Picture by way of Marvel Studios
Admittedly, we’re undecided what the Marvel Studios handbook for MCU newcomers entails, however we think about the primary web page entails one thing alongside the strains of by no means giving the web even an inch below any circumstances; even essentially the most innocent allusion will likely be picked up and ran with at full distance, as one Alden Ehrenreich could also be within the strategy of studying.
The Solo: A Star Wars Story star is about to look within the Disney Plus sequence Ironheart, which can see Dominique Thorne reprise her titular position of Riri Williams from Black Panther: Wakanda Eternally, and which, as of the time of writing, solely has one different named character within the type of Parker Robbins (aka The Hood), performed by Anthony Ramos.
In a current interview with Uproxx, Ehrenreich was tasked with enjoying coy when he was probed for info on his Ironheart character, and he solely principally succeeded; when requested if the character is somebody we’ve seen earlier than, the actor, maybe innocently, replied with “type of.”
It was sufficient to ship r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers right into a tizzy, with followers instantly latching on to the concept Ehrenreich will painting Ezekiel “Zeke” Stane, the son of Iron Monger, the antagonist of Iron Man.
It’s hardly a affirmation, however the present’s armor themes recommend particular characters coming into play, and in relation to Marvel, any reply that isn’t an absolute “no” will all the time contribute to the narrowing down of potentialities, and on high of all of it, it’s not tough to think about Ehrenreich because the son of a youthful model of Jeff Bridges.
After all, this isn’t going to cease the remainder of the web from persevering with its favourite pastime.
It’s exhausting to say after we’ll be getting anymore Ironheart updates, given the doubtful state of the present’s launch date and manufacturing timeline, so we’ll simply have to attend and see if this explicit spherical of sleuthing finally ends up going anyplace.
