A Long Awaited Marvel Villain FINALLY Appears in IRONHEART

Based on strong rumors and industry reports, the article posits that the major villain revealed in the Ironheart finale will be Mephisto, played by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Here are the key points of the article's theory:

• The Main Villain vs. The Final Villain: While the series' primary antagonist is confirmed to be Parker Robbins, a.k.a. The Hood (played by Anthony Ramos), the article suggests he is not the ultimate threat.
• The Hood's Comic Origins: In the comics, The Hood gets his magical cloak and powers from a demon (often Dormammu). The article argues the MCU will substitute Mephisto as The Hood's demonic benefactor.
• Tech vs. Magic Theme: Ironheart is set to explore a conflict between Riri Williams' advanced technology and The Hood's dark magic. This thematic clash provides the perfect setup for revealing a master of magic and deals, like Mephisto, as the true power behind The Hood.
• Sacha Baron Cohen Casting: The theory is heavily supported by widespread and credible reports that Sacha Baron Cohen has been cast as Mephisto for the Ironheart series.
• Paying Off Fan Theories: Introducing Mephisto would finally deliver on years of fan speculation and theories, which reached a peak during WandaVision. It would formally introduce a major supernatural and cosmic threat into the MCU, connecting Ironheart to other mystical projects like Agatha: Darkhold Diaries.

In essence, the article concludes that The Hood will serve as the season's physical threat, but the finale will reveal he is merely a pawn for Mephisto, who will make his long-awaited MCU debut.
