One of the many Marvel Studios projects currently in development for Disney+, is “Ironheart”, which will star Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a genius inventor who builds her own advanced suit of armour and follows in Iron Man’s footsteps.

This new Marvel series will be coming to Disney+ in Fall 2023 and will also star Alden Ehrenreich, Manny Montana, Anthony Ramos, Regan Aliyah, Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola, Shakira Barrera, Harper Anthony, Zoe Terakes, Shea Couleé, and Lyric Ross.

According to Variety, Sonia Denis has joined the project.  She has previously starred in HBO animated series, “Birdgirl” and “BoJack Horseman”.  Sonia Denis also received an Emmy nomination as part of the writing team for HBO’s “A Black Lady Sketch Show.”

Marvel hasn’t confirmed the casting, as it doesn’t comment on projects in development.

The six-episode series is going to be directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes, with Ryan Coogler’s Proximity among the production entities. The show’s head writer is Chinaka Hodge, and it will be executive produced by Ryan Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian, alongside Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, and Zoie Nagelhout.

Riri Williams will be introduced in the upcoming film, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, which is coming to cinemas in November 2022, and the new Disney+ series will arrive in the Fall of 2023.  A small preview of the new Disney+ series was recently shown to attendees of the D23 Expo.

Are you looking forward to “Ironheart” arriving on Disney+?
