IRONHEART's Post-Credits Scene Sets The Stage For Another Supernatural Story - SPOILERS

Ironheart has wrapped up on Disney+, and we're now taking a deep dive into the post-credits scene, which characters it involves, and what it means for the supernatural corner of the MCU moving forward.

The second half of Ironheart has arrived on Disney+, and you can find a full breakdown of how things play out here. Like almost every MCU movie and TV show, there is a post-credits scene, but figuring out what it means for the future is easier said than done. 

After having his Hood taken from him by Riri Williams, Parker Robbins heads to the store run by Zelma Stanton's mom and seeks out the teenager's help. Well, some "supreme" help that he hopes she can assist him in tracking down (earlier in the series, Zelma mentions that she trained at Kamar-Taj for a time, so he's likely hoping to be connected with the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong). 

The scene ends with him suggesting they do a little "abracadabra" together, and it feels a lot like this was meant to lay the groundwork for the Strange Academy TV series that's now on hold. 

The idea was presumably for Zelma and Parker to train under Wong, with the latter hoping to regain his soul from Mephisto. Riri Williams may have even factored into the show, but as things stand, this is a pretty confusing stinger that only really confirms there are plans for Parker and Zelma's stories to continue...somewhere

Ironheart has been sitting on the shelf since it wrapped shooting in 2022, and much has changed for Marvel Studios since then.

Midnight Sons, Blade, and perhaps even a Ghost Rider movie are thought to be in production, but the likelihood of the stories of these streaming characters continuing in any of those movies surely can't be any better than 50/50. We'll have to wait and see. 

Set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel Television’s Ironheart pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) - a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world - returns to her hometown of Chicago.

Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka "The Hood" (Anthony Ramos).

The series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is head writer and executive producer; episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes.

"Ironheart soars when Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Alden Ehrenreich, and Lyric Ross are on screen," we wrote in our 3* review, "but a by-the-numbers story means the series falls short of reaching the same heights as Iron Man. Still, the finale is an undeniable must-see."

All episodes of Ironheart are now streaming on Disney+.

@Malatrova15 - But, much like Spore, I have EVOLVED to be superior in my civility.
RayRay is THE greatest character in the MCU and puts that lame dead Iron Man to shame!

So by going off of MCU Rollercoaster theory, because this show sucks, Fantastic Four will be good and everyone will in the "Marvel is back Phase" until the next show/movie that will suck and everyone will then proceed to go forward with the "Marvel is Dead phase"


What an emotional ride this has become 😄

Second half was definitely better. Loved Sacha Baron Cohen. Ate up every scene.

I think this is one of those post credit scenes that won’t get much of a payoff. I guess they can do strange academy but I don’t see it
BlackStar25
BlackStar25 - 7/2/2025, 12:19 AM
@MyCoolYoung - I would have preferred a scene where Memphisto collected The Hoods soul. What we got felt like Strange Academy setup and Marvel wanting to keep Anthony Ramos in the fold just cuz

@MyCoolYoung - What would have been cool is if Dormammu has been seeking a vessel to inhabit and in order for him to fully corrupt and possess a body, they must endure a painful and demonic transformation. Doctor Strange stopped Kaecilius and RiRi stopped Hood. And Mephisto offers Dormammu a deal. Dormammu releases his son Black Heart from the Dark Dimension and Mephisto will give him a vessel to corrupt and possess.

@SonOfAGif - ay you cooking with that one. That would be a great reason for the midnight sons to assemble. Dormammu has possessed the rider once in the comics so maybe Mephisto could’ve been trying to get him as a vessel for dormammu
MyCoolYoung
MyCoolYoung - 7/2/2025, 1:01 AM
@BlackStar25 - I definitely think he should’ve taken the hoods soul but I guess they aren’t revealing he’s the devil to the general audience yet

@MyCoolYoung - My premise for Midnight Sons is that Lilith is the dark mother of villainous supernatural beings such as Dracula, Blackheart, and Blackout being her children. She made Blackheart with Mephisto, Blackout with Dormammu, and Dracula with Chthon. And her intentions were to have a general in each realm ready to strike their fathers. When Mephisto learned of her treachery, He had her imprisoned in the Nightmare Dimension where she has been plotting her return.

It set the stage for nothing. We won’t ever see any of these characters ever again, and good riddance.

MrDandy - 7/2/2025, 12:32 AM
Except for maybe Mephisto. That’s it.

I bet we will never see any of those characters ever again. Maybe Mephisto, but i doubt Riri arc will continue.

This show is a waste of good characters like Ezekiel, The Hood and Mephisto. Like you had Mephisto and only used him in the last episode for like 4min of screen time, really? We even get his classic look but on a SPOON REFLECTION? Who the hell greenlit this crap?

@SamWilson - Glad you have him for 5 mins at the end of a shelved for 3 years show that won't see any continuation, with his real look shown in a spoon reflection?

Okay lol

For being a “genius”, Riri makes some pretty dumb choices.

@NGFB - she's got strong teenager energy for sure. I guess that keeps it grounded. Shes less like Rey. Shes flawed in many ways

They were definitely setting up Strange Academy throughout the back half of the season. I'm sure plans have changed since that was shot, but I hope Zelma is back for more.
