Marvel Television's all-new series Ironheart launches with a 3-episode premiere June 24 at 6pm PT/ 9pm ET, only on Disney+.
After reigniting my interest with the Thunderbolts*, and also having JJones in Daredevil season 2, imma gonna avoid this one, I never liked the character, and in BP2 the actress didn't help much.
I will check this out, nothing promising but if they really gonna introduce Mephisto, that definitely it is of some interest, especially if he's gonna be played by Sacha Baron Cohen.
Sorry but this doesn't look good to me, she was not compelling in black panther 2 and that movie was horrible to me. Same director so my hopes are not high for this and the hood looks ridiculous. Seems like too young of a choice for the role.
They use the word "iconic" a lot in this trailer. I think the emphasis (for the character- the series isn't at fault) should have been more on "original". Which this suit isn't. Which is what my concerns are with Riri and indeed, most of these alt versions. Sure, sometimes the comics will toss out the "legacy" tag, but its overused and mostly incorrect. In many cases these characters are just copycats, and not very good ones at that.
Riri's a super genius- look at some of the other geniuses in the Marvel universe: Richards, Stark, T'Challa, Pym. Experts, pioneers in their fields. I think it would have been better if Riri showcased her abilities the same way. That said, at least the armor looks good, and the trailer looks interesting.
Looks great to me. I love that Riri is getting her own series, I love that The Hood is finally in the MCU and I'm interested to see if Sacha Baron Cohen is actually going to be Mephisto. The hate it's getting from people that won't give it a shot or hate it for other reasons is ridiculous.

I must admit it looks better than expected. Looks like Riri has a bit more personality than she did in Wakanda forever. But I guess a multi part television series will allow them to develop the character much more than a guest role in a shorter format such as a movie. So that's another upside. After initial reservations about Anthony Ramos being able to play The Hood. Mostly because I wasn't familiar with who he was. I would say he at least looks good in the part. Hopefully his character will serve as an outlet to introduce a lot of those lesser Marvel villains into the MCU. One thing I have my worries about is it looks like they're changing the story and give no credit to Tony Stark by having her develop her genius under Shuri rather than reverse engineering from an old Stark armor. Of course there's no way to know that for sure off this short trailer but it certainly looks like that and honestly isn't that just standard Disney operating procedure? Other than that from first looks I'm pretty interested.
Okay, it seemed good, did it over the top excite and thrill me? no, it felt very basic current MCU, but I have hopes it will deliver, this trailer wasn't really doing a whole ton for me, but it's just the first one, also not quite sure about that Armor, still want to see a more comic accurate suit....... anyways The Hood seems interesting and looks good in costume, just cut that hair..which I think he probably eventually does.
Looking forward to it, because it's Marvel, but It seems pretty forgettable currently.
