Those MCU Mephisto Rumors Get A Subtle Boost By Casting Report

Mephisto’s anticipated arrival in the MCU has been consigned to the rumor mill for years now, but a recent casting report has given those rumors yet another boost. As Marvel’s answer to the devil himself, Mephisto is the kind of villain that would suitably up the stakes of any situation, even as the arch-villain of an entire MCU saga. He is an exceptionally powerful inter-dimensional being that presides over a pocket dimension he dubs “hell,” though he only calls it that to mess with humans. His proximity to alternate dimensions would suggest that he would be a better fit for a hero like Doctor Strange or Scarlet Witch, but a particularly compelling casting report rumor has thrown such assumptions into disarray.
