In a world where a character loses their actor because of their actor’s garbage behavior and is in need of replacement, there is only one man we can call. One man renowned for his skills in replacing actors in the Jon Favreau Cinematic Universe. One man who isnt transphobic and doesn’t compare being conservative to being a Jewish person in the holocaust. One man who isnt an anti-masker. One man who has stolen our hearts time and time again. That man? Don Cheadle. Join our cause to recast Cara Dune as Don Cheadle. He’s the only man for the job. We need the Cheadle. Yes we can.
