Marvel Television has released a new featurette for the next MCU-set Disney+ series, Ironheart, and in addition to some behind-the-scenes clips and interviews with those involved with bringing the show to the screen, there are some quick glimpses of brand-new footage.

There's not much here that wasn't in the first trailer, but we do get a first full look at what is believed to be Riri Williams' final suit of armor, which will be powered by a combination of advanced tech and magic. There also appears to be a quick glimpse of a mysterious character who may turn out to be Eziekel Stane.

In addition, MTTSH has revealed the logline for the premiere episode.

"After being expelled from MIT and stripped of her tech, teen genius Riri Williams returns to Chicago. A chance encounter leads her into the orbit of a dangerous crew, and when she uses a brain-mapping device to repair her broken suit, she accidentally brings back a hologram AI of her dead best friend."

Thorne recently (and perhaps inadvertently) hinted that she will be a part of Avengers: Doomsday and/or Secret Wars while speaking to The Direct.

"Oh, you know, what can I say? The odds might be in our favor. Who knows? We'll see. We'll see." 

Thorne was also asked about her character's magical armor.

"I think we've got little tastes and teases of that previously. Throughout, you know, the phases that have led us here. But this, absolutely, to me, feels like new territory in terms of how tech and magic can merge, how they can work together, how they might clash."

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 teased after the trailer debuted. “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.”

Have another look at the first trailer, poster and promo stills below.

"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)."

The series also stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is head writer; episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes. Executive producers include Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Chinaka Hodge, Ryan Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. Music is by Dara Taylor.

Produced in association with Proximity Media, Ironheart launches on Disney+ June 24, 2025.

Do I need to read Faust by Goethe to understand Mephisto in this?
StSteven
StSteven - 6/13/2025, 7:50 PM
@tmp3 - Nah, just watch "Devil's Advocate" with Pachino and Reeves. That's pretty much all you need to know. That being said, there's nothing wrong with brushing up on your Goethe (although I swear to God if you pronounce his name as "Go-thee" I will find you and slap that right out of your mouth Will Smith style). Sorry, got a little worked up there. It's a pet peeve of mine. I'll just go back to listening to my Beeth-oven. Carry on ;)

@StSteven - I thought Devil’s Advocate was the Milton Lucifer - now I’m confused!
StSteven
StSteven - 6/13/2025, 8:07 PM
@tmp3 - Well, Pachino goes by the name John Milton, but I think that his character is more of an amalgam of different versions of the devil. The basic story still holds: see your should to the devil to get what you think you want the most, pay the price. As I recall, Milton's "Paradise Lost" was more about Lucifer's fall from grace where "Faust" focused on making a deal with the devil who has already fallen from grace (so more in line with "Devil's Advocate". But it's been a long time since I've read either of those works.

@StSteven - @StSteven @tmp3

Fascinating reading you two referencing such a great and serious work under an article about a mid MCU show that has been shelved for 3 years and will be forgotten 1 week after its release lol
tmp3
tmp3 - 6/13/2025, 9:10 PM
@StSteven - I adored Paradise Lost; some of the imagery conjured up of the war in heaven was just awe-inspiring. Devil’s Advocate’s been on my list for ages; one of the few big Pacino roles I gotta still see. Might have to move it up on my watchlist

@kylo0607 - gonna be honest and say I have an endless fascination with comic book characters inspired by old literature lol (tomb of dracula, the many takes on Frankenstein, Moore’s LXG and ofc DC’s Lucifer & Marvel’s Mephistophles)
StSteven
StSteven - 6/13/2025, 11:00 PM
@kylo0607 - Well, to be fair, we don't know how "Ironheart" will actually turn out. Personally, I'm reserving judgment until I watch it. I thought that "Agatha" was going to be mid but ended up really liking it.

As far as us discussing those devil-based tomes, I think that what @tmp3 and I were circling around was the supposition (though obviously just a rumor right now) that Mephisto is in the show and the source of the Hood's powers, which he either shares with Riri or she makes her own "deal with the devil" to get what she wants (i.e., her armor). Either way, it's an interesting dynamic that I don't think we've seen so far in the MCU and it's an interesting concept in general to discuss, regardless of the medium in which it's presented (i.e., the whole "How far would you go to get what you really want? Would you literally sell your soul?".

If that is indeed the concept presented in this show, then we'll just have to wait and see how it's actually executed. To your point, they've had more than enough time to get it right. Let's just hope that it's good enough.
StSteven
StSteven - 6/13/2025, 11:23 PM
@tmp3 - Oh, man, you really have to watch "DA". It's SO good. Between Pachino, Reeves, and Theron, the performances are top-notch and Pachino as the devil (by whatever name) is just perfect, which is why so many people say that he should be the MCU's Mephisto and I can see Cohen's eventual Mephisto taking a lot of cues from Pachino's portrayal. And the movie just makes perfect sense with how all the characters act and how everything plays out. I won't spoil anything (there are definitely a lot of WTF moments), but if you ask yourself what kind of person would run a (very prestigious and profitable) law firm that represents and defends the worst of the worst, i.e., the child molesters, the murders, etc. And what would you do if you get a very lucrative offer to go work for that law firm as their top attorney? You can probably see where this is going...

You know, I also have a fascination with media in general that is inspired by old literature and legends going back for, well I guess, recorded history. If you look back far enough you can see the same types of stories, characters, pathos, archetypes, etc., played out over hundreds or thousands of years. I don't want to write an essay here (and I don't think anyone would want to read it), but as I'm writing this sitting in my office/library and looking at my literature collection, I'm reminded how often we see the same themes from things such as the Greek tragedies, Jules Verne, Lovecraft, Poe, Shelly, etc. (and those are just the ones I see out of the corner of my eye) reflected in modern storytelling, including comic books and ultimately now comic book movies.

I mean, look at some of the character arcs of MCU characters such as Stark, Romanov, etc. Totally reminiscent of Greek tragedies. Anyhow, I said I wouldn't write an essay and I think that I'mm approaching the generally accepted minimum word count to be considered one, soI I'll leave it there. Cheers!🍻

@StSteven - Oh man, you just opened up the biggest can of worms - I only started reading the classics 2 years ago but I've already made my way through all the major epic poems, Verne (if my profile photo wasn't obvious enough lol), Sophocles' Oedipus, a bulk of Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Dostoevsky (fun fact: Columbo is based on Porfiry from Crime & Punishment haha), and one of the things I loved about the experience was seeing the bones of what would eventually become the bed-rock of so much modern day story-telling. I love the idea of comic books as an extension of mythology, and I feel like getting well-versed in the latter only deepened my love of the former. I re-read all of Sandman last year (before all the big Gaiman stuff blew up) and was shocked at how one of the big arcs was an homage to the Canterbury Tales, or how Gaiman gave an homage to Shakespeare using Midsummer's Night Dream - which in turn was Shakespeare's ode to his own personal hero, Ovid. I'll stop here because I'm worried I sound like a guy who likes the smell of his own farts, but nice to know I'm not the only guy with this fascination haha

@tmp3 - You could just read Doctor Faustus by Marlowe instead. It's much shorter, less serious and has more explosions. It's basically Michael Bay's Faust.

Seriously though reading you and @StSteven geek out warms my heart. I guess cbm.com is about more than just woke/anti-woke squabblings after all.

@tmp3 @StSteven - I wasn't able to get past Pacino's hamminess and Reeves' execrable Southern accent when I saw DA in the theater, and haven't watched since. I do recall a certain young actress named Charlie Theron making a compelling appearance, however . . .

@ObserverIO - Would you say that it warms the cockles of your heart 😉 (Dennis Leary there). Seriously man, I very rarely even bring up politics on this site and I think that I've ever even typed the words "woke" or "anti-woke" in any of my posts here. Don't get me wrong, I follow politics pretty closely, but I just don't feel like this is the appropriate forum for it. Sure, inevitably politics does sometimes work its way into CBMs, Comics, and fiction in general, but I just don't see the point in fixating on it and making a big deal about it.

For example, one can suggest that there were underlying messages about politics in a lot of the MCU movies going all the way back to "IM1", but what's the point in arguing whether or not they were intentional, and furthermore which side is which and who's right or wrong. I don't come here for political discussion, I come here to discuss escapism, which is what this media is intended to be at its core. And, hell, if I can have a well-informed conversation with other individuals on topics such as the influence of literary classics on modern storytelling, then all the better. 😉

StSteven - 6/17/2025, 1:27 AM
@Clintthahamster - Well I haven't watched the movie in years, but yeah I do recall Pachino's performance getting over the top as the movie went on, but I think that that was kind of the point. Like, we start with Reeves as a "simple country lawyer" in a simple case of sexual assault (I didn't really mind his accent and I live in the southern US but was raised in the northern midwest and then spent a good amount of my college time in the central midwest, so I've heard about every kind of southern accent that there is), and with that case things seem pretty grounded, but then they slowly escalate into madness from there, so I think that Pachino's performance follows that ascent into madness.

I mean, like, Pachino starts off very much as a grounded businessman, under control, thinks he's got everyone under his control, manipulating everyone and everything, and is slowly pulling Reeves into his web, but then shit starts going sideways when he goes after Theron (yes, an outstanding performance), and like any other megalomaniac gets high on his own supply and goes too far. THAT'S when Pachino really goes over the top with his performance, in my opinion. I mean, he's trying to get his son to have sex with his sister to bring about who knows what. By then he's in full-blown cackling madman mode (which is actually believable depending on your preferred depiction of the devil), so I think that at that point his over the top performance is actually warranted, and why I think (as other folks do) that maybe 20 years ago he would have made a perfect Mephisto (and that, folks, it how we bring the conversation back to CBM 😉).

@StSteven - Civil War maybe. A conversation about right vs left wing politics in relation to whether or not the superhuman registration act is good or bad (or Sokovia Accords) is an interesting conversation to have. And maybe Black Panther which is conservatism vs globalism. But even those movies are pretty straight forward despite the politics.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 6/17/2025, 4:02 AM
Also, the left vs right issue in Civil War is more of a left vs an extreme right wing idea and isn't really that relatable in modern times.
StSteven
StSteven - 6/17/2025, 4:59 PM
@ObserverIO - Well yeah "CA:CW" definitely had political overtones and didn't even try to hide it, but I think that it's tough to say that it was intended to be the US left vs. the US right ideologies, especially since the original comic that it's based on came out in 2006, well before our current political environment. I think it's more of a general conflict of ideologies that are kinda hard to identify as strictly left or right, especially in this current day and age of US politics where who the hell knows where we're going to be one day to the next.

And yeah "BP" did have a sort of message about populism vs. globalism and I think that the message there was that if you have something good that you can share with the rest of the world for its betterment, sharing it is the right thing to do, and although I think that there is that contingency of folks who would disagree with that sentiment, most folks would agree.

Now, given that "A:DD" and "A:SW" are currently filming during the current political environment in the US, it will be interesting to see what, if any, political undertones will be present in those movies. I'm sure the Russos/Feige will be smart about how they handle it, but given the very nature of the movies it will be hard if not impossible to avoid ANY political undertones.

@StSteven - I never even thought about that but you may be right. God Emperor Trump maybe?
StSteven
StSteven - 6/17/2025, 6:01 PM
@ObserverIO - Well, as I said earlier I personally try to avoid making any comments regarding politics on this site (and my views in particular), but... Trump is not very popular in Hollywood in general (much to his chagrin but evidenced by the success of the recent "The Apprentice" movie) BUT if Marvel wants to attract the largest possible audience for "A:DD" and "A:SW" they are going to have to thread the needle of presenting Doom as an authoritarian dictator that wants to recreate the universe under his image and having it NOT come off as a Trump reference. And I'm sure that there have been A LOT of discussions over at Marvel as to how to handle that.

I say that because based on what we've heard, a good amount of the reshoots done for "CA:BNW" had to do with just that issue, meaning making Ross not seem like a Trump reference so as to not alienate his base (not that it really helped in the final BO performance). So we'll see how they handle this, but considering that Trump will still be in office when both "A:DD" and "A:SW" come out it should be interesting.

@tmp3 - Ho ho ho, I think you'll really dig this: So when I was in high school, I took a class in "Great Books and Literature", and during the course of that class I read a great many literary works including things such as E.M. Forrester's "The Machine Stops" (highly recommended if you have the time but it's only 30 pages or so and it's utterly amazing (and kinda scary) how prophetic it is), and existentialism works from G.B. Shaw and J.P. Sartre. Between that class and I good friend of mine who was better read than myself at the time, they really served to introduce me to the world of truly great literature.

Anyhow, I point out the existentialism in particular because I was in theater at the time (in my high school) and one of the annual productions that we did was called the "Winter One Acts", which was this really cool concept of 3-4 student directed and (sometimes) written one act plays, which we preformed for a smaller audience where we dropped the curtain and set up risers on the back of the stage, so we turned everything around backward.

I wrote and directed my own 1-act play (which ended up being ~45 minutes) called, get this, "Marsha Brady in Hell". It was essentially based on existentialism with the premise being that there are a handful of essential "truths" that we are meant to come to understand during our time on this planet and if we die without fully realizing all these truths we are sent to "Hell", which is really more of a Purgatory, where we must experience a journey to allow us to realize whatever truths that we haven't yet realized, after which we will ascend to Heaven (or whatever that is... I tried to keep specific religious beliefs out of it as much as possible).

Anyhow, to keep the play entertaining but still get the overall concept across to the audience I incorporated characters that were entertaining but also helped to make my point. So Marsha's guides through her journey through "Hell" are Satan (but not the necessarily evil version) and Don Juan from the "play within a play" "Don Juan in Hell" within Shaw's "Man and Superman". Along the way, they run into Elvis, Apollo (who makes a point about how at one point in history the ancient Greeks believed that he was real but now we know he wasn't), as well as Sartre and Shaw arguing and slapping each other.

Anyhow, at the end *spoiler alert* 😉 Marsha realizes that you can't truly believe that something actually happened unless you experience it yourself first hand, which was the final "truth" which she needed to realize to move on to the afterlife with her son (who was actually played in the show by my little brother who is 6 years younger than me).

Thought you might get a kick out of that. Cheers, mate!🍻

He knew exactly what was going to happen and was prepared to sacrifice the life of his friends and compatriots to get what he needed. Dude had a family to feed, he needed that promotion.

Honestly with the whole Magic vs science element in this , I didn’t think it would be her using a combo of both towards the end.

Also cool that we are having it be in Chicago since it will no doubt give it a fresh vibe

@MyCoolYoung -
Absolutely sorcery and not magic, as the MCU goes. Borat will be playing Mephisto for real and it's magic vs technology. The Hood wants the tech to sorcify and she probably picks up some tricks and beats him to it.
