November's  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever  is tasked with the tall order of not just passing the mantle of the title character but also introducing two rookie heroes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Those freshmen are Tenoch Huerta's Namor and Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams. While the future of the Sub-Mariner remains to be determined, the heir to Tony Stark already has an  Ironheart  solo series deep in development.

Marvel Studios has been introducing a lot of new characters to the audiences over the last year. This includes the likes of Monica Rambeau to Kate Bishop and now Moon Knight's many personalities. The trend is set to keep going with another big character set to make their grand entrance later this year in  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever : Riri Williams. The character is played by Dominique Thorne and will show up on the movie side of the MCU before debuting in her own Disney+ series. Riri first showed up in the comics back in 2016, where her genius level of intelligence led to her building her own Iron Man armor in the wake of Tony Stark going into a coma. So, naturally, she starts fighting crime in his stead—Riri even gets a Stark-based AI system in her suit. ADVERTISEMENT Details on her first appearance in the  Black Panther  sequel are sparse. At the least, it has been rumored that she will be suiting up at some point in the film. One would have to...

Ever since Tony Stark bit the dust in Avengers: Endgame , fans have been wondering who may be the next to fill the iron-suit-sized hole in the MCU. Of course, the first person that comes to mind is Don Cheadle’s War Machine—but he seems to already have his identity on lock. The answer actually lies in a new upcoming hero: Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams, aka Ironheart. In the comics, Riri is a character who created her own Iron Man suit in her garage, thanks to an old, outdated Stark suit and stolen parts from her college campus. She goes on to become Ironheart, and ends up helping Iron Man during Civil War 2 , becomes a member of The Champions, and, somehow, becomes the Queen of Latveria. ADVERTISEMENT The character has been confirmed to make her first appearance in the upcoming film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ahead of leading her own Disney+ series, Ironheart . Fans should be ready for Riri to become a big part of the MCU going forward. The char...

Ironheart is quickly making headway in pre-production, already having hired a head writer last year in  Snowpiercer scribe Chinaka Hodge, along with updating its logo. Recently, the project began casting with  In The Heights  star Anthony Ramos joining the cast in a mysterious "key" role, while  This Is Us  regular Lyric Ross will be playing Riri Willaims' best friend.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man continues to have a legacy in the MCU more than two years after his on-screen death, which is largely coming to life on Disney+.

Ironheart will be an exciting one in particular, with Riri Williams becoming the MCU's next young hero to play a key role in the narrative.
