As an employee being offered a number drastically below his previously-agreed-upon rate, the only self-respecting thing for Howard to do was walk away. But complaining about only being paid over a million dollars — yeah, there's no way you're not gonna sound like a douchebag.

He would've been on set, what, a month? Fuck this. Too much money being passed around.
If only crew members & the special effects artists could play that game too. What? You want to take me away from my beach house for a month for only $1 million? No thank you.
Ugh

Understandable from their viewpoint, but they're the ones who paid him more than RDJ the first time around and them asked him to take a huge pay cut. (Assuming it's all how he says it is.)

He's just doing damage control because his own stupidity is killing his career, not Marvel or anyone else.

It's hard to relate to Terrence Howard's situation. "So what you're telling me is, I was paid 4.5mil for the first Iron Man, and now you're going to pay me 1 mil for Iron Man 2? No, I don't want to win the lottery every time someone asks me to portray a super hero."

I mean, I don't know… I don't live in that world. Jet fuel must be expensive.
