Bosco685 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Quote Exclusive: Marvel Studios is lining up another Disney+ series for a post-pandemic world. I’ve learned that Ironheart, based on the character of the same name, is in active development at Disney+ with a targeted shooting date sometime next year. With the COVID-19 delays I imagine that will be towards the end of the year. Ironheart follows Riri Williams, a 15-year old engineering genius attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Riri builds a suit based on Iron Man’s armor and takes up the name Ironheart. Last I heard Marvel was taking pitches but that a writer had yet to be formally attached as showrunner. On Marvel’s Disney+ slate are the announced The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight shows. No release date for Ironheart has been announced. @therealsilvermane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Quote During Disney's Investor Day presentation in December, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced Dominque Thorne would play Riri Williams in an upcoming Disney+ Ironheart series. Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato, Ironheart is a successor to Iron Man, filling the void left by Tony Stark's death in the comics and, apparently, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thorne is a Marvel fan who was well aware of Riri's history and role in the Marvel Universe before getting a call about the role. She describes learning she'd landed the part as an "awe-inspiring" experience in a new interview with BlackFimandTV.com. "I think my mother might disown me if I didn't," Throne said in regards to knowing who Ironheart was ahead of the casting call. "It's very much a Marvel household. I did know about Ironheart before I was approached with the role. So it was it was an awe-inspiring moment to think that I would be chosen to portray this woman and to bring her to the screen in this way." Thorne says that she's looking forward to digging into Riri's comic book history as research for the role. She also discussed what she hopes to get out of the series. "For me, at this point, it's really about the story," she says. "That's what many of us who enter into this profession think. What draws you in is the ability to tell stories that mean something to people. In high school, the motto was to empathize, to empower, or to educate and so that is what I still abide by today. So hopefully, I'm involved in a story that is doing that. There are real people with real stories and real emotions at the center of it. Even if it's not my experience or your experience, it allows somebody the opportunity to be changed; the opportunity to have their mind expanded or get educated in a new way. I think that's one of the most beautiful and powerful things that this form is capable of." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Quote Dominique Thorne says there was "no audition at all" for her role as Riri Williams in Marvel Studios series Ironheart. Thorne has just two acting credits to her name: the Oscar-winning If Beale Street Could Talk and the freshly Oscar-nominated Judas and the Black Messiah, where Thorne appears opposite Marvel's Black Panther star Daniel Kaluuyah. When Thorne joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the lead of her Disney+ series, she will play Riri Williams, a young genius inventor who creates the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man's (Robert Downey Jr). "I was at home in Delaware and I got a call asking if I would like to play this role. It was the best phone call I could have ever received," Thorne told Empire Magazine. "I was so shocked, in fact, that there was a considerable lag in the conversation! (laughs) I was waiting for them to say, like, 'Oh, we'll send you the sides' or, 'Get your tape over to us.' But there was none of that." Thorne explained, "It was just like, 'Would you like to do this?' It was probably the most unique experience I've ever had because there was no audition at all."

Bosco685 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Quote Dominique Thorne will star as the fan-favorite Riri Williams, a brilliant inventor. Ironheart has found its head writer, with Chinaka Hodge set to lead the series for Marvel Studios and Disney+. The show will have six episodes, with Hodge winning the job after pitching her vision for all six to Marvel. The writers room is slated to open in May. Hodge is a poet and educator also known for her work as a TV writer on TNT's Snowpiercer. She has published two books, For Girls With Hips: Collected Poems and Writings and Dated Emcees, and written multiple plays, including "Mirrors in Every Corner" and "Chasing Mehserle," which centers on an agoraphobic man traumatized after witnessing the beating of Rodney King as a child, only to emerge into the world on Jan. 1, 2009, the day Oscar Grant was murdered by transit officer Johannes Mehserle.
