Riri Williams has touched down in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The first look at “Ironheart” was debuted out of Marvel’s presentation at the D23 convention Saturday. Unfortunately, the video was an exclusive for those in the room and won’t be released to the public — but Variety was on the scene to describe the teaser for the rest of you.
Dominique Thorne stars as the new hero in the Disney+ series, which follows a genius, 15-year-old MIT student — taught by a character played by Jim Rash — who creates a suit of armor inspired by Iron Man. “What I’m doing. It’s important. It’s iconic,” Thorne’s Riri said in the first look footage.
The teaser showed “In The Heights” breakout actor Anthony Ramos playing a villainous role in the series. The tattooed and stacked character appears to pay Riri to steal materials from the MIT lab, and...

While Bucky Barnes-Sarah Wilson ‘shippers are clamoring for Marvel Studios to #ReleaseTheBuckySarahCut, it’ll have to settle for a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the creation of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” that includes more delightful Helmut Zemo cuts and a look at the way the writers approached Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) transformation into Captain America.
The hour-long program, part of the “Marvel Studios Assembled” series that last gave us a look at how “WandaVision” was made, was just released on Disney Plus on Friday. Here are a couple of key takeaways.
This line in ‘Endgame’ was foundational to the Sam Wilson’s character in ‘Falcon’
According to executive producer Nate Moore, the line in “Endgame” that most resonated with “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” head writer Malcolm Spellman occurred during the scene in which Steve Rogers passes on the Captain America shield to Sam Wilson. “How does it feel?...

“She certainly didn’t come to us and say, ‘I’ll be in one show once,'” Marvel Studios EP Nate Moore tells Entertainment Weekly
One of the more surprising elements of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” was Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ debut as Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine. And it appears we’ll be seeing much more of her, considering she rebranded John Walker as U.S. Agent by the end of the Disney+ series.
“She’s so talented and you can do so much with her. And she’s game for it,” Marvel Studios executive producer Nate Moore told Entertainment Weekly. “She certainly didn’t come to us and say, ‘I’ll be in one show once.’ She was like, ‘I want to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.’ And we said, ‘Great! Let’s get you in and let’s figure out how to use you.
