"We started shooting Marvel. Shit's fire," Ramos said in a livestream on his Instagram account. "Yesterday was my first day. It went well. Shit's about to be crazy."
Ramos's role is yet to be revealed but common speculation suggests the actor could be playing The Hood, adding a certain sense of mysticism to an otherwise technologically-based series. Ramos has been rising to fame after serving in the original cast of Broadway’s Hamilton. His lead role in In the Heights last year helped him become a more well-known actor, and he will soon play the lead in Paramount’s Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.

"I was at home in Delaware and I got a call asking if I would like to play this role. It was the best phone call I could have ever received," Thorne recalled to Empire Magazine about landing the Marvel role, in an interview last year. "I was so shocked, in fact, that there was a considerable lag in the conversation! I was waiting for them to say, like, 'Oh, we'll send you the sides' or, 'Get your tape over to us.' But there was none of that. It was just like, 'Would you like to do this?' It was probably the most unique experience I've ever had because there was no audition at all."
“According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ironheart will start filming in June 2022. Considering Ironheart will have her first appearance in November 2022, this means the series will likely hit streaming in late November or sometime in December.” pic.twitter.com/n7b07ssa7o
