The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding in 2025 with the arrival of Ironheart. Originally planned for a 2023 release, the series has been eagerly awaited by Marvel fans.
The character of Riri Williams was first introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Ironheart promises to delve deeper into her story.
While the teaser itself hasn’t been released publicly, a teaser trailer shown at Disney’s 2024 Upfronts Presentation reportedly depicts Riri, played by Dominique Thorne, struggling to build her Ironheart suit. Sources claim the teaser shows Riri, likely a student at MIT based on the setting, acquiring parts for her project.
The teaser’s depiction of Riri’s resourcefulness aligns with her comic book origin story. In the comics, Riri reverse-engineers Iron Man’s armour to create her own, highlighting her brilliance and ingenuity.
While the trailer confirms a 2025 release, details about the plot and specific roles of other cast members, including Alden Ehrenreich, Anthony Ramos, and Sacha Baron Cohen, remain under wraps.
While details are scarce, the series has the potential to be an interesting addition to the MCU, particularly for those familiar with Riri Williams.
Ironheart’s confirmed release window for 2025 places it alongside Daredevil Born Again, another Marvel series hitting Disney+ that same year in March.
