Marvel fans, rejoice! After months of anticipation, Ironheart finally has an official release date. The Disney+ series, which follows the story of Riri Williams, is set to premiere on June 24, 2025. If you loved her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, you’re in for a treat. The first footage for Ironheart looks nothing short of epic, promising a wild ride for the newest addition to Marvel’s growing roster of heroes.
Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne, is a young genius who builds her own advanced suit of armor—inspired, of course, by Tony Stark. But this isn’t just another armor-clad superhero story; it’s a journey into Riri’s ingenuity and heart as she tackles both technological and personal challenges. The buzz from the footage suggests a blend of raw emotion, humor, and action that feels right at home in the Marvel Universe.
The cast for Ironheart is stacked with some intriguing names. Alden Ehrenreich, who previously took on the role of Han Solo in Solo: A Star Wars Story and played a Senate aide in Oppenheimer, joins the ensemble. Manny Montana, familiar from roles in The Mule and The Chicago Code, is also onboard, although Marvel is keeping his character a mystery. Fans will also see Lyric Ross, best known for her role in This Is Us, and Tanya Christiansen, who made waves as Diane Carey in The Hate U Give. The creative team behind Ironheart also boasts talent, with directors Samantha Bailey and Angela Barnes confirmed to helm episodes.
