Marvel Television's Ironheart Official Trailer 2

I was surprised how much I like the show. Really like Ramos as the Hood. I was annoyed that they missed a chance to use some actual minor villains for his crew. Like, Clown coulda just been called Bombshell. I like the actress playing the explosives expert. And, (Man I can't remember how to spell dudes name, but young Han Solo) is good too. The big reveal in episode 3 on his character is pretty epic and has me excited. If they use even a quarter of what they are setting on the table, it will be super cool. Riri is essentially a villain though, waiting for her redemption in the second half. They really robbed Peter to pay Paul so much from her that the actual origin couldn't be done. So this is almost like a mix of Hawkeyes beginnings and Fixer or something. Not sure if those are the best examples, but the whole sketchy beginnings that lead to being a hero thing.

As someone who lived in, and still lives near Chicago, it is awesome to see it on film As Chicago instead of Gotham! Marvel has always neglected this great city. Even when a comic is set in here, the artists seem to have no idea how the city looks. Totally iconic skyline just completely ignored when T bolts were in Chicago fighting on the beach, ect. Meanwhile, when I went to New York, I knew we went the wrong way cause it started looking like a Daredevil issue, lol! So yeah, just the sidestreets and neighborhoods being there feels pretty cool.

I didn't know the series was already on. I tried to watch the first episode, but it didn't hold my interest....I don't know why I barely remember this actor from the Wakanda movie. Anyhow, I'll give it another go this weekend.

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.

The hood has been sort of featured in the MCU- did you not see Luke Cage series?

Is it just me or did they make this version of the Ironheart armor to resemble the Ultimate Iron Man model? Looks cool but I just keep seeing it and thinking haven't we seen this armor before?

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. In other words, they all used their genius to manifest different and unique powers/equipment to THEM....they weren't all copies of each other. That said, at least the armor looks good, and the trailer looks interesting.

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.
