I agree with Ben.

And at least Holmes and Maggie looked very very similair. Cheadle and Howard look NOTHING alike at all.

PS. Producer Gale Anne Hurd has CONFIRMED Norton is signed on to be in Avengers.

C'mon people, it's just Terrence Howard. It's not like they're replacing Al Pacino in "Godfather 2". He was in one Iron Man movie. One. And he had maybe 15 minutes of actual screen time in it. He was the sixth most important character in that movie behind Tony, Obidiah, Pepper, Jarvis and Yinsin. Go back and watch the movie again, but skip over any parts where Rhodey is involved, see if you actually miss him. He could have been edited out entirely and it wouldn't have affected the story one bit.

I think Howard sucks, I was relieved to hear they replaced him with Cheadle. As for the "and more" part of the Avengers team, we'll probably see Ant-Man & Wasp.

I still think the Incredible Hulk will be a villain, if not in the first Avengers movie, but perhaps in a sequel. Just think about the ending scene of TIH when Stark and General Ross discuss Hulk. It all adds up to Hulk being a villain. Plus, Hulk was an original member of the Avengers whereas Captain America was not. When Hulk left the team after realizing how fearful the Avengers were of his unstableness, the team went on search for the Hulk and eventually find Cap frozen in ice. They revive Cap and he joins the team. So I'm thinking perhaps Cap won't initially be in the first Avengers movie, especially considering the Captain America movie is set entirely during WWII, and only comes out about two months before the Avengers film. I'm thinking the Avengers will find Captain America in the Avengers movie, setting up a sequel where Cap officially joins the team, and they all take on Hulk.

Listen, Howard's role in "Iron Man" was just as big as Holmes' role in "Batman Begins". The change from Holmes to Gyllenhal did not affect "The Dark Knight". The change from Howard to Cheadle will affect the film very little, if at all!!!!
