Ironheart star Sacha Baron Cohen recently opened up about what it was like learning that the Disney+ series would introduce him.

Fans have been wondering if/when/how the devilish character would ever arrive onscreen since the premiere of WandaVision four and a half years ago, and Ironheart creator Chinaka Hodge tells Entertainment Weekly that the decision to include that long-awaited moment in this series was not hers "alone."

On paper, the Mephisto reveal is an exciting one for MCU fans who have been begging for it since WandaVision. Even if his appearance in Ironheart isn't comic book-accurate like it would have been in a show like WandaVision, it's still fitting given the show's broader conflict between magic and technology.
