Cameras are still rolling on the upcoming Disney+ Ironheart series, and these latest photos from the set seemingly reveal that the show will feature the MCU debut of a new character with ties to Doctor Strange.
Though she doesn't actually appear in the photos, it looks like Zelma Stanton will show up in the Marvel Studios series.
The @DoctorStrangeUpdates Twitter account shared the snaps, one of which shows a storefront with the name “Stanton’s Sweets, Reads, & More.” While this alone probably wouldn't mean very much, a rumor did claim that recent cast addition Regan Aliyah (XO, Kitty) will be playing Zelma, so this does at least lend some credence to the report.
In the comics, Stanton was an ally of Doctor Strange who ultimately became his apprentice and the librarian of the Sanctum Santorum. We have no idea how she'll factor into Ironheart, but wouldn't be surprised if Riri Williams paid her a visit to get some advice on how to combat the mystical threat posed by The Hood - and Mephisto!
Ironheart will also star Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Manny Montana, Alden Ehrenreich, Shea Couleé and Zoe Terakes.
Sam Bailey (Brown Girls) and Angely Barnes (Mythic Quest) were recently announced as directors, and have reportedly been enlisted to helm at least one episode a piece. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler will executive produce via his Proximity production company.
No premiere date has been announced.
