Join us on Reddit for the latest Marvel & DC news!
In July 2018, a movie featuring the Marvel Comics character Riri Williams/Ironheart had a script penned by Jada Rodriguez and was listed on The Black List. However, the project didn’t come to fruition. In December 2020, Marvel Studios revealed plans for a Disney+ series titled ‘Ironheart.‘
Now, after three years since her initial appearance, it seems the anticipation for Riri’s story is finally reaching its conclusion as her series is set to premiere in 2025. At the Disney Upfront presentation, a wealth of information was unveiled, and we’ve compiled a concise guide summarizing all the key details for you.
“Ironheart” will track Riri’s journey following the events of ‘Wakanda Forever’
Previously, details about the show were scarce, with only the confirmation that it would center on Riri Williams. However, recent revelations indicate that the series will follow Riri’s return to her hometown of Chicago, where she uncovers “dangerous threads” leading to perilous adventures.
This aligns with earlier rumors we discussed, suggesting that the series would incorporate classic themes of overcoming adversity amidst challenging circumstances, intertwined with elements of demons, chaotic magic, and a long-standing vendetta surfacing, possibly linked to Obadiah Stane’s son, as some fans speculate.
The cast has been unveiled, promising an array of exciting new characters to anticipate
What remained certain was Riri’s reprisal of her role. However, following the presentation, fresh information has surfaced.

Originally, it was supposed to come out in late 2023, but Disney and Marvel Studios changed their plans. They thought about releasing it in 2024, but then they decided to delay it again because of some strikes. It’s a part of Phase Five of the MCU.
