Don Cheadle talks with Access Hollywood about his role in the upcoming action film “Iron Man 3″ by director Shane Black and starring Robert Downey Jr.

Cheadle plays Marty Kaan on Showtime’s “House of Lies,” and was asked about the shooting schedule.

“I have to shoot ‘Iron Man 3’ in May,” he told Access Hollywood recently as he promoted his hot cable show, which he stars in and executive produces. “It’s manageable. I can juggle it, so I’m good.”

The actor confirmed he has “seen a version of the script,” but joked it needed a little work.

“What did you think of it?” Access asked.

“I wasn’t in it enough, so they’re going to have to [go back to] the drawing board,” he said, tongue-in-cheek

“This one’s a lot more — the one I saw anyway, and it’ll change [in] five months, it’ll change a lot — but it’s a lot more, it’s more action packed,” Don told Access. “It’s crazy, it is though, it’s a lot more fun. I think the interplay between [Robert Downey Jr.’s] character and my character… My character is a lot more dynamic, so I’m looking forward to it.”

Synopsis: Iron Man gets a third outing fresh from his team-up with The Avengers in this Marvel Studios production. Robert Downey Jr. once again stars, with Shane Black taking over directing duties from Jon Favreau, who stepped down after a tumultuous Iron Man 2 shoot. Drew Pearce provides the script
