It’s that time again where the fandom talks about Mephisto coming into the MCU, this time actor Sacha Baron Cohen is cast. Whether this information is true or not is still up in the air. According to the source, Cohen is already going to portray the powerful demon in Marvel, Mephisto. Furthermore, his appearance will not be in Agatha: Coven of Chaos but in the technologically grounded Ironheart series.
Comicbookmovie.com writes about MyTimeToShineHello stating that Cohen will soon appear as Mephisto in Ironheart as the character will be the source of the series’ main villains mystical items: a magic pair of boots and a cloak.

This information is without confirmation from Marvel, however, the site claims another site corroborates the MyTimeToShineHello’s claim.
While most may not expect Mephisto to appear in Ironheart first, some say there is a possibility. This is because of the upcoming show’s premise, technology vs mystic arts. Even though so many previous MCU projects could have been Mephisto’s debut project. On the contrary, this doesn’t also disregard the possibility that the character may already be in the MCU. For all we know, he’s already there and they only don’t mention him much.
In the recently concluded She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, he could be there too. The series featured an episode where Wong and She-Hulk cleaned up an auditorium from pesky devil infestation. One character Madisynn even mentioned having dealt with a demon. That encounter cost her drops of her blood just to get back to the world. These could be crumbs to the cookie house of the Witch, so to speak.
This means whether it isn’t in a chaos magic-centric series such as WandaVision or Agatha, they could introduce Mephisto anytime.

Apparently, Sacha Baron Cohen will be Mephisto who will give Anthony Ramos’ Hood his source of powers in MCU’s Ironheart. These powers come from magic or mystically imbued hood and boots. Ramos’ character is going to be the main opponent to Dominic Thorne’s Riri Williams.
Meanwhile, the actress Dominic Thorne will soon be debuting as Riri Williams in the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, premiering on November 11, 2022 in theaters.
However, the series featuring Williams as Ironheart will be on Disney Plus in the latter part of 2023. Whether Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen would indeed be Mephisto in the series is something only time can tell.
