Ironheart Series Reveals New Trailer
Disney+ has revealed the new trailer for Marvel Television’s upcoming Ironheart series, which is set to launch on June 24 at 6 p.m. PT/ 9 p.m. ET.
Set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the Ironheart series pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), 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 six-episode series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, and Anji White.
“What was interesting for me was how different Riri’s story and entrance into the MCU was in comparison to other characters,” said Dominique Thorne. “After bringing Riri to life in the world of Wakanda, we had an amazing opportunity to follow that up with a deep dive into the character that allows for the exploration of her origin story.
“We’re not necessarily going back in time; it’s more of catching up and seeing the effects of how those first pivotal moments of her life have shaped her, and seeing the person that she’s trying to become.”
Chinaka Hodge is the head writer for Ironheart, which Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes directed. The executive producers include Kevin Feige (The Fantastic Four: First Steps), Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Chinaka Hodge, Ryan Coogler, Sev Ohanian, and Zinzi Coogler.
The series was produced in association with Proximity Media. It was filmed in Atlanta and Chicago. The cinematography is by Ante Cheng and Alison Kelly, and the editors are Cedric Nairn-Smith and Shannon Baker Davis.
Ironheart made her debut in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, directed by Ryan Coogler (Sinners). “Ironheart is such a great character in publishing,” said Coogler previously. “In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis created a character who would be a successor of sorts to the Iron Man legacy.
“In the comic book, Riri Williams and Tony Stark had a relationship—she was a student at MIT who came from an almost polar opposite background as Tony, but they came together in their passion to better society. Eventually, the character gets her own identity as Ironheart, and other writers like Eve Ewing picked up from there, taking Riri Williams to Chicago.”
