Years after we first saw Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne, in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), the Young Avenger returns in her own standout film, Ironheart, on Disney+.
The limited series, which is set in Chicago—a location that hasn’t been seen in the MCU yet—will focus more on the 19-year-old tech genius who was recruited by Shuri (Letitia Wright) in Ryan Coogler’s second Black Panther movie to aid in defending Wakanda.
See below for the whole release schedule and the arrival times of new Ironheart episodes on Disney+:

Who is in the cast of Ironheart?
The show’s title character, Riri Williams, is played by Dominique Thorne. The Hood is portrayed by Anthony Ramos. Shea Couleé and Lyric Ross co-star with Regan Aliyah (XO, Kitty), among others.
What is the purpose of Ironheart?
Riri Williams is now determined to create her own “iconic” Iron Man-like suit after the events in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), but this is expensive, and her pursuit of funds exposes her to a darker side of the typical capital crowd.
What to watch before Ironheart:
In order to understand Riri Williams, it is essential to watch Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022). Having seen Iron Man (2008) may also be helpful. Robert Downey Jr., who played Tony Stark, congratulated Thorne on the series’ release on various times. As a bonus, Doctor Strange (2016) comes last on the list.
