Told ya' so... Terrence Howard is Jim Rhodes in IRON MAN!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Don't want to rub it in, but I told ya' so. Click here for our August 1st article where we nailed this bit of casting.

First, Robert Downey Jr. playing Tony Stark and now Terrence Howard is Rhodey (confirmed by the trades this morning), who in the comics took over the IRON MAN armor when Stark got tired of it... then was given that cool-ass silver and black WAR MACHINE armor when Stark wanted his old duds back. So far Favreau is 2 for 2 with his casting. I get more and more excited about this project with every little bit of info that comes out. Favreau is certainly putting the goods in front of the camera! Can't wait to see what all these elements look like when mixed together and spilled onto that silver screen!!! What about you?
