When the character Riri Williams (played by Dominique Thorne) made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut back in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the idea was that we’d be seeing the character again the following year in her own six-episode Disney+ show Ironheart… but 2023 came and went without Ironheart, and the show still doesn’t have an official premiere date. It is expected to come along sometime in 2025, and a trailer was recently shown at the D23 event. It will be a while before we get to see the show’s characters in action, but during a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, cast member Anthony Ramos took a moment to talk about the character he plays in the series: Parker Robbins, a.k.a. The Hood.

Ramos said, “I saw a trailer at D23. We walked onstage, and they played this new trailer of Ironheart, and it was my first time seeing it.

In December 2020, Marvel Studios announced the development of the Disney+ series ‘Ironheart.’ Now, three years after her initial appearance, the wait is nearly over for Riri, as her show is set to release in 2025.

‘Ironheart’ will follow Riri Williams as she returns home to Chicago, where she uncovers “dangerous threads that bring danger and adventure.” This aligns with earlier rumors suggesting that the show will blend classic “overcoming adversity” themes with elements of demons, chaotic magic, and a 17-year-old vendetta coming to light.

Anthony Ramos was confirmed to play Parker Robbins, aka The Hood, in the upcoming ‘Ironheart’ series. Robbins begins as a petty criminal in New York City who discovers a mystical hooded cloak and boots during a robbery. These items, originally belonging to a demon, grant him powers of levitation and invisibility. With these newfound abilities, Robbins adopts the alias “The Hood” and rises through the criminal underworld.

Now 3 years after her first appearance, it looks like the wait is finally over for Riri as her show will release in 2025.

We know that ‘Ironheart’ will follow Riri after her return back home to Chicago and she will discover “dangerous threads that bring danger and adventure”.

This sort of aligns with rumors we covered several months ago, that the show will focus on your classical “overcome all bad things despite your circumstances” tropes with a mix of demons, magic going haywire, and a 17-year-old vendetta coming to light.

Now 3 years after her first appearance, it looks like the wait is finally over for Riri as her show will release in 2025. During the Disney Upfront presentation, plenty of information has been presented and we decided to conveniently summarize them for you in this neat guide.

Wa wa wee wa! Reports have come in that Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing Mephisto in Disney+’s upcoming Ironheart series. While this has yet to be confirmed, sources are confident that the actor will be portraying the Marvel character on the MCU show.

The cast of the MCU’s Ironheart is starting to fill out quite nicely, with Dominique Thorne portraying Riri Williams/Ironheart, “a genius inventor who creates the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man”, and Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins/The Hood. Years ago, Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis said Riri Williams/Ironheart “speaks not only to the soul of the character but to the Iron Man franchise as a whole. Tony first put on the armor to save his heart. Riri puts it on for different reasons altogether but still heart-related.”
