Marvel has released some new images from their upcoming series Ironheart. Yes, they are still planning to release this show. The images feature Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne in her armor and taking flight.
Marvel still has yet to release an official trailer for this series, but one was shown at D23 Expo years ago. With the series coming this summer, we should see a trailer released soon.
Riri will be wearing a few different armor costumes over the course of the series, but it looks like she’ll be spending most of the show in this early prototype suit.
Marvel Television’s Brad Winderbaum previously said: “There’s a full practical suit. It doesn’t obviously do all the crazy things that the suit does, but we used a lot of techniques that go all the way back to the first Iron Man film, where we actually had a practical suit on set.”
“First of all, just even as a visual reference for the CG artists having the actual suit there, even if it had to do like CG things and open and close and stuff,” he continued, “it had all the perfect lighting reference, so the emulation is just spot on. It’s awesome. I mean I’m sure it’s going to be in the Marvel lobby in a few months.”
Winderbaum also said that Riri has “Tony Stark-sized ego” and will be in “a bit of a quarter-life crisis.” when we catch up with her.
“She fought in Wakanda, she fought Namor, she had this great adventure. But the day-to-day struggle is still real. She’s Riri Williams. She’s gonna do what she needs to do to get by for her and her family and everyone else. And it does lead her down some roads.”
The series is set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel Television’s Ironheart pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) – a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world – returns to her hometown of Chicago.
Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos).
The series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is head writer and executive producer; episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes.
Ironheart premieres on Disney+ on June 24, 2025.
