We finally know what happened between Terrence Howard and Marvel.
Terrence Howard was on the Bravo T.V. show called "Watch What Happens Live!" with host Andy Cohen. Howard was asked why he wasn't in the other Iron Man suits. He responded with:
"It turns out in order for - this is going to get me in a lot of trouble - it turns out that the person that I helped become Iron Man ... when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out."
"The word was that you wanted the same money as Downey," said Cohen.
“We did a three picture deal, so that means that you did the deal ahead of time. There was going to be a certain amount for the first one, a certain amount for the second, and a certain amount for the third. They came to me with the second and said, "Look, we will pay you one eighth of what we contractually had for you, because we think the second one will be successful with or without you. I called 'my friend' that I helped get the first job, and he didn't call me back for three months,''
Cohen asked how his relationship with his "friend" was now. Terrence responded maliciously with:
"Oh I love him, God's going to bless him."
I think it's interesting that Howard didn't mention what he thought about Don Cheadle's performance, or that he took the role. I'm sure there are other sides to this debacle. I hope Marvel, Robert Downey Jr., and Kevin Fiege respond back to this publicly because I really want to hear their side of this story.
