Robert Downey Jr. vs. Terrence Howard
Terrence Howard accused Robert Downey Jr. of orchestrating his exit from "Iron Man" and withholding his rightful compensation. Howard claimed that despite initially being offered a three-picture deal, he was eventually dropped from the sequel, and Downey Jr. took his pay. Howard asserted that, after signing a contract for three movies, he was informed just before the second film's production that he would receive only "one eighth" of the agreed-upon payment. Howard sought help from Downey Jr., but he allegedly received no response until three months later. Don Cheadle replaced Howard as Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes in the second "Iron Man" film.
