As if to reaffirm the spiritual legacy of Iron Man, Riri Williams will also build her first armor, the MK I, using recycled material. I expect that in the trailer for Wakanda Forevere he is presented in the scene where Riri is making her armor in a similar way to what Tony Stark did in Iron Man (2008). Scene in which it is impossible not to notice how an iron heart is made from a metal plate. Waiting to see what Ironheart's armor will be like in Wakanda Forever in the fall, a first clue is given to us by the Funko Pop collection linked to the future Marvel Cineamtic Universe film, which also features the character played by Dominique Thorne.
The appearance of this Ironheart MK I betrays its origins as an improvised armor. Let's not forget that this first appearance of Ironheart is just a taste of the potential of the heroine, who will return later in her series and that we expect to see in action also in Armor Wars, a series of the MCU that will be inspired by the famous War of the Armor of the marvelian comics.
Speaking about his entry into the Marvel Cineamtic Universe, Dominique Thorne recounted how he found out he got the part:
“I was at home in Delaware, and I got a call in which I I was asked if I was interested in playing the part. Best phone call ever received! I was totally shocked, there was a considerable delay in the conversation. I was waiting for someone to tell me 'We will send you the lines' or 'Send us your video', but none of this was asked, it was just a 'Would you like to do it?'. I think it was a unique experience, there wasn't even an audition! "
Ironherat in the comics is a central figure in the post Civi War II, maxi event at the end of which Tony Stark, apparently dead in the final confrontation with Carol Danvers, in the form of artificial intelligence selects a young man with an exceptional mind, Riri Williams , as his heir. An intriguing run, in which Riri finds himself having to contend for the role of Tinhead's heir with Victor Von Doom, who has become the Infamous Iron Man, who tries to redeem himself from his life as a villain and become the new Golden Avenger.
"For me, accept the part it was tied to the story, which is an aspect that many actors look after, to have the ability to tell stories that have meaning for people. In high school, the motto was to empathize, to educate and so here's what I'm trying to do today. So I hope to be involved in a story that has these ends, since at the center of it are people with real stories and authentic emotions. Even if it is not my experience or yours, it allows someone to have a chance to change, to expand their mind, or to be educated in a new way. I think it is one of the most beautiful and powerful things in this art "
