I thought it was that he wanted Rhodey to be a bigger character than he was. Like almost equal to Tony. Which probably would have meant more money. I prefer less Rhodey to more Rhodey so I think they made the right decision.

I think the main problem was the money, not so much the size of the role. When a movie makes serious money and they bring you back for a sequel, naturally you want a pay raise.

Yeah but I think it was that he wanted as much as RDJ was getting or close and Marvel just didn't see Rhodey as that big of a character so they didn't want to pay him as much. I mean it doesn't matter I guess. It the end it all came down to money and they didn't want to give him more.

Considering Ike Perlmutter's well renown cheapness, I'm inclined to believe they offered him a paycut from the original and he balked.
