Creator on MCU's Ironheart Villain: Not My Call

Author:Kristen Update:Oct 26,2025

Ironheart creator Chinaka Hodge revealed that featuring the much-anticipated Marvel villain in the Disney+ series "wasn't solely my call."

Instead of neatly concluding Ironheart's narrative, the finale actually leaves multiple storylines unresolved and feels unexpectedly intertwined with the broader MCU—surpassing some viewers' expectations.

It remains uncertain whether these threads will continue in other MCU films, Disney+ shows, or potential future seasons of Ironheart—something Hodge now expresses optimism about. In any case, the show's characters, especially the major antagonist, clearly play a part in Marvel's larger universe.
