Avengers officially Assembling

October 28th, 2008, 9:38 pm by Chris "KeL" Adams

Marvel announced today that Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle will be appearing in Iron Man 2 as well as 2011’s Avengers movie. Downey Jr. will be reprising his role as Tony Stark/Iron Man, while Don Cheadle will be replacing Terrence Howard as James “Rhodey” Rhodes. Director Jon Favreau will also be returning for Iron Man 2 and will be an executive producer on Avengers.

I thought Terrence Howard did a nice job as Rhodey, but I’m a big fan of Don Cheadle (check out “Devil in a Blue Dress” if you haven’t seen it. ), so I’m excited to see this change. It’s looking like we’re going to get to see quite a bit more of the character in the sequel, including him suiting up in the War Machine armor.

Jackson) shows up to recruit Tony Stark for the “Avengers Initiative”, but we didn’t realize Marvel Studios would deliver so quickly.
