At long last, Marvel’s “Ironheart” made its debut on Disney+ on Tuesday night. The first three episodes are now streaming, with the final three episodes airing next Tuesday on the streamer.
Starring Dominique Thorne, the series follows Riri Williams as a genius inventor from Chicago who is hellbent on building an iron suit that’s a technical body of armor. “Ironheart” is executive produced by Ryan Coogler, whose “Wakanda Forever” brought the Ironheart from the comic book to the big screen.
Now, Riri is getting her moment in the spotlight with her very own series. The show picks up after Riri gets expelled from M.I.T. and has to return to her hometown to gather up the tools to build the kind of iron suit that could make Tony Stark proud. Meanwhile, she’s still grieving the death of her best friend Natalie (Lyric Ross) and her stepdad Gary (LaRoyce Hawkins), all while getting mixed up with a dangerous crew, headed up by Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos).
HuffPost staff members offer a primer for the series and chat about the cast’s performances, how the show offers an authentic portrayal of grief, and why you need to tune in next week for the final three episodes.
