Don Cheadle Shows His Excitement in Not Being in ‘The Avengers’

Here’s an interview with Don Cheadle on whether he’ll be in Iron Man 3 or have a War Machine spinoff. He also talks about how he is happy that he’s not in The Avengers. Wow, way to show your enthusiasm for the property. I say we get another actor to play James Rhodes. Marvel Studios has already recast him once.

Q: Are there any future Marvel movies that you might be appearing in?

DC: Well the Iron Man 3 is coming back. We’ll probably do that again in February and there’s talk of a War Machine spinoff, which I guess, unless I get recast, I would probably do.

Q: Will you be in The Avengers?

DC: Not this one that they’re shooting right now. Thank god!

Q: Was that ever in the works?

DC: Me being in The Avengers? I have a contract to be in The Avengers but I’m glad they haven’t exercised that option yet. I need some down time.

The Avengers will hit theaters without Don Cheadle on May 4, 2012.
