Anthony Ramos was interviewed by
The Hollywood Reporter regarding his forthcoming role in Ironheart, discussing what audiences can anticipate and sharing insights about his experience on the project.
"I get to play this villain, The Hood, and Parker Robbins in the comics, he gets this hood, and it’s too powerful for him. It’s overwhelming, and it starts to damage his body. You can see it on the outside, and you can see how it’s even affecting him on the inside and his personality and how it’s actually, literally, physically and mentally and emotionally breaking him, but it’s giving him so much power that he’s addicted. He’s like, “I can’t let it go.” It becomes this weapon to seek vengeance, and for him, he’s starting off small, and he’s stealing in the comics, and then gradually it grows. It grows and grows and grows, and just like his power, I think, it becomes a little overwhelming for him."
"I’m excited for y’all to see what we did with this character and just the art department, and our visual effects team and special effects makeup, too. Jonah [Levy] and his whole team, they were amazing with the tattoos and the scars. They really did a crazy job."
I'm genuinely excited about Anthony playing this character. I love the idea of tech vs magic. So it'll be good to see on screen. And both being Chicago based is cool. His statement is worrying though. I hope he just has tattoos, and they aren't like mystical and show up when he kills or something cringy. And yes the cloak takes a toll on him, but big scars allover him? Idk. He's just supposed to look haggard and drained, not all scarred up. Maybe it'll work, and I hope it does, but I have a feeling they were overthinking it, as usual.
As long as they spend time fleshing out the character

Uggg! What I'm not looking forward to is Disney ruining another one of the few good villains created in the modern comics era.
