The long-awaited moment has finally arrived Sacha Baron Cohen has officially entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)! After months of speculation and secrecy, the Ironheart Season 1 finale on Disney+ has confirmed that Cohen is playing none other than Mephisto, the sinister demon-like entity from Marvel lore.
This marks the first official appearance of Mephisto in the MCU, a character fans have been theorizing about since the early days of WandaVision. In the finale, Mephisto makes a dramatic entrance, offering deals with dark consequences to both Parker Robbins (The Hood) and Riri Williams (Ironheart). The reveal is both chilling and game-changing.
While Marvel Studios has kept tight control over character reveals in recent projects, insiders confirm that this casting was a coordinated effort between the Ironheart creative team and Marvel’s top brass. Cohen’s portrayal of Mephisto is not just a one-off cameo, it sets up a much larger role in future MCU phases, possibly tying into projects like Agatha All Along, Blade, or even Avengers: Secret Wars.
