Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark in ‘Avengers’

Great news for all Robert Downey Jr. fans! Marvel Studios today announced the actor will appear as Tony Stark in the upcoming “The Avengers.”

In the film, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk and others team up to battle the biggest foe they've ever faced.

We obviously knew Downey Jr. would return as Stark in “Iron Man 2,” but this is definitely an awesome update. Who could have honestly replaced him? Right, nobody!

Marvel also announced that Jon Favreau will serve as executice producer on the “Avengers” project, which is currently scheduled for a 2011 release. Favreau also returns behind the camera for the anticipated “Iron Man” sequel.

In related news, the studio officially confirmed Don Cheadle will play James Rhodes in “Iron Man 2” and “The Avengers.”

Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, said he’s excited about working with Cheadle.

“It has already become apparent as we prep the movie for production, that the dynamic between Robert and Don will take 'Iron Man 2' to new heights," he said.

As I mentioned last week, I absolutely loved Terrence Howard as Rhodes in the first movie, and while I’m sad he’ll not return, I’m sure Cheadle will do just fine.

Don Cheadle to replace Howard in ‘Iron Man 2’

I was really looking forward to Terrence Howard’s return as Jim Rhodes in Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man 2,” but according to the Hollywood Reporter, the actor won’t be part of the cast anymore.

The trade says Marvel Studios was unable to close a deal with the actor. No official reasons have been released at this stage, but rumors are Howard and Marvel couldn’t agree on the financial aspects.

The good news is Don Cheadle has signed on to replace Howard as Rhodes, Tony Stark’s best friend and the future War Machine. Whether Cheadle handles the role as smoothly as Howard remains to be seen.

Downey Jr. will return as Stark in the sequel, which is scheduled for release in 2010. Justin Theroux is working on the script, with Favreau back in the director’s chair.

While I adore Howard as an actor, I am sure Cheadle is a solid choice for the part. Last seen in “Traitor,” he’s currently shooting “Brooklyn’s Finest” for Antoine Fuqua.

What do you guys think about this replacement? Excited? Disappointed? Sound off below.
