Ironheart is over, dose Riri have an “Infamous” future?!
One eagle-eyed fan has noticed that, in the background of the show's final scene, The Hood can be seen draped over Riri's armour. This leaves us with more questions than it does answers, but can we assume that she's now piloting that suit while wearing The Hood? It's a compelling possibility and one that drastically alters this character's status quo in the MCU.
Riri still having The Hood also explains why she was in the midst of researching what looked like magical equations before being reunited with the real Natalie.
We don't know what Marvel Studios had planned for Armor Wars, but Riri being a character rooted in this world's supernatural corner now appears to be a given. It's also looking increasingly likely that she could unwittingly head down a villainous route as Mephisto's influence over her increases.
Many fans have been quick to point out that The Hood being draped over Riri's armour is reminiscent of the "Infamous Iron Man." After Secret Wars, Victor Von Doom suited up as a morally ambiguous armoured "hero" for a time, and did so wearing his cloak. Could Ironheart end up more infamous than iconic? We'll have to wait and see.
"It’s an informed decision," Ironheart executive producer Ryan Coogler recently told Collider. "She sees Hood at his worst, she sees what the deal with this guy looks like, and she still does it for a friend. You learn just how much she loves this person. It’s one of the more interesting things we've seen somebody doing in the MCU, and that's hard because there have been a lot of these, a lot of movies, a lot of shows."
"It’s a very interesting form of sacrifice that can only happen in this story with these characters, so I thought it was a great way to introduce an incredibly powerful character from publishing, because you meet Mephisto via this deal, which I think is really cool," the Black Panther director added.
