Marvel continues to expand its universe with Ironheart, a new series featuring Riri Williams, a young engineering prodigy revealed in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. With uncommon intelligence and a unique talent for armor construction, she forges her own path by creating the most advanced armor since Iron Man.
Set just after the events of Wakanda Forever, the series explores the challenges Riri faces as she seeks to impose her vision of the future. But her genius isn't always enough, and her creations, impressive as they are, aren't infallible. Between science and mystery, Ironheart looks at the relationship between technology and magic, an area rarely explored in the MCU.
Ironheart will be available on Disney+ from June 25, 2025.
Synopsis: Shortly after the events chronicled in *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever*, Riri Williams, a genius young inventor, is determined to make her mark on the world. But her unique approach to metal armor construction is both brilliant and... perfectible! *Ironheart* explores the dynamics of technology versus magic.
Created in 2016 in Marvel comics, Riri Williams is a young MIT student who develops her own armor inspired by that of Tony Stark. She soon attracts the attention of some of the world's most powerful heroes, eventually becoming Ironheart, the next generation of Iron Man. The series seems to retain this essence of the character, while fully integrating him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the lead role, Dominique Thorne reprises the character of Riri Williams after her acclaimed appearance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Alongside her, Anthony Ramos, known for In the Heights, plays a still mysterious character, and Lyric Ross, seen in This Is Us, completes the cast.
Behind the camera, screenwriter and poet Chinaka Hodge brings a fresh perspective to the Marvel universe. With her experience in series such as Snowpiercer, she should offer an original and committed approach, moving away from the usual pattern of superhero stories.
With Ironheart, Marvel focuses on a brilliant, independent heroine who brings a new dynamic to the Iron Man legacy. Between ingenuity, responsibility and the quest for perfection, the series explores the dilemmas of a young inventor in a post-Tony Stark world. A must-see for MCU fans and fans of innovative superheroes.
