Marvel has released the debut trailer for Ironheart, the upcoming MCU Disney+ show.
Ironheart sees Dominique Thorne reprise her role as the armored superhero from 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, with Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins / The Hood. The trailer, below, gives us a good idea of what to expect from the mini-series, which focuses on Riri Williams’ journey to become an iconic superhero in her own right after playing a supporting role in the MCU so far.
Parker Robbins / The Hood is positioned as a character who initially wants to help Williams realize her potential, but it’s clear there’s more to this character than meets the eye.
Ironheart, from executive producer Ryan Coogler, launches with a three-episode premiere on June 24 at 6pm PT/ 9pm ET, on Disney+.
Williams calls her involvement in the events of Wakanda Forever an “internship abroad.” She’s booted out of MIT, which leads to The Hood’s play: “anyone who has accomplished anything has to do questionable things. Are you in or out?”
We see Ironheart suit up, fly about, then in an action scene, ground herself before punching a truck, which flies over her head in dramatic fashion.
Marvel has a number of shows coming up. Also spinning off the Black Panther franchise is Eyes of Wakanda, a four-episode animated mini-series about the Hatut Zaraze, an elite group of Wakandan warriors. That series will launch on August 6.
Rounding out the television front is another four-episode animated miniseries, Marvel Zombies, and the live-action series Wonder Man. Marvel Zombies will premiere on October 3, and takes place in the zombie reality depicted in the first season of What If…?. The series will feature many MCU cast members reprising their roles, such as Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Simu Liu as Shang-Chi, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Awkwafina as Katy Chen, Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan.
Wonder Man, set to premiere in December 2025, will star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams, a superpowered actor who is a recurring member of the Avengers in the comics. Ben Kingsley will be returning as Trevor Slattery, the actor who played the fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3, and Demetrius Grosse is set to play the Grim Reaper, Simon’s villainous brother.
