3 reasons to be excited for every Marvel series coming to Disney+
Ironheart
Release Date: TBA
Cast: Dominique Thorne
Like Ms. Marvel, Ironheart will introduce us to a whole new hero, following the brilliant Riri Williams as she develops a suit based on Tony Stark’s Iron Man.
- STEM classes are important, and having a strong, brilliant character like Riri Williams will give young MCU fans a new hero to celebrate, one who is closer to their own ages. Riri will no doubt inspire some young engineers in the fandom.
- Tony Stark died in Avengers: Endgame, but might there be a way to work him into the series? You have to think that if someone is developing an Iron Man suit from Tony’s designs, there’s a bit of Tony Stark AI out there to help along the way, which would allow for a really cool cameo. It’s possible that Don Cheadle’s James Rhodes could make an appearance, as well.
- Ironheart is about a strong young woman, something the MCU needs now that the Avengers have run their course and the Young Avengers are about to take their place. Ironheart could lead the MCU into its next phase.
