Marvel has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated MCU Disney+ series, *Ironheart*, spotlighting Dominique Thorne reprising her role as the armored superhero Riri Williams. Initially introduced in *Black Panther: Wakanda Forever* in 2022, Williams steps into the spotlight with Anthony Ramos joining the cast as Parker Robbins, aka The Hood. The trailer, which you can view below, offers a glimpse into Riri's journey from a supporting character to a leading superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The trailer hints at a complex relationship between Riri and The Hood, with Robbins initially appearing to guide Williams in realizing her full potential. However, there's a suggestion that The Hood's intentions may not be entirely benevolent.Ironheart, executive produced by Ryan Coogler, is set to premiere with a three-episode launch on June 24 at 6pm PT/9pm ET on Disney+. The series follows Riri's adventures post-Wakanda, which she humorously refers to as her "internship abroad." After being expelled from MIT, Riri faces a critical choice prompted by The Hood: "Anyone who has accomplished anything has to do questionable things. Are you in or out?" We see thrilling action sequences featuring Riri suiting up, flying, and dramatically punching a truck into the air.
