Marvel has unveiled the first trailer for the highly anticipated MCU Disney+ series, Ironheart. Dominique Thorne returns as the armored superhero Riri Williams, who made her debut in 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, alongside Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood. The trailer offers a glimpse into the mini-series, spotlighting Riri's journey to becoming a standalone superhero after her initial supporting role in the MCU.
The trailer suggests that Parker Robbins/The Hood starts off as a mentor figure to Riri, aiming to help her harness her potential. However, it's evident that there's a deeper, more complex side to his character.Ironheart, executive produced by Ryan Coogler, is set to premiere with a three-episode launch on June 24 at 6pm PT/9pm ET, exclusively on Disney+. In the series, Riri reflects on her time in Wakanda Forever as an "internship abroad." After being expelled from MIT, she faces a pivotal decision prompted by The Hood: "Anyone who has accomplished anything has to do questionable things. Are you in or out?"
The trailer showcases thrilling action sequences, including Riri suiting up as Ironheart, taking flight, and demonstrating her prowess by grounding herself to punch a truck, sending it soaring over her head in spectacular fashion.
