One of the major MCU rumors that are recently being reported is Sacha Baron Cohen's alleged casting as Mephisto in Ironheart and potentially in other future projects. While Marvel has not confirmed this casting news, there is evidence that suggests that it is likely to be true. Now, more details are emerging regarding the Oscar nominee's potential MCU casting.
In a report from Deadline regarding voice actress Cree Summer's casting in Ironheart, they revealed that further proof has emerged that Cohen might have joined the MCU. While they didn't confirm that the actor has been officially cast in the series, they have the details on his potential screen time.
According to the outlet, they heard that Cohen is likely to appear in the series during the latter episodes with episodes five and six being the likeliest. Besides filming scenes in person, he has also been doing scans for the CGI effects which suggest that he might indeed be playing Mephisto.
With all these emerging details regarding Cohen's potential MCU casting, it really does indicate that the actor's involvement in the series is likely to be true and it is also worth considering that this information is coming from the major trades which always have accurate scoops when it comes to news like this.
For now, we still have to temper our expectations regarding the Oscar nominee's alleged casting in the series since neither any major reports nor from Marvel have definitively confirmed that he is involved. However, with these new details, this news is becoming less theoretical and is now more realistic than ever.
The confirmed cast members of Ironheart include Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Jim Rash, Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Manny Montana, Shakira Barrera, Harper Anthony, Shea Coulee, Zoe Terakes, Regan Aliyah, Rashida "Sheedz" Olayiwola, Sonia Denis, and Paul Calderon.
