Sacha Baron Cohen Rumored To Play MEPHISTO In Upcoming Marvel TV Series

It was long speculated that Mephisto would make an appearance in WandaVision for Marvel and Disney+ but now a new rumor is circulating that Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen could be playing Marvel’s version of Satan in an upcoming MCU project.

According to leaker MyTimeToShineHello, Borat and The Dictator star Sacha Baron Cohen is slated to play Mephisto in Ironheart, the Disney+ series expected to come out in the fall of 2023. The show stars Dominique Thorne (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Riri Williams, a young engineer who, as Marvel describes, "creates the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man."

The leaker further claimed that Mephisto will be responsible for giving The Hood his powers. The Hood, a.k.a. Parker Robbins, is a villain with mystical abilities that stemmed from magic-imbued boots and a cloak. He is slated to appear in Ironheart, where he will be played by Anthony Ramos (In the Heights).

From what we can gather, Mephisto will be in the MCU for the long haul as well and we will only be getting a small taste of him In Iron Heart.

The Cosmic Circus' Lizzie Hill also touched on the rumor, stating on Twitter: "[Yes], I hear, and have some confidence, that Sacha Baron Cohen is involved with 'Ironheart.' I believe he's not Dormammu and that the Mephisto rumors may be true. Time will tell."

Ironheart is scheduled to arrive on Disney+ in the fall of 2023.
