Marvel has unveiled the first trailer for its upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart, showcasing Riri Williams' groundbreaking magic-infused Iron Man suit.
The Magic-Tech Revolution
The teaser features Dominique Thorne as genius inventor Riri Williams, who creates an unprecedented armor blending cutting-edge technology with mystical energy. The trailer also introduces her allies - a holographic AI recreation of her late friend Natalie (Lyric Ross from This Is Us) and an unidentified character played by Solo star Alden Ehrenreich.
This fusion of science and sorcery has reignited long-standing fan speculation about the potential debut of Marvel Comics' demonic villain Mephisto in the MCU.
Production History and Casting Rumors
Originally announced in 2020 as a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spinoff, Ironheart completed filming in 2022 but has remained unreleased until now. While production details have been scarce, multiple reports suggest Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen may appear in an undisclosed villainous role - potentially as the iconic comic book devil Mephisto.
The Hood's Mysterious Patron
The series explores Riri's connection with Parker Robbins (Hamilton's Anthony Ramos), better known as Marvel Comics villain The Hood. In the source material, Robbins gains powers from a magical cloak and eventually serves demonic entities. This storyline has fueled theories about:
- Mephisto making his MCU debut
- Possible cameos from previously established mystical characters
- The Hood's transformation from ally to antagonist
While Dormammu has previously filled this role in the comics, Marvel may be introducing Mephisto instead - with Baron Cohen rumored to portray the devilish character.
Ironheart premieres June 24, 2025 on Disney+, with the first three episodes dropping simultaneously.
