Marvel Studios will deliver a brand new armor-clad superhero to film theaters and to Disney Plus with Ironheart, the inheritor obvious of the late Tony Stark. Ironheart will seem in each this 12 months’s Black Panther sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Perpetually, and in a standalone, self-titled sequence for Disney Plus in 2023.
At San Diego Comedian-Con on Saturday, Marvel confirmed off its live-action Ironheart within the first trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Perpetually, which can launch Nov. 11, 2022. The Ironheart present is a part of Marvel’s newly introduced Section 5, although the one timeline given was “Fall 2023.”
Ironheart’s alter ego is Riri Williams, a genius inventor who creates what Marvel describes as “essentially the most superior swimsuit of armor since Iron Man.” Performed by Dominique Thorne (If Beale Road Might Discuss), younger Riri takes on the mantle of Ironheart after she builds her personal swimsuit of souped-up armor, one which she’ll apparently improve with the superior expertise of Wakanda and its highly effective extraterrestrial aspect, Vibranium.
Riri Williams made her Marvel Comics debut in 2016, within the pages of Invincible Iron Man. Whereas learning engineering at MIT — Tony Stark’s alma mater — Riri reverse-engineers an older mannequin of Iron Man’s armor and fights a little bit of crime, naturally garnering the eye of Stark and later working alongside an AI duplicate of Tony after he fell right into a coma.
Ironheart isn’t the one Iron Man spinoff within the works for Disney Plus. Marvel Studios additionally has Armor Wars, based mostly on the traditional comedian sequence of the identical title, coming to the streaming service subsequent 12 months. That sequence will deliver again Don Cheadle as James Rhodes, aka Struggle Machine, to take care of Stark tech falling into the fallacious palms.
