The first trailer for Marvel Television’s Ironheart was released earlier today, and we now have a new poster and some promo stills spotlighting Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) and her supporting players.
Williams made her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and this series takes places after the events of the sequel, as Riri returns to her hometown of Chicago and sets her mind to building a state-of-the-art iron suit so she can make her mark on the world. Her time in Wakanda has left her more eager than ever to pursue her dreams, and her quest entangles her in a dangerous world of science and magic.
“Riri is definitely in conversation with a street-level show like Daredevil,” Wakanda Forever director and Ironheart EP Ryan Coogler teases. “You’ve got characters trying — both heroes and villains — to make do with what they have. Then you combine that with cosmic Marvel, characters who would be at home in Doctor Strange or WandaVision. That [mix] of street-level Marvel and magical Marvel is a pretty crazy combination.”
The trailer shows Riri taking flight while seemingly preventing some accidents, and there are hints that The Hood may become an adversary before too long - though there's no sign of Mephisto. Sacha Baron Cohen has been rumored to appear as the demonic sorcerer for quite a while now, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Have another look at the trailer below along with the poster and stills, and let us know what you think in the comments section.
"Set after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Ironheart” pits technology against magic when Riri—determined to make her mark on the world—returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka 'The Hood' (Anthony Ramos)."
