At the gates of Marvel Studios, the stars were always milling about. Although Catherine Deneuve will play the superhero in the new project, it is another famous person who will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Rumors have been circulating for some time now, but a new source seems to confirm his presence in one of the firm’s next series.
And it’s a comedy star: Sacha Baron Cohen! Borat and Ali G will be the translator for the Ironheart series, which centers on Riri Williams’ (Dominic Thorne) character in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
According to SoonA new Ironheart copyright file confirms Sacha Baron Cohen in the cast of the next Marvel series. On September 21, Marvel Studios registered Ironheart with the United States Copyright Office.
Sacha Baron Cohen in Marvel!
And, in addition to a brief description of the series, the file contained Sacha Baron Cohen’s name and role as “Mystery Man.” This is of course a code name to hide the true identity of the character played by the actor and comedian.
Some insiders mentioned the character of Mephisto as being known DeadlineBut there is nothing to support this theory, which was later rejected.
Originally slated for a fall 2023 release, Ironheart is one of several Marvel series that has been delayed due to the writers’ strike — which has since officially ended — and the actors’ strike, which is still ongoing. At the moment, the series does not have an official release date on Disney+.
Created by Chinaka Hodge (Snowpiercer, The Midnight Club), Ironheart follows Riri Williams, a young MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) prodigy who continues her quest to develop a technological suit of armor comparable to that of Iron Man. Conflict between Wakanda and Talokan.
This genius inventor is determined to leave his mark on the world. But his unique approach to building metal armor is brilliant and… room for improvement! Ironheart explores the dynamic of technology versus magic. The young woman will also have to face off against Parker Robbins, aka The Hood.
The cast includes Dominic Thorne reprising his role as Riri Williams, Anthony Ramos (A Star Is Born, Where We Come From), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Lyric Ross (This Is Us), Jim Rush (Community) and Manny Montana (Good Girls ).
Drag queen Shea Kule, superstar of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, is also part of the cast. Just like Sacha Baron Cohen now.
We’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Marvel Studios and Disney+ to find out the release date of Ironheart, which has wrapped filming in late 2022. The mini-series has six episodes.
