Disney fans are currently enjoying day two ofD23. Marvel is the major focus of today and one of their highly anticipated upcoming series isIronheart. At their showcase Marvel Studios gave fans an updated look at the series logo.
The marvel series centered around Riri Williams has a logo that is quite literal. TheIronhearttext has a very fitting backdrop of, well, an iron heart that looks like it was forged by hand. Riri who’s played byDominique Thornein the series is a relatively new character that made her Marvel Comics debut in 2016. She’s a child prodigy and is known to be a big fan of Tony Stark aka Iron Man in the comics. While the series is expected to have a late 2023 release date, we will soon see Thorne’s MCU debut as Ironheart inBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreverthis November. The size of her role remains unknown, but in theteaser trailershown at San Diego Comic-Con this past summer Riri was forging her armor in a shot that was very reminiscent of Tony building his first armor in the first Iron Man.
It’s a very exciting time to be an Iron Man fan as his section of the MCU is quickly expanding. BeyondIronheartandWakanda Forever, Marvel also has anArmor Warsseries coming to Disney+ that will seeDon Cheadle’s James Rhodes aka War Machine take center stage. It’s safe to assume that Riri will have a role to play in that series as well.

Along with Thorne,Ironheartwill also starAnthony Ramos(In the Heights) rumored to play the villain The Hood,Alden Ehrenreich(Solo: A Star Wars Story),Manny Montana,Regan Aliyah,Shea Couleé,Shakira Barrera, andZoe Terakes. The series is directed bySam BaileyandAngela BarneswithBlack PantherdirectorRyan Cooglerserving as an executive producer. There is so much potential for this series to be another hit for Disney+ thanks to all the amazing talent behind this project.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than three years since the death of Iron Man inAvengers: Endgame. His sacrifice is still something that has weighed heavily on the MCU. Because of that, it will be very interesting to see how Riri takes up the mantle and how she personally connects to the MCU version of Tony Stark.
While we patiently wait for the calendar to change to 2023 and more news onIronheart, you’re able to view the updated series logo down below. You can also catch up on the entire MCU on Disney+ now.
