The latest casting news for the Iron Man movie is Terence Howard of Hustle & Flow fame. He'll play Jim Rhodes, an old friend of Tony Stark who served as Tony's personal pilot for a while, impersonated Iron Man on more than one occasion and eventually became the superhero War Machine with the help of an Iron Man-esque armor suit from Stark Industries. In case you didn't already know, Robert Downey, Jr. will play Tony Stark/Iron Man. I'd say this flick is off to a good start with the casting choices. My bet is that we wouldn't see anything of War Machine until a sequel or two later. I wish Jon Favreau all the luck in directing this flick. As fan of the comics and Favreau, I hope this helps keep Marvel movie standards up high like the X-Men and Spider-Man moves have done.
