When Black Panther: Wakanda Forever came out in fall 2022, the Ryan Coogler-directed film introduced Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a teenage MIT student whose brilliance created a vibranium detector. Now, the character is debuting in her own streaming TV show: Ironheart.
Pulled from Marvel’s comic books, the young inventor possesses genius-level intelligence and found Tony Stark an inspiration. Riri’s gift for robotics led her to make an armored suit that’s been compared to Iron Man’s, and they both were driven to serve mankind. The show sees her return to Chicago after the events of Wakanda Forever (where she helped battle Namor alongside Shuri), and viewers will see her tech take on magic when The Hood (played by Anthony Ramos) arrives on the scene in the upcoming new series.
In addition to Thorne and Ramos, the cast also features Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Anji White, Regan Aliyah, and Manny Montana. Coogler and Kevin Feige are among the series’ executive producers. Get the details below on when to watch all six episodes of Ironheart.
