Sources from within have informed
Deadline that Anthony Ramos is set for a key role in Marvel’s Ironheart series for Disney+.
The Disney+ Ironheart series stars Dominique Thorne as Marvel character Riri Williams, a genius inventor and creator of the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man. Chinaka Hodge has been tapped as head writer of the Ironheart series.
The Marvel character Riri Williams first appears in 2016 from the creative team of writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mike Deodato. In the comics, she is a 15-year-old MIT student who reverse-engineers Iron Man’s armor to create armor of her own. Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, eventually took notice and gave her his encouragement to pursue the life of a superhero.
While details behind the Ramos role are unknown, sources say it will be similar to how Jonathan Majors was introduced as Kang the Conquer in Loki, where he is expected to not only have a big role in this series but in the future Marvel projects as well.
The premiere date is still TBD but sources have told
Deadline that Williams is expected to make her debut in the MCU in the upcoming Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which bows in November.
Anthony Ramos is credited with being one of the original cast members of Hamilton, starring in Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born remake and cast in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights. Ramos will be starring in the latest Transformers pic, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which is set to bow on June 9th, 2023.
