Fans got their first look at Marvel Television’s
Ironheart today (May 14th). Continue reading to check out the official trailer!
Launching exclusively on Disney+ on June 24th,
the intriguing new series stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a young, genius inventor whose iron suits rival the best in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe). The character made her debut in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, directed by Ryan Coogler.
“Ironheart is such a great character in publishing,” said Coogler. “In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis created a character who would be a successor of sorts to the Iron Man legacy. In the comic book, Riri Williams and Tony Stark had a relationship—she was a student at MIT who came from an almost polar opposite background as Tony, but they came together in their passion to better society. Eventually, the character gets her own identity as Ironheart, and other writers like Eve Ewing picked up from there, taking Riri Williams to Chicago.”
