Nearly a decade after we first saw Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), the Young Avenger returns in her own highly anticipated Disney+ film, Ironheart.
The limited series will focus on the 19-year-old tech genius who Shuri (Letitia Wright) enlisted to aid in defending Wakanda in Ryan Coogler’s second Black Panther movie. It is set in Chicago, a place that hasn’t been seen in the MCU yet.

The show’s title character, Riri Williams, is portrayed by Dominique Thorne. The Hood is portrayed by Anthony Ramos. Shea Couleé and Lyric Ross co-star with Regan Aliyah (XO, Kitty), among others.
What is Ironheart about?
Riri Williams is now determined to create her own “iconic” Iron Man-like suit after the events in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), but this is expensive, and her quest of funds exposes her to a darker side of the usual capital crowd.
What to watch before Ironheart:
In order to understand Riri Williams, it is essential to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022). Having seen Iron Man (2008) may also be beneficial. Robert Downey Jr., who played Tony Stark, congratulated Thorne on the series’ release on several times. As a bonus, Doctor Strange (2016) comes last on the list.
