Terrence Howard to play Nelson Mandela

Morgan Freeman did such a great job as Nelson Mandela in "Invictus," and now Terrence Howard will give it a shot too, even though he's not the main focus. Howard will play Mandela in in Darrell J. Roodt's upcoming film "Winnie," a drama focusing on Nelson Mandela's former wife Winnie Mandela.

Jennifer Hudson plays Winnie in the film based on Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob's biography “Winnie Mandela: A Life." Andre Pieterse, Roodt and Paul L. Johnson penned the script. Howard has "Red Tails" coming soon. (Source: The Hollywood Reporter)
