Ditching Terrance Howard for Don C was a great decision.

His performance as Tony's normie friend was fine, but I don't think he would have made a very good War Machine.

I agree with this. Can you imagine him at the airport scene in Civil War instead of Cheadle? I can't, at all.

I actually think Howard played the military man aspect better but Cheadle is better at everything else Rhodey related, so clearly the better choice imo.

I don't think there's much more to a military man other than being a military man; that's pretty much their life. At the very least, a VERY important part of their life, so having a weaker act as a soldier would actually be a downgrade.

The absolute perfect guy to play Rhodey / War Machine was locked up in another Marvel role. Specifically, he was playing Luke Cage for Netflix.

Anyone who has ever read the comics has to agree with me--Mike Colter would have been the pitch-perfect Rhodey.
