Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends follows the adventures (and misadventures) of best friends and super geniuses — Tony Stark, Riri Williams, and Amadeus Cho — as they work together to solve problems, both big and small, and protect their city. To help them save the day, the Iron Friends each have their own Iron Suits, which enable them to fly and grant them enhanced super strength.
The series stars Mason Blomberg as Tony Stark (Iron Man), Kapri Ladd as Riri Williams (Ironheart), Aidyn Ahn as Amadeus Cho (Iron Hulk), Tony Hale as Ultron, Vanessa Bayer as Swarm, and Talon Warburton as Absorbing Man.
The series, from Disney Branded Television, is executive produced by Sean Coyle and Harrison Wilcox. James Eason-Garcia is the co-executive producer and story editor; Alex Cichon is the supervising producer; Ashley Rideout is the producer; and Michael Dowding is the supervising director.
