Marvel Studios is Reportedly in Active Development on a IRONHEART Disney+ Series
About six months ago it was reported that Marvel Studios was planning to make a Disney+ series based on the Ironheart comic series. Now, according to The Cinema Spot, the project is now in “active development” at the studio and they are looking to shoot the series sometime next year.
Ironheart follows Riri Williams, a 15-year old engineering genius attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She develops her own Iron-Man armor suit. In the comics, this catches the eye of Tony Stark who supports her efforts and helps her grow.
With Tony Stark‘s death in Avengers: Endgame, it will be interesting to see which Marvel character in the MCU ends up taking her under their wing and helps her down the path of becoming a hero.
There’s no word yet on who is developing the series, but I hope they bring on a team of talented individuals to bring this character to life. I’ve enjoyed this character’s star arc in the comics and I’m excited to see how this series turns out, if these reports are true.
Marvel’s Disney+ series slate also includes The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, What If…?, and Moon Knight.
