To be clear, though, anyone assuming that Riri Williams is simply going to be the new Iron Man is sorely mistaken.
Now seems like the perfect time to introduce Marvel’s Ironheart character into the MCU, seeing as how the shared universe’s most famous armored superhero is no longer with us.
Yet, upon the recent announcement of a live action Ironheart TV show coming exclusively to Disney+, with If Beale Street Could Talk Star Dominique Thorne in the title role, I suppose that the comic book movie veterans can call that a mission accomplished.
It should be mentioned, however, that Riri Williams is still a relatively new character to the comics and, for more casual Marvel fans who only look to the movies for their superhero fix, the news of this upcoming series may be the first time they have ever heard of Ironheart.
