‘The power of five’ is so alive in The Iron Heart, as agent Apollo (Richard Gutierrez) forms a squad with Eros (Jake Cuenca), Venus (Sue Ramirez), Juno (Meryll Soriano), and Poseidon (Pepe Herrera).

And their blooming bond despite their contrasting personalities and missions steeped in intense, death-defying action adds more flavor to the story.

The characters carry individual motives. Apollo and Eros are agents tasked to infiltrate Priam (Albert Martinez)’s syndicate called Tatsulok. For Venus and Juno, losing the men they love, their father and husband, respectively, because of Tatsulok, marinated their hearts in hate and vengeance. Meanwhile, Poseidon stuck by his promise to be Apollo’s ultimate sidekick and realized that good deeds nourish his soul. Plus, his slapstick comedy synchronizes well with their action-packed activities.

Behind the scenes, they also show great chemistry, as revealed in these photos. In one snap, Sue and Meryll flaunted their cutest smiles.

In another, they were joined by Pepe as they all gazed at the camera.

Richard, Sue, and Meryll’s process of creating their training scene was also shown in a set of pictures uploaded by Star Creatives. The ladies took their job seriously, while Richard impressed with his wide range of action.

They shared warm laughter after the filming. And these photos of Richard and Sue enjoying a light-hearted moment raise hopes for their characters’ romance to grow stronger in the coming episodes.

Here, Richard joined the girls in an adorable groufie:

Meanwhile, in their recent mission, Richard and Jake raised the hotness meter, literal and figurative, as they walked out of an exploding warehouse, exuding confidence and sexiness with their unflinching moves.
