The Marvel Cinematic Universe's Ironheart series features an epic new armor for the successor of Iron Man. Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams, who made her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is poised to take the lead in one of the upcoming MCU TV shows — Ironheart. Although no personal connection has been disclosed between Riri and Tony Stark, the character will carry on the legacy of Iron Man in the MCU. A striking fan poster was recently shared on Instagram by artist @bensolo_cup, showcasing Riri in a vibrant and fresh suit specifically designed for the upcoming Ironheart series.
What We Know About Disney+’s Ironheart So Far
The fan-created poster of the Marvel Cinematic Universe showcases Riri Williams donning the iconic Ironheart armor which closely resembles the one depicted in the comic books. Riri's suit, adorned in an eye-catching combination of black, pink, and gold, brings a vibrant touch that ensures she stands apart from the other characters associated with Ironheart.
Returning to lead Ironheart is Thorne, who will be accompanied by Parker Robbins, portrayed by Anthony Ramos. Robbins, also known as The Hood in the Marvel comics, is initially depicted as an ally to Ironheart, as seen in footage unveiled at the 2022 D23 Expo. Additionally, the series will feature Alden Ehrenreich, recognized for his portrayal of young Han Solo, as Joe McGillicuddy (possibly a temporary alias), highly speculated to be playing the role of Zeke, the son of Obadiah Stane. Furthermore, Sacha Baron Cohen is said to appear as the Mystery Man, potentially marking the debut of Mephisto in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The US Copyright Office filing, which also outlined the roles of Ehrenreich and Cohen, provided additional details about Ironheart's story. According to the synopsis, Marvel's Ironheart will follow the journey of Riri Williams, a brilliant teenage prodigy who returns to her hometown of Chicago from MIT equipped with her iron suit. As she delves into her investigations, Riri uncovers dangerous and thrilling threads that lead her straight into peril. These unfolding events will serve as the foundation for the MCU's inaugural project that deeply explores the clash between technology and dark magic, courtesy of The Hood.
However, eager fans of the MCU will have to exercise patience, as the release date for Ironheart has been delayed beyond its initial Fall 2023 schedule. The US Copyright Office filing indicates that the new projected date of publication for Ironheart is September 3, 2025. While this date may hold true, Marvel Studios has yet to confirm any changes officially. Once the SAG-AFTRA strike concludes, it is expected that Marvel will unveil any potential alterations to the release date, meaning fans eagerly anticipating Riri's return in Ironheart must stay vigilant for an announcement.
