Iron Man’s death at the end of Avengers: Endgame created a void felt throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though War Machine remains present, his focus has shifted to political fallout rather than superheroic exploits. Enter Riri Williams, a child prodigy who becomes Ironheart, sporting armor resembling Tony Stark’s. Ironheart has become a fan-favorite for her unique personality and characterization despite only being around for a decade.
While her Disney+ series is still forthcoming, Williams appeared in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. With new details emerging, here’s everything we know about Ironheart as this new MCU hero prepares to soar solo, capturing hearts with her remarkable journey.
Ironheart Season 1 Release Date: When Will It Air?
Unfortunately, the specific release date for the Ironheart series is yet to be revealed, leaving us uncertain about when the series will be available. Initially slated for a Fall 2023 premiere, the status has become uncertain as the series is listed as “Coming Soon” on Disney+.
Producer Nate Moore updated Collider on November 1, 2022, stating that filming is nearly complete and they might be on their second-to-last day. If this information holds, a Fall 2023 release is still possible if the show is about to enter post-production. However, we must wait for an official announcement to confirm the release date.
Ironheart Season 1 Plot: What Can we Expect?
Plot details for Ironheart are under wraps, but the D23 Expo 2022 confirmed Anthony Ramos as the main villain. Set photos revealed Ramos wearing a distinctive red hood, confirming his role as The Hood. Like Scott Lang (Ant-Man), The Hood gained magical abilities after encountering a demon.
Unlike Lang, The Hood preferred a life of super-villainy and built a criminal empire comparable to the notorious Kingpin. Ironheart will face the daunting task of confronting this formidable adversary, requiring careful strategy.
Ironheart Season 1 Cast: Who Will Be In?
Dominique Thorne and Anthony Ramos will be joined by Alden Ehrenreich, known for Solo: A Star Wars Story. IMDb has also listed Ehrenreich as playing Riri Williams, which could be a typo or hint at him portraying Riri Williams Sr., the titular hero’s father. However, the age difference suggests a limited role in flashbacks or a different character altogether.
The cast includes Manny Montana, Lyric Ross, Shea Couleé, Harper Anthony, and Zoe Terakes. Regan Aliyah, Shakira Barrera, Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola, and writer Sonia Denis are reportedly joining the series, with Cree Summer and Sacha Baron Cohen also rumored.
Ironheart Season 1 Trailer: When Can We Watch It?
Currently, there is no trailer available for the Ironheart series. Since Marvel was in the process of filming the show in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2022, it is expected to be some time before any official footage is released. Consequently, specific story details are also limited at this stage. However, leaked set photos provide insight into the characters we can anticipate, including the main antagonist Riri Williams will confront.
While Ironheart footage has not been unveiled, glimpses of Riri can be seen in trailers for Wakanda Forever. Some show you can enjoy before the series is released include Wanda Vision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and What If.
