Storyline Preview
The trailer starts with a thrilling "job interview" scene that already sets the tone for Riri's fearless and confident personality. And then we are on her journey of designing her own Iron suit — not just to boast about her intelligence, but to protect herself from the dangers looming in her community. In a world not so ready to see a young Black woman in tech or in power, Riri finds herself battling dirty traders, dark foes, and perhaps, herself. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever fans will remember her debut, but this time Riri is front and center to forge her own path as Ironheart. She'll battle supernatural villain The Hood, played by Anthony Ramos, introducing a bit of the paranormal to her world of tech.
