It has previously been reported that filming is due to begin in June, but according to Filming in Chicago , the new Marvel series “Ironheart” was filming in Chicago over the weekend. It’s likely that with they either filming test shots or B roll/plate shots.

The new Disney+ series is going to be directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes.  It was also recently revealed that “Black Panther” director Ryan Coogler and his production company, Proximity, are producing the series. Riri Williams will be introduced in the upcoming sequel film, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, which is coming to cinemas in November 2022.
