Part 7/9:
The Cliffhanger and Future Prospects
The series ends on a cliffhanger—a last-minute bait for more episodes or spin-offs—despite the likelihood that Iron Heart might never continue. Whether Marvel intends to revisit the story remains uncertain, but the general consensus is that this was a waste of potential.
Marvel’s typical pattern of promoting their shows with numbers and ratings has not yet manifested with Iron Heart. After a brief promotional push, Disney has remained silent on its performance, and the show has yet to appear on streaming ratings charts, implying poor viewership.
