Marvel Reveals Why Iron Man's New Love Interest Had To Be Hellcat
Warning! Spoilers for Iron Man's current ongoing series at Marvel Comics
Writer Christopher Cantwell is revealing the reason why he chose Hellcat to be Iron Man's partner and love interest in his current ongoing series, as she served as the perfect foil for the Marvel Comics hero. In a new interview, Cantwell talked about pairing up Tony Stark and Patsy Walker and how the hero's romance is here to stay, at least in the present.
Iron Man has mostly been paired romantically with Pepper Potts during his time at Marvel Comics, a relationship that has been adapted into live-action in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But, Tony Stark has had many romantic partners in the comics, including a romance with his fellow Avenger, Janet Van Dyne. However, in Cantwell's current arc of Iron Man alongside artists Cafu and Angel Unzueta, Stark has been paired with Hellcat. Patsy Walker has offered the hero a more grounded relationship and love interest as they've been able to bond over their trauma and dark history in the comics.

With Marvel Comics teasing the hero's getting married, Cantwell discussed why he paired Tony Stark with Patsy Walker as love interests and what makes the street-level hero the perfect foil for him. He mentioned since Iron Man went on a cosmic adventure turning into the Iron God, it was important to pair him with someone grounded like Hellcat.
Cantwell added that Patsy Walker's grounded nature and unfamiliarity with Tony Stark's past (at least more than others) made her a great choice to have a romance with Iron Man.
