Dominique Thorne says there is a specific reason why her character Ironheart is introduced to the MCU in BlackPantherWakandaForever: 'Like why on this day are we seeing Riri? Well, on this day, she realizes the potential that her brilliance has.'
Dominique Thorne explains the reasons why her character Riri Williams' Marvel Cinematic Universe debut occurs in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The Marvel Comics character is a teen prodigy who built her own suit of armor similar to Iron Man's, functioning as Tony Stark's protégé. In the MCU, Riri is being seen as Iron Man's replacement after the hero's death in Avengers: Endgame.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY However, the character's first MCU appearance has already arrived, as she plays a role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. While speaking with Collider, Thorne explains her thoughts on her character's debut and the reason that she first shows up in the Black Panther sequel.
"I think that one of the beautiful things about Riri is that when we meet her both in the comics and on-screen we're meeting someone in the middle of their day-to-day. We're sort of getting to peek in at someone's life in the middle of it. We haven't really gotten the origin story that we might expect when we hear that a new hero is being introduced.
While she can be considered an Iron Man replacement in terms of her intelligence, alma mater, and the tech that she builds, there are many things that set Riri apart from Iron Man, and it's likely that these many contrasts are something that she will grapple with in her solo series.
Ironheart was seen joining forces with Shuri in the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailers, but the film saw her take a neutral stance amid the tensions between Wakanda and Talokan. This decision set up her level-headedness and emotional intelligence, which could make her a powerful leader within the MCU.
