‘What the F*ck’: Don Cheadle Reacts to Robert Downey Jr.’s MCU Return

It seems that everyone was blindsided by Robert Downey Jr. ‘s surprise MCU return as Dr. Doom, even one of his closest co-stars, Don Cheadle. Cheadle plays Colonel Rhodey Rhodes, a.k.a War Machine, in the MCU. The character was first played by Terrence Howard in Iron Man, but Cheadle was recast in the role for Iron Man 2, and all subsequent MCU movies. Downey Jr.’s MCU return was announced at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and caught the entire fan base off-guard.
