The actor, who plays superhero Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr) confidant James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, also suggested that his character may get a War Machine movie spinoff.
"Iron Man 3 is coming back. We'll probably do that again in February and there's talk of a War Machine spinoff, which I guess, unless I get recast, I would probably do," he told Collider.
Asked if he'll be appearing in Marvel ensemble project The Avengers, featuring Iron Man, Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Cheadle said: "Not this one that they're shooting right now. Thank God!"
He continued: "I have a contract to be in The Avengers but I'm glad they haven't exercised that option yet. I need some down time."
Iron Man 3 is currently expected to hit cinemas on May 3, 2013, with Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) replacing Jon Favreau in the director's chair.
