Being replaced is NEVER fun.

But for one star, the statement remains true: Everything thats supposed to happen happens for a reason.

Oscar Award-nominated star, Terrence Howard, remains nothing but positive after being replaced by "Crash" star Don Cheadle for the role of "Jim Rhodes/War Machine" in the already box office smash hit "Iron Man 2".

Even though the charismatic actor was saddened to learn he would not be returning for the role, he has no animosity towards the comic book franchise and its cast members.

"Despite the controversy, it was a wonderful split and I know it will do well" Howard said. "Robert Downey Jr. was born to play Tony Sparks".

Despite mixed reviews, "Iron Man 2" has already grossed $211.2 millon since its May 7 release.

Iron Man is in theaters now!!!
