Disney+ has become Marvel’s home for introducing new characters and giving them their origin story. This year it treated us with Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel TV series. Similarly, a new addition to the Superhero world and Marvel Cinematic Universe is afoot. The Marvel comic character Ironheart aka Riri Williams who was introduced in 2016 by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mike Deodato, with Eve Ewing and Kevin Libranda later redesigning the character. The character is all set to make his MCU debut in the upcoming Phase 4 film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. We got to see her first look in the Wakanda Forever trailer.
The trailer at least makes us believe that she is extremely pivotal to the film. After her debut in the Black Panther sequel, the character will be introduced to the audience via a Disney+ series; the series recently started filming as well as added a few members to its already impressive cast. As the filming has begun we have gotten the first look of the possible villain of this series.
Ironheart – Anthony Ramos Plays The Hood?
As the filming began for the show last month we’ve finally gotten some set photos and these are not some ordinary set photos. These set photos actually reveal us the villain of the show. Earlier this month, we’d gotten an update that Anthony Ramos will be starring in the film but we didn’t as what. Well thanks to the set photos I think we can figure it out as it is fairly obvious. At first, looking at the cast I’d presumed that Manny Montana will be playing the antagonist.
However, with the help of the set photos I think it is clear that Anthony Ramos will be the series villain as he is playing the Super Villain The Hood. Just to clarify Montana can still be an antagonist that reccuringly appears in the show but the main villain is Anthony Ramos’ The Hood. The Hood in reality is a petty criminal from the street of New York named Parker Robbins. However, Robbins gains superpowers after he steals them from a Nisanti demon as he steals his boots and hood.
The Hood and Ironheart don’t have much history in the comics so it is an interesting choice for him to appear in the show. Here’s the first look:

The Good Girls star Manny Montana joins the cast as a series regular opposite Dominique Thorne who plays the lead role of Riri Williams aka Ironheart. Along with him, In the Heights star Anthony Ramos and This Is Us alum Lyric Ross. The series will be helmed by multiple directors including Sam Bailey (Dear White People) and Angela Barnes (Gillian in Georgia), they’ll collaborate with head writer Chinaka Hodge (Snowpiercer). Hodge even acted as Executive Producer to Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther.
