Sacha Baron Cohen Possibly Playing Mephisto!

Well, it seems like the rumors are coming true! Sacha Baron Cohen might be playing the Mephisto, one of the anticipated villains fans have been looking forward to in the MCU. And if you know Sacha Baron Cohen, you can expect great things if officially confirmed.

. From Deadline, here’s what they reported:

Speculation has been growing that Sacha Baron Cohen has entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a role in Marvel Studios’ upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart as a comic book villain.

A source close to the production confirmed to Deadline that there has been talk on the set about Cohen being part of Ironheart, likely playing Mephisto. Reps for Marvel and Cohen have refused to comment on any Cohen involvement in Ironheart or the larger MCU.

Like with any major Marvel characters, word is that Cohen would appear in other projects. If the Mephisto alter ego is confirmed, that could include the upcoming WandaVision spinoff Agatha: Coven of Chaos as Mephisto had a presence (but was never shown) on the praised mothership series starring Elizabeth Olsen.
