MCU Rumor Reveals Anthony Ramos’ Marvel Supervillain
While Mrs. Marvel introduced audiences to Kamala Khan ahead of her big screen role in The Marvels, the MCU intends to do the opposite with the genius, teenager and friend of Wakanda, Riri Williams. After her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda ForeverDominque Thorne’s Riri Williams is confirmed to receive her own series, Iron hearton Disney+ in late 2023.
What Marvel Studios has revealed about Iron heart so far, Riri is designing an advanced suit of armor a’ la Iron Man and is confirmed to be joined by Harper Anthony, Alden Ehrenreich, Shea Couleé and Anthony Ramos.
Although fans do not yet know who these stars will star in Iron heartthere has been plenty of speculation, discussion, and now newfound support for who Anthony Ramos will portray in the MCU in 2023.
More rumors about Anthony Ramos’ Ironheart villain
In support of a rumor that Anthony Ramos had been cast as The Hood in a villainous role for Iron heartThe Cosmic Circus has given this claim further credence by claiming to have heard the same information from sources.
In the comics, The Hood is a magic user named Parker Robbins who acquires a magical set of boots and a cloak that gives him both invisibility and teleportation. However, he is not known to be a villain in print.
Anthony Ramos is best known for starring in Hamilton and as the title character in the 2021s In the Heights. News that Ramos has been cast in a key role for Iron heart was first reported back in February.
How Hood is like Kang the Conqueror
If these rumors turn out to be true, it’s surprising that Ramos is playing The Hood in a villainous role because, again, The Hood isn’t typically an antagonist.
But when Ramos was first cast, there was information that suggested that Iron heart was the only beginning of Ramos’ role in the MCU, similar to Jonathon Major’s in Loki if Kang the Conqueror is confirmed to debut in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Qauntumania and in Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
If so, maybe there are plans to redeem his character before he moves on to other MCU projects?
Another reason The Hood is an interesting choice is that he is a character rooted in magic as opposed to technology. Since Iron heart‘s Riri Williams is a technical genius, and forcing her to go toe-to-toe with someone a little more mysterious is sure to be a challenge and a fascinating contrast.
Marvel fans will probably get an idea of what to expect from this Disney+ series Black Panther: Wakanda Forever debuts on November 11, 2022. Marvel Studios may also have new information to share Iron heart at the D23 Expo on September 10.
Iron heart expected to debut on Disney+ in late 2023.
