Don Cheadle Only Had an Hour to Decide Whether or Not to Join the Marvel Universe

Don Cheadle made an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday (February 12) and described the day he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“I was at my daughter’s birthday party and I got a call and they said, ‘OK, it’s gonna happen. The offer is going to you,” the 54-year-old actor, who plays War Machine, recalled. “But we need this to happen kinda quickly, so we’re gonna give you an hour to decide. I said, ‘An hour? It’s like eight movies!’”

“You decide and it’s the whole run of it,” Don continued. “I’m like that could be like ten or twelve years. I said, ‘I’m at my daughter’s birthday party,’ and they were like, ‘oh, take two hours’.”

Don also talked about getting ready to host Saturday Night Live for the first time and working with Seth Rogen on his new show Black Monday – Watch more after the cut!
