New Iron Man Riri Williams Will Make MCU Debut In Black Panther 2

Riri Williams, also known as Ironheart, will make her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Announced during the Disney Investor Call in 2020, Ironheart has cast Judas the Black Messiah star Dominique Thorne as the lead character of Riri Williams, a young MIT student who ends up building her own Iron Man suit. The series will feature 6 episodes and Chinaka Hodge will serve as the series head writer.

Meanwhile, production on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever started on June 29, 2021, and much of the film’s plot has been kept under wraps. The original plan for the film had to be scrapped after the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman in 2020, and Marvel made the choice not to recast the role. While little is known about the plot, fans have been speculating the main antagonist might be Namor the Submariner, but it appears that another Marvel hero will join the highly anticipated sequel.

Kevin Feige confirmed with ComicBook what a few bloggers like KC Walsh and MsLizzieHill have been reporting recently: that Riri Williams will make her first appearance in the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Actress Dominique Thorne will start filming her scenes for the upcoming sequel, with production on her own series set to begin soon. Interesting to note is Feige said Riri Williams but not Ironheart, suggesting that the character will not suit up until her own series. Read what Feige said below:

“We’re shooting Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, right now, and the character of Riri Williams, you will meet in Black Panther 2 first. She started shooting, I think, this week before her Ironheart series.”

The fact that Feige said Riri Williams makes her first appearance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hints at when Ironheart may premiere. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is currently set to open in theaters on July 8, 2022 meaning that Ironheart would be released after July 2022. Ms. Marvel, Moon Knight, She-Hulk, and Secret Invasion are all series currently in various stages of filming set to premiere in 2022, meaning that Ironheart may not premiere until the end of 2022 or possibly 2023. With an introduction in a highly anticipated sequel, it could make Ironheart a higher profile series for a general audience than it would have been before.

Given that Black Panther ended with Wakanda opening up its borders and sharing its resources, with Shuri being made the head of the science program at the first Wakandian embassy, it makes a great deal of sense that Riri Williams would make her first appearance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as a possible friend or associate of Shuri. It is unknown if this was always the plan for the sequel, or if this is one of the story changes that Ryan Coogler added in the wake of Boseman’s passing. The title suggests the film will explore the impact and legacy T’Challa and Chadwick Boseman left behind, and exploring the origin of another Marvel superhero that may exist in the universe because of Black Panther, feels thematically appropriate.
