Phase 5’s Ultimate Villain Unveiled: The Hood’s Shocking Costume Revealed!

by

Marvel Studios unveiled the most detailed photos of the costume sported by the villain in their upcoming project, concluding Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As part of the Thunderbolts* team’s endeavors, the final film in the MCU’s Phase 5 lineup will introduce yet another thrilling adversary to continue shaping the franchise’s epic narrative.

*Note: I assumed that Thunderbolts is the name of the project or team, but it could also be a movie title, so I left it as-is for clarity.

The newest set of photos provide an outstanding glimpse into Anthony Ramos’s costume for his character Parker Robbins/The Hood in the upcoming “Ironheart” series during Phase 5. Although there hasn’t been much promotional activity before its June 24 premiere on Disney+, these images offer a sneak peek at what viewers can anticipate from the main villain of the show.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ramos is spotted on set dressed in a blue coat beneath a lengthy red cloak, portraying Parker Robbins with conviction.

Accompanied by his co-star Manny Montana on one side and head writer Chinaka Hodge on the other, Ramos and the team continued filming for the TV series that spanned from May to November 2022.

As a point of comparison, this costume bears a strong likeness to the attire sported by Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood, in Marvel Comics over the years, featuring a red cloak and hood.

A closer examination of Ramos’s Phase 5 villain has only been seen previously in a broader glimpse at Marvel’s future projects revealed in October 2024, which included brief glimpses of The Hood. One of these glances resembled Ramos wearing his costume in the same manner as depicted in the Empire images.

A different segment of the trailer shows Ramos all geared up in his outfit, complete with a hood over his head, standing imposingly over a defeated foe, exuding an ominous presence.

Originally a small-time crook from the comics, Anthony Ramos’s Phase 5 villain gains supernatural abilities after shooting a demon within a warehouse. Upon slaying the demon, he purloins its cloak and footwear, which grant him the power of flight and invisibility.

Actor previously known for his role in “Hamilton” is set to appear in his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) premiere, which is the concluding project of Phase 5, titled “Ironheart”. This series, starring Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams and Ramos’s Parker Robbins, is also said to present Sacha Baron Cohen’s interpretation of Mephisto in the MCU. The release date for this show is June 24th.

What to Expect From The Hood in Phase 5’s Ironheart

A significant amount of excitement surrounds the upcoming series, Ironheart, as it’s anticipated to present a grand clash between “technology and magic.” The character known as The Hood is expected to explore and exploit the mystical aspects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Given his powers stem from an encounter with a demon, the supernatural element of the MCU will undoubtedly deepen upon the release of Ironheart.

To make the Hood a formidable adversary for Phase 5 finale, it’s crucial to present him as equally powerful as characters such as Sentry (from Thunderbolts), Death (Agatha All Along), and Cassandra Nova (Deadpool & Wolverine) who demonstrated immense power during their debuts.

In the future, a key point of interest becomes clear: How precisely The Hood’s powers will unfold on screen, as there has yet to be a full trailer released for Ironheart, before its premiere on Disney+. Additionally, much intrigue surrounds how his narrative from the comics will translate to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially given his supernatural aspects.

As the premiere of the show approaches within roughly six weeks, excitement builds among fans who are eagerly anticipating further details about this intriguing new adversary.
