Marvel Studios has added a new star to the cast of the upcoming Ironheart series on Disney+. According to Deadline, Manny Montana is set to star as a series regular opposite Dominique Thorne.
Ironheart, aka Riri Williams, is a relatively newer character, first appearing in Invincible Iron Man #7 in 2016. She reverse-engineered Tony Stark’s armor and took on the mantle after he fell into a coma after a fight with Captain Marvel. Eventually, after Tony reclaimed the title of Iron Man, Riri took on the name Ironheart and became a member of the Champions.
