Reason to bring Terrence Howard back in Iron Man 2

1. Most fans of a original movie REALLY care about the same actors being in sequels.

2. Most of these fans are what make a movie it's money.

3. Most of these fans WON'T go see Iron Man 2 because Terrence Howard is not in it.

4. 9 out of 10 people that see a movie WON'T review it!

5. 5 out of 10 people that saw Iron Man will go and see Iron Man 2 ONLY if the same actors are in it! (how do I know this? a quiz at my school)

6. Fans DO matter!

7. Fans want to see familiar faces in sequels! Why? So they don't waste their time wondering who the NEW guy is, but enjoy the movie and the same cast.

8. Most people won't research about the new Iron Man movie. They will find out about it in theaters and wonder WHY Terrence Howard is not there. Leading to a few fans NOT seeing the new Iron Man 2 movie.

9. Terrence Howard would take the role back IF the studio offered it to him! He LOVED playing in the first movie.

10. YOU HAD A CONTRACT! IF YOU WANT TO TEACH YOUR FANS ANYTHING, SHOW THEM THAT YOU CAN TAKE BACK TERRENCE HOWARD AND THAT IRON MAN 2 WILL BE A GREAT MOVIE WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST! NOT SOME NEW GUY THAT MOST ORDINARY PEOPLE {THAT AREN'T MARVEL FANS BUT JUST MOVIE BUFFS} WON'T WANT TO SEE IN THE PLACE OF TERRENCE HOWARD!

Your stats, while fake are also misleading and untruthful.

That being said, I'd have rather seen Howard back, but there have been a couple movie franchises that have changed actors and still succeeded. Let's be honest Howard was in about 10 minutes of Iron Man. People aren't going to boycott a highly anticipated movie because of a change in casting.

The Dark Knight had a casting change from Batman Begins and it did okay at the box office.

Both men are fine actors, Don Cheadle will do justice to the role, I'm sure.

This is my favorite message board posting ever.

I especially like reasons 5, 9 and 10.

Did you just say that movie buffs would rather see Terrance Howard than Don Cheadle?

Are you retarded? Granted Terrance was good in the first one and he's definitely a good actor. But he seriously only had like 15 minutes tops in the first movie. And Don Cheadle beats Howard at being a good actor anyday. This post was a large waste of my time.

Aren't you relieved to know your not a golem?

You take him back for the authenticity of his voice.

If you are old enough to remember Night Rider, you'll know that the sequel will never make it big, because it is not the same voice.

Do you know that a voice carries an actor or actress beyond what we can see? It is not their looks. That is a gift.

If he was taller, and a much better actor, Michael Jai White would be a better choice
