Ironheart: Riri Williams Suits-Up In New Still; Dominique Thorne Says Rdj Gave Her "Two Thumbs Up"
Ironheart is set to premiere on Disney+ on June 24, so a full trailer should be right around the corner. For now, we have a new promo still featuring Riri Williams in her upgraded suit of armor courtesy of Empire.
While speaking to the mag, star Dominique Thorne revealed that Tony Stark actor Robert Downey Jr. gave her his blessing to take up the Armored Avenger mantle shortly after the series wrapped.
“Robert Downey Jr and I spoke just after we wrapped, and he shared some very lovely words about my journey,” Thorne recalled. “He told me how excited he was and that he’s rooting for it, too. I literally got two thumbs up. It’s really reassuring to know you’re not embarrassing Iron Man.”
Though Williams has a genius-level intellect at her disposal, she does not have the same resources that Stark did when he started out as Iron Man.
