace Terrence Howard as Col. Jim Rhodes.
