Ironheart Teaser Unveiled at D23: Riri Williams Takes Flight in New Disney+ Series
August 11, 2024Marvel Studios unveiled exciting new footage of the upcoming Disney+ series 'Ironheart' at the D23 Expo, featuring Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams.
In her journey, Riri encounters Parker Robbins, played by Anthony Ramos, who possesses a magical hood that grants him access to dark arts, indicating a potential conflict.
Early glimpses of Riri's new armor suggest it is more handmade compared to her previous suit, reflecting her resourcefulness.
Highlights from the footage include Riri flying, money falling from the sky, and a dramatic scene where she crashes a truck.
The clip concluded with a mysterious light-colored suit approaching the camera, hinting at further developments in the series.
The preview began with a clip from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' which marked Thorne's debut as Riri Williams/Ironheart.
Riri, a super-smart MIT student from Chicago, made her MCU debut in the 2022 film and is now facing challenges as she returns to school.
The teaser revealed Riri's desire to build something significant after feeling stuck post-internship in Wakanda, motivated by the need for 'cash money.'
However, her focus on personal projects leads to her expulsion from MIT, pushing her to seek questionable funding methods.
The footage showcases Riri feeling 'stuck' and being challenged by Robbins to take risks, highlighting her internal struggles.
Ironheart is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2025, as confirmed by executive producer Ryan Coogler and the cast at D23.
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced plans to limit Marvel's releases, which will affect the number of shows on Disney+.
