Terrence Howard has spoken about his abrupt exit from the Iron Man sequel, and apparently, it's not at all his fault: "It was the surprise of a lifetime. There was no explanation. Just... up and vanished. I read something in the trades implicating that it was about money or something." C'mon Terrence, they just binned you for no reason whatsoever!? He added: "Apparently the contracts that we write and sign aren't worth the paper that they're printed on, sometimes. Promises aren't kept, and good faith negotiations aren't always held up. Even friendships, people you support." I'm sorry, but I'm not buying Howard's side of the story at all; there's no way Jon Favreau or Marvel would've screwed him for no reason.  Still, there's two sides to every story so we'll get the other in due course I'm sure.
