"Ironheart Trailer: Riri Williams Smashes Truck, Meets Untrustworthy Hood"

Marvel Studios has unveiled the highly anticipated trailer for "Ironheart," the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+. The series marks the return of Dominique Thorne as the titular armored superhero, Riri Williams, first seen in 2022's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Joining her is Anthony Ramos, who steps into the role of Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood. The trailer provides a glimpse into the upcoming mini-series, highlighting Riri's transformation from a supporting character to a leading superhero.

The narrative positions Parker Robbins as a mentor figure for Riri, aiming to help her unlock her full potential. However, the trailer suggests a deeper, more complex side to The Hood, hinting at potential conflicts ahead. "Ironheart," executive produced by Ryan Coogler, is set to premiere with a three-episode launch on June 24 at 6pm PT/9pm ET on Disney+.

Riri reflects on her experiences in "Wakanda Forever" as an "internship abroad." After being expelled from MIT, she faces a pivotal moment when The Hood challenges her with the question, "Anyone who has accomplished anything has to do questionable things. Are you in or out?" The trailer showcases Riri suiting up as Ironheart, engaging in thrilling action sequences, including a standout moment where she punches a truck, sending it flying over her head.
