Samuel L. Jackson Talks Briefly On 'Iron Man 2' and Don Cheadle

Posted Oct 19th 2008 4:17PM by Wilson Morales
Filed under: It's All Reel, Entertainment


While doing interviews for his latest film, 'Soul Men' in Los Angeles, Samuel L. Jackson talked briefly about his return as Nick Fury in the sequel to 'Iron Man' and working with Don Cheadle, who has replaced Terrence Howard in the role of Jim Rhodes. In the first film, Nick Fury appears to Tony Stark in his house letting him know that he wants to start the Avengers initiative.

Are we going to see more of Nick Fury in 'Iron Man 2'?

Samuel L. Jackson: I saw Jon Favreau last night (at the Scream Awards), and he told me we were. I was standing next to George Lucas and he said to me, 'Hey! I hope you are making your deal with them (Paramount)' and I was like, 'Really' (Laughs)

Are you excited to be working with Don Cheadle?

SLJ: Yes. Don and I are good friends and I think it's going to be an exciting difference. We'll see what happens. It's kind of amazing how (the switch from Terrence Howard to Don Cheadle) that happened.

2. Don Cheadle for war machine wtf are they dumb this guy looks like he smokes crack in between filming. The next title should be called Iron man 2 the fall of a sequel.

3. I think Terrence Howard is an extraordinary actor, and the Rhodey character fits him perfectly. Im so sad to know that Don Cheadle would replace him on thi roll, this kind of movies aren't what he usually does, not even this roll. He's a graet actor, but they're making a big mistake on giving him the roll of James Rhodes.

4. Am a little nervous ma self, but he's a good actor, u guys need to give change a chance cause like or not he's comin!

5. I agree.

Michael Jai White would be perfect for War Machine.

No offense to Don Cheadle. He's a good actor, but every role isn't for everybody.

regg at 7:22AM on Oct 21st 2008

6. The whole Don Cheadle thing is the biggest load of crap ever! Why would they replace Terence Howard?! Why are they being so stupid? Howard was great in Iron Man! I absolutely despise when they change actors for the same character! WTF??!!

7. IS EVERYONE FORGETTING ABOUT - THE BLACK PANTHER?

ONE OF THESE GREAT ACTORS NEEDS TO PLAY THIS PART!

JINX_PLM at 11:03AM on Oct 21st 2008

8. if Don Che pulls it off with gravity and energy like twoface i wont mind even if he aint the right cast for WM

Gepeto at 11:53AM on Oct 21st 2008

9. You know for some reason I think that Don Cheadle was a poor choice and what in the world did they move from Terrance Howard to this guy? Believe me he don't even fit the bill to me and why would they put this wrong face in this movie I don't know, I am so bummed out on that I was looking forward to seeing Terrance Howard come back for this role to me he really did fit...

Belinda at 12:36PM on Oct 21st 2008

10. I really don't see what there is to miss about Terence Howard. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Don Cheadle was a good choice for Jim Rhodes, either. However, I felt his performance, (given his role in the film), should have been more 'hard-edged'. He just didn't exude the presence of a leader of any kind. He barely seems like he could lead a band kittens to raid the food dish.

11. I agree with Regg!

Lites at 2:29PM on Oct 21st 2008

12. L.L. cool J would be a better choice than Don Cheadle also Shemar Moore

Connie at 5:36PM on Oct 21st 2008

13. I recall that when Robert Downey Jr. was cast as "IRON MAN" that folks couldn't picture him in the role. Mainly due to his background and physical stature. But we all must admit...he was damn good in the role. Don Cheadle will pull this off folks. Stop looking at the form and look at the substance. He's an actor and will do a good job.

AL at 5:57PM on Oct 21st 2008

14. I LOVE DON CHEADLE HE IS A GREAT ACTOR TOP OF THE LINE AND ALSO A GREAT HUMANATARIAN FOR AFRICA AND THEIR PLIGHT, PLEASE DON'T DISS THE MAN!!! AIN'T NO CALL FOR THAT! GIVE THE MAN A CHANCE CHECK OUT THE MOVIE FIRST AND THEN COME BACK AND GIVE YOUR OPINION, I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF YOUR MOVIES?? SO BACDAFUCUP!! STOP SAYING IGNORANT STUFF ( KHUJO )THIS IS JUST ENTERTAINMENT, HOLLYWOOD KNOWS WHAT MAKES A MOVIE GREAT, I LOVED TERRENCE HOWARD AND I'M GONNA LOVE DON CHEADLE, I'M HAPPY TO SEE SOME BLACK ACTORS GETTING PAID AND MAKING A LIVING, SO YOU BE HAPPY TOO, AND LETS ERASE THE HATE WITHIN OUR RACE, AND LETS BE GLAD THAT THE CAST SAMUAL JACKSON AS NICK FURY, THEY COULD HAVE MADE THAT A WHITE ROLE EASILY, SO I AM THANKFUL THAT THE BROTHERS GOT THE OPPURTUNITY, PEACE TO EVERYONE AND EVERY RACE I LOVE YOU ALL AND GOD LOVES YOU TOO!! MARINATE ON THAT!!
