“Ironheart” had her big Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and now she’s ready for her solo adventure. Riri Williams was a delightful part of that movie, and fans are wondering what to expect from the show. Coincidentally, Ironheart will see the recent college graduate back at MIT. Even though she doesn’t have her armor or the hopped-up version she got from the Wakandans in that project, she still has a very high level of skill at fighting as her modus operandi seems to be using that good old technology to destroy all of the incoming threats.
Who is Riri Williams?
Riri Williams was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mike Deodato. She debuted in Invincible Iron Man #7 and she’s been a runaway success ever since. To be completely honest, there aren’t a lot of young female characters in Marvel (or any other big comic book publisher) that you can say that about. Women tend to stick to sidekick status, which is a shame since they are usually more interesting than the main characters. But Riri breaks the mold by being very interesting herself. She’s quite an engaging character with an ongoing storyline that keeps her at the forefront of events and looks forward to future adventures beyond the exploding head of Tony Stark.
How did Ironheart change MCU?
To be fair, her solo show is rather a big deal in the small world of Marvel. Riri’s superheroic exploits have always been a source of intrigue to comic book fans and now they will be able to see what she’s like in her own story. Technically speaking, this won’t change the MCU too much since she was already part of their shared continuity, but having more time devoted to one of the most interesting characters has its benefits. If you are one of the people who fell in love with Riri in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, you will probably see her here is a lot like herself, but different than the previous incarnation.
Who is the villain of the Ironheart series?
Parker Robbins, aka The Hood, is a freelance thief who takes the identity of one of the Badoon’s troops to haunt Riri. He was sent to Wakanda, so he has appeared in Black Panther as well. That makes him an established character and, like Riri, that gives him an advantage over his competition.

Excepted story of series
Riri is at MIT, trying to juggle classes, social life, and being Ironheart. But when a villain from her past returns, everything she’s built could be destroyed. Now Riri must embrace the legacy left by Stark and accept her role in a larger Marvel Universe conflict.
The release date of series
The series is scheduled to release on Disney + in late 2023. The first images of the series were released with the name “Ironheart”, which was almost immediately changed when they were made public. The producer, Marvel Television, and the title character’s director said that they intended to make Riri’s story a full-on superhero show, not just a sidekick attempting to fit in. They also said that there would be a lot of action and Marvel Easter eggs to keep fans happy.
In Conclusion,
This is a big deal for fans who have been waiting to see Riri in her own story. Now they will get the chance to see her step into being Ironheart and hopefully make a name for herself in the Marvel universe by making use of the technology that Stark left behind. This series is set to be released on Disney later in 2023.
