IronHeart (Marvel Series): Characters, history and… who is it?

IronHeart (Marvel Series)

When we are already in the middle of phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), news begins to arrive once with Endgame it seems that some doors were closed for the key superheroes of the first twenty films. However, with the arrival of Disney +, those of Kevin Feige have devised a whole multiverse of complementary series that will alternate with theatrical releases to add more and better heroes born from the pages of their most popular comics to the collective imagination.

Ironman substitute arrives?

Her name is Riri Williams and you probably haven’t heard much about her, if not for the announcement of a series that will premiere directly on Disney +. If you think you’ve missed something from the comics that you didn’t have on your radar, don’t worry, because there’s an excuse for that ignorance, and a quite acceptable one at that. And it is that it was not until 2015 that Marvel found sense to develop an alternative character , and female, who would replicate the almighty Ironman.

Surely we do not reveal any SPOILER (at this point), but it is that the end of Ironman in Avengers Endgame seems the perfect excuse for Riri Williams, which is what Ironheart is called, to take control of the operations, along with some of the mythical allies of the iron man. Now, now, surely you are thinking of War Machine and you are not mistaken. There are also projects underway with Don Cheadle on something they’ve decided to title as Armor Wars . Will Ironheart be there too?

Ironheart began appearing in Marvel Comics publications in 2015 , thanks to the work of writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mike Deodato. Later, all those ideas were reworked by Eve Ewing and Kevin Libranda to turn this superheroine into the character that Marvel Studios wants to introduce in… you know what movie?

Where does Ironheart come from?

Riri Williams is a student who comes to replicate some of the aspects that have made Tom Holland’s Spider-Man such a success: a 15-year-old teenager, a student with a passion for engineering , who lives with her mother and a maternal aunt who seems to have a tremendous future within MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from which so many great scientists have emerged throughout the ages.

As happened to Tony Stark in his origins, in his spare time Riri decides to design his own armor thanks to the materials he obtains within the University campus itself. After its construction, it becomes relatively famous (we would say viral now) after starring in an incident in which it prevents two inmates from a New Mexico prison from escaping. When all these achievements reach the ears of Tony Stark himself, Ironman makes the decision to support her so that she becomes part of that select group of people with a superhero card in their pockets.

Is Ironheart an Avenger?

At the moment, nobody knows what paths the character will take, although we do have two specific news: he will appear in Black Panther Wakanda Forever , which will be released this year, and that the series aims to do so at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023 through Disney + . It will be at that moment when we have a clear reference to the path that Marvel Studios wants the character to take.

Ironheart con los Ultimates.

If we go by what is already published, Ironheart appears in the 2017 Spider-Men II comic, a fairly definitive version of Riri Williams’ character who becomes part of the Ultimates, a group of superheroes to which names also belong. as well known as Captain America, the Human Torch, Thor, Hulk, Giant-Man, Spider-Woman and the original Spider-Man from the Spider-Men series #3 (which chronicles the adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales fighting Mysterio) . So it seems that the multiverse, which just opened with phase 4, continues to cause new entanglements in the cast of Marvel characters.

The cast of Ironheart

At the moment, today, if we dig into IMDB (which is the industry database where we can find out which actors or directors participate in each production), only two actors are confirmed: Dominic Thorne, who will play Riri Williams both in Black Panther Wakanda Foerever and in Ironheart , and Anthony Ramos, who at the moment nobody knows what role he will play, although many sources suggest that it will be an incorporation with the sights set on actively collaborating with the MCU within the new plots that are are creating for phase 4.

Dominic Thorpe is an actress with a very short career, born 24 years ago in New York, she barely has two titles behind her, such as the films Judas and the Black Messiah and Beale Street Blues. For his part, Anthony Ramos has a more extensive career and at the age of 30 he has participated in productions such as A Star Is Born , Godzilla the King of the Monsters , Hamilton , In Therapy or Transformes Rise of the Beasts , which has not yet been released and is in post-production phase.

Do we have a trailer for the series?

At the moment there is no official Ironheart trailer published by Marvel Studios, but if you want to whet your appetite, there is an interesting piece of video published by MIT itself in March 2017 (to celebrate Pi Day), where we can see a Flesh and blood Riri Williams designing her Ironheart suit on campus. Entitled “Not all heroes wear capes”, it can give us an idea of what we will see in the Disney + fiction and that very possibly serves as a reflection of what we can expect from the series.
