Ironheart star Dominique Thorne explains Riri Williams' introduction in 'Black Panther: WakandaForever.'
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever finally hit theaters this week and the long-awaited sequel did not disappoint. On top of passing the torch of the Black Panther to a worthy successor, the film introduces both a new adversary to the MCU and a new ally. In the film, we meet the beloved comic book character Riri Williams aka Ironheart. The film serves as a perfect introduction to the young hero who is also on the path to take up the mantle of another fallen Avenger: Tony Stark.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY During their conversation, Nemiroff took a moment to ask Thorne about our introduction to Riri and how meeting her here shapes the character that we'll see in the Ironheart series. Thorne explained that "one of the beautiful things about Riri" is that the way we meet her in the MCU is very aligned with how we are introduced to her in the comics. We find this character living her life rather than in some spectacle of an origin story.
"And so I think that when we get to dive into her world in Ironheart, we're also getting the opportunity to explore who Riri is when the stakes are not quite as exaggerated, but also to see what adventures she might get into when or if she does have to sort of reflect on or contend with the ambitions of hers that got her into that situation in the first place.
Who Is in Marvel's Ironheart Series? After her thrilling introduction in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, fans are eager to see more of Riri Williams when Ironheart finally hits our screens. The series was nearing the end of filming at the beginning of the month, however, it isn't expected to air on Disney+ until Fall 2023.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is currently showing in theaters. Check out our interview with Wakanda Forever star Danai Gurira down below and be sure to look out for Nemiroff's full conversation with Thorne.
