Overview

  • The six-episode miniseries premiered on Disney+ with episodes one through three on June 25 and concludes on July 2.
  • Dominique Thorne stars as Riri Williams, an MIT prodigy building her own Ironheart armor after her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
  • The storyline pits Williams’ cutting-edge technology against the mystic powers of Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood.
  • Critics have praised Thorne’s performance and the series’ visual design but faulted its pacing and uneven storytelling.
  • Filming wrapped in late 2022, but the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and pandemic challenges pushed the release to summer 2025.
