Here’s a synopsis for Ironheart per Disney:
“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 Cast and Crew
In addition to Thorne and Ramos, the series stars Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge serves as head writer, with Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes at the helm as directors. Coogler and Hodge executive produce the series alongside Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito and Zinzi Coogler. Dara Taylor composes the score.

Coogler had this to say regarding the history behind Riri Williams/Ironheart:
“Ironheart is such a great character in publishing. In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis created a character who would be a successor of sorts to the Iron Man legacy. In the comic book, Riri Williams and Tony Stark had a relationship—she was a student at MIT who came from an almost polar opposite background as Tony, but they came together in their passion to better society. Eventually, the character gets her own identity as Ironheart, and other writers like Eve Ewing picked up from there, taking Riri Williams to Chicago.”
Ironheart premieres on Tuesday, June 24, only on Disney+. Before you go, check out the key art and official trailer below.
