As MCU mastermind Kevin Feige revealed on the sidelines of the “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” premiere (via Comicbook), become Marvel fans Riri Williams/ Ironheart seen before her own series on Disney+.
The character will make her live-action debut in the MCU in the upcoming Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever. Kevin Feige added: “We’re filming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever right now, and you’ll first meet the character Riri Williams in Black Panther 2.”
According to Kevin Feige, “Ironheart” leading lady Dominique Thorne will then start filming her own show on Disney+ (which is expected to be released in mid-2023) after her “Black Panther 2” scenes.
This is Riri Williams/ Ironheart in the Marvel Comics
In the Marvel Comics, Riri Williams is a 15-year-old prodigy who builds her own Iron Man-themed battle suit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tony Stark then becomes aware of her and becomes a sort of mentor figure for the teenage girl.
Unfortunately, MCU viewers will no longer see this story after Robert Downey Jr.’s departure – unless Iron Man should actually return as a blue artificial intelligence!
