Ironheart: Anthony Ramos Teases His MCU Debut as The Hood

Anthony Ramos is teasing his upcoming MCU debut in Ironheart as Parker Robbins/The Hood.

Ironheart is a forthcoming Marvel Studios series that is expected to premiere in 2025. Ramos is playing a villain named The Hood in the series, while Dominique Thorne is reprising her role as Riri Williams/Ironheart after making her MCU debut in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter , Ramos discussed what fans can expect from his character in the Marvel series.

What did Anthony Ramos say about his Ironheart character?

“I get to play this villain, The Hood, and Parker Robbins in the comics, he gets this hood, and it’s too powerful for him,” he said. “It’s overwhelming, and it starts to damage his body. You can see it on the outside, and you can see how it’s even affecting him on the inside and his personality and how it’s actually, literally, physically and mentally and emotionally breaking him, but it’s giving him so much power that he’s addicted. He’s like, “I can’t let it go.” It becomes this weapon to seek vengeance, and for him, he’s starting off small, and he’s stealing in the comics, and then gradually it grows. It grows and grows and grows, and just like his power, I think, it becomes a little overwhelming for him, but I’m excited. I’m excited for y’all to see what we did with this character and just the art department, and our visual effects team and special effects makeup, too. Jonah [Levy] and his whole team, they were amazing with the tattoos and the scars. They really did a crazy job.”

Ramos also said of Ironheart, “I saw a trailer at D23. We walked onstage, and they played this new trailer of Ironheart, and it was my first time seeing it. And I’m not gonna lie, just as a fan, I was like, ‘Yo, this is crazy. If this show is half as good as this trailer, we in the mix.’ Dominique Thorne is incredible. She plays this genius, and she creates this new suit out of basically just spare parts. In her genius way, she creates this state-of-the-art, beautiful, high-tech suit. She becomes Ironheart.”

The series will also star Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Manny Montana, Sacha Baron Cohen, and more.
