Iron has granted Marvel Fans’ long -lasting wish to introduce a much -discussed villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Mcu) – But the waiting was perhaps even longer if the story had gone in a different direction.
For the Disney+ The debut of the show at the end of June I sat down with producers Zoie Nagelhout and Sev Ohanian to talk about the Wonder TV original. As you can imagine, I couldn’t resist the chance to ask them That Grand revelation in the final of the series.
Full spoilers follow immediately before Ironheart Episode 6aka ‘the past is the past’. Don’t scroll past this point if you haven’t seen it yet!
Yes, Mephisto, whose MCU debut has been a hot topic of discussion since broadcasting HikingThe first Marvel TV program that will be released on Disney+ in January 2021 has finally found its way to Marvel’s Cinematic Juggernaut. Borat And The chicago test 7 Actor Sacha Baron Cohen is the star behind this demonic entity. For an emergency course on this demonstrably malignant character, I want you in the direction of Iron ending part.
Now, old Marvel Comic Book readers might wonder why Mephisto makes his long-awaited MCU arrival in Iron. Parker Robbins, also known as the hood, that the Marvel Phase 5 The primary antagonist of TV program, acquires his supernatural skills of Dormammu, the big bad of 2016s Doctor StrangeIn Marvel literature. Dormammu is even referred to in episodes 4 and 5, that is, before the great unveiling of Mephisto, who suggests that this cosmic entity removes the strings of the hood from the shade.
In IronHowever, Mephisto is responsible for giving these forces to Robbins through a dark magic-decked mantle with hood. So why did the creative team of the show not adapt the story of the Hood’s Origins Advertim to the comics?
“We knew that there had to be someone behind the Parker forces,” Nagelhout told me, “and we did play with a few ideas. As you know, Dormammu has quite heavy ties with Parker in the comics.
“But we finally started looking at what was the most thematic feeling,” said Nagelhout of IronThe antagonist-based bait and switch. “Which villain actually offered this show the same kind of payout that we were building? For us it was Mephisto. It was this concept of ambition versus what it would cost to achieve everything you want in life, and Mephisto fits so beautifully.”
As for why Cohen, who was Allegedly cast as Mephisto already in October 2022Was the right person to tackle such an extremely powerful being, Nagelhout added: “To be honest, Sacha was the only person we could really imagine.
“The idea came from Angela Barnes, who also directed that episode. As soon as we had presented him as the character, we couldn’t see it. We were lucky that he agreed to get on board, because he brought a really nice, scary, interesting version of this character to life that I don’t know if anyone else could have done.”
