While on vacation, some concept art iron heart Started making the rounds on social media. I didn’t share it here because it looks like a leak rather than an official release, but it did include three different designs of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Mephisto.
The actor is expected to make his MCU debut as a villain in iron hearthas a role Agatha: Order of Chaos It also looks pretty likely.
I won’t share additional details about the aforementioned leak, but my trusty scooper @MyTimeToShineH Anyway, none of them claim to be real! However, they shared the artist’s impression of what the MCU’s take on Mephisto might look like, and we’re guessing it wasn’t what you expected.
It’s true that there’s a Lobo vibe here, but I’d actually say Gene Simmons and Kiss are a bigger inspiration!
Rock musicians’ Satanic Panic Era has often drawn inspiration from demonic imagery, and it’s fun to think that Cohen’s demons would be their foundation in the MCU…or simply their music. Fans! There’s no way this take on Mephisto isn’t divisive, but I’d argue that it’s far superior to a fully comically accurate version and style that actors can enjoy.
It’s important to note that Cohen’s involvement has not been officially announced at this stage. No Official concept art for the show. It’s just one take on a villain that could look very different by the time we see him again!
Still, I’m sure it has something to say about this version of Mephisto. Wanda Vision Speculation.
What do you think, guys?
The leaked Ironheart concept art is fake, but it’s true that Mephisto looks like Lobo in the early stages. I’m not quite sure what the final version will look like. Maybe like this, or closer to the comics. pic.twitter.com/M6bMdH5mBl
