Ironheart Trailer Teases Mystic Iron Man Suit, Mephisto Buzz

Marvel reveals a brand-new trailer for the upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart, featuring Riri Williams wielding a mystical Iron Man-inspired armor.

The preview introduces Williams (Dominique Thorne)'s companions, including her late friend Natalie (This Is Us' Lyric Ross), who returns as an AI hologram, and a mystery character portrayed by Solo: A Star Wars Story's Alden Ehrenreich.

The trailer's most striking moment shows Williams engineering a revolutionary suit that combines cutting-edge technology with sorcery akin to Wanda Maximoff and Doctor Strange—fueling renewed speculation about Mephisto's potential MCU debut.

Ironheart's development spans years—first announced in 2020 as a Black Panther: Wakanda Forever spinoff, filmed in 2022, and finally nearing its June 2025 premiere.

Though unconfirmed, Deadline reports suggest Sacha Baron Cohen joined the cast in a covert role—widely believed to be the iconic villain Mephisto.

The show's fusion of science and mysticism hints at supernatural forces brewing beneath its MIT backdrop. Previous teasers highlighted Williams' connection with Parker Robbins (Hamilton's Anthony Ramos), a Marvel Comics antihero who may introduce her to arcane arts.

Comics enthusiasts recognize The Hood as a magic-wielding criminal, and theorists predict Robbins' dynamic with Williams will sour—possibly corrupted by a greater supernatural entity.

This looming threat? Evidence points to Mephisto, a long-anticipated MCU addition since WandaVision. While The Hood traditionally draws power from Dormammu (introduced in Doctor Strange), Marvel appears to have reserved Baron Cohen for a different diabolical role.

Notably, Mephisto's penchant for minimalist attire aligns well with the Borat actor's comedic flair.

Ironheart premieres June 24, 2025, with three episodes launching simultaneously on Disney+.
