Terrance ‘Baby Wipes’ Howard is no longer set to play Iron Man’s sidekick:

The Oscar-nominated star of “Crash” and “Hustle and Flow” has been booted from “Iron Man 2,” and will be replaced by Don Cheadle, according to The Hollywood Reporter. His departure reportedly comes after negotiations between the actor and Marvel Studios broke down over financial considerations, “among other differences.” The actor’s reported disappearance from the franchise is both curious and startling, given how positively giddy he has sounded about continuing to work on the comic book adaptation, which set up an expanded role for the character in the series’ first installment.

Babywipes was just too soft as that character. Didn’t y’all see Dainty Dan tear up in a couple of scenes that did not call for it at all? SMH. Hopefully Don Cheadle can lend the role the manliness that it needs.
