Marvel Studios has never been shy about making some changes to the source material, but things are going to be very different for Anthony Ramos' character, Parker Robbins, in Ironheart. For one thing, Parker's comic book counterpart doesn't really have any direct connection to Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), the young woman behind Ironheart's armor. But according to Ramos, Parker's transformation into The Hood will be relatively true to the spirit of his character.

"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," Ramos told The Hollywood Reporter. "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.'"

The Ironheart footage that debuted at D23 suggested that Parker will lead Riri down the wrong path as they commit heists to steal the components she needs to create a new Ironheart armor. It's hard to see how the magic hood plays into that narrative, but Ramos is excited for fans to see his character's final form.
