**Anthony Ramos, who will play the villainous Parker Robbins/The Hood in Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series “Ironheart,” has revealed that his character will undergo a significant transformation.**

While the comic book version of The Hood doesn’t have a direct connection to Riri Williams, the titular Ironheart, Ramos assures that his portrayal will be faithful to the spirit of the character.

“In the comics, Parker gets this hood, and it’s too powerful for him,” Ramos explained to The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s overwhelming, and it starts to damage his body. You can see how it’s affecting him inside and out – his personality, physically, mentally, emotionally, it’s breaking him. But the power is addictive, he can’t let it go.”

Footage from D23 suggests that Parker will initially guide Riri towards a path of thievery, helping her acquire the components needed to create a new Ironheart suit.

However, Ramos teased a darker evolution: “The hood becomes a weapon for vengeance. He starts small, stealing in the comics, and it grows, and grows, and grows. It becomes overwhelming for him, just like his power. I’m excited for fans to see what we did with this character.”

Ramos also praised the art department, visual effects team, and special effects makeup team for their work in bringing The Hood’s transformation to life.

“Ironheart” is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2025.
