I figured

I get it. I know why Terrence Howard will not be acting in Iron Man 2. I know why he would not be recast.

They say that its about money issues and stuff, they're right, but it has nothing to do with Terrence Howard. trust me.

The answer lies in this:

























Yes. Its Robert Downey Jr.'s fault. Since Tropic Thunder, the director's of Iron Man realised Downey can act as a black guy, so they decided to recast the war machine character- Col. Jim Rhodes as Downey, that way, not only do they have to pay for one less actor, audience can enjoy double screen pressense of Downey the Ironman, and Downey the Warmachine.

I rest my case.
