D23 2024: Dominique Thorne Teases 'Ironheart'

Riri Williams herself joined costars and filmmakers to give a sneak peek at the upcoming Disney+ series.

Riri Williams flew into D23 to tease a new look at the upcoming Ironheart Disney+ series.

During Marvel Studios’ D23 presentation on Friday night, star Dominique Thorne joined Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to surprise fans with an exclusive peek at the upcoming show. She was joined on stage by executive producer Ryan Coogler and costars Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, and Regan Aliyah.

“I have been having the best time playing Riri, and I can’t wait for you guys to see more of this series,” Thorne told the cheering crowd.

Thorne stars in Ironheart as Riri Williams, a Chicago-born genius inventor who studies at MIT and creates the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man. Thorne made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

“I always loved the character Riri Williams,” Coogler said. “It was my honor to bring her to life in our film Wakanda Forever, but I always knew she had more to her story, and I’m really excited to share it with you guys.”
