Ironheart is just over a month away. We last saw Riri Williams back in 2022, so her imminent return is welcome news – especially since it's been five years since the show was announced.
The series will be the final small-screen project in Marvel Phase 5, and the second to arrive on our TVs this year after Daredevil: Born Again.
Below, you'll find everything you need to know about the new show, including the lowdown on the new trailer, the release date, the cast, and more.
So, for everything you need to know about the next MCU project after Thunderbolts*, check out our ultimate guide to Ironheart right here.
Ironheart release date
Ironheart will arrive in a triple episode premiere on Disney Plus on June 24, 2025 – and June 25, 2025 in the UK. That's three years on from Riri's debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which arrived in November 2022.
Still, late is better than never, right? While we wait for the new series, you can also check out our list of the best Disney Plus shows currently streaming.
Ironheart trailer
The first Ironheart trailer sees Riri taken under the wing of Anthony Ramos's The Hood. It doesn't look like it's all smooth sailing, though, since Riri's loved ones warn her that she could be in danger. Riri also builds herself a fancy new suit, which she can be seen flying in. Check it out above.
Ironheart cast
The Ironheart cast is as follows:
- Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams
- Anji White as Ronnie Williams
- Anthony Ramos as Parker Robbins/The Hood
- Manny Montana as Cousin John
- Lyric Ross as Natalie Washington
- Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington
- Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy
- Regan Aliyah as TBC
While the cast list seems pretty tied up, this is Marvel we are talking about, so expect to see some surprise cameos from other MCU faces as well. Sacha Baron Cohen is also rumored to be playing the villainous Mephisto in the series, but this has yet to be confirmed by Marvel.
We'll keep you posted as soon as any more names get mentioned! If you need to catch up on the timeline, you can also read our in-depth guide on how to watch all the Marvel movies and shows in order.
Ironheart plot
Not much is known about the Ironheart plot just yet. We last saw Riri in Wakanda Forever, and the show picks up after her adventures there are over.
Anthony Ramos is playing The Hood, who, as we learn in the trailer, becomes a mentor of sorts for Riri. Though he seems to be a pretty shady figure, and Riri's loved ones warn her she might be in danger.
"I think Parker almost is a guy who was a misfit," Ramos said onstage at D23 back in 2022 (H/T TheWrap). "He wants to take in other misfits and show the world that you looked at us as outcasts but we're going to end up on top. Parker is… a deep dive into a dark place. But on the inside Parker believes that he's doing good and Parker has a love for his crew and a love for his people. I'm trying to dance around the plot because I can't give y'all the deets! He's a complex guy and Parker kicks ass."
Plus, the show has Iron Man (or Doctor Doom...)'s seal of approval. "[Robert Downey Jr.] told me how excited he was and that he's rooting for it, too," Dominique Thorne told Empire. "I literally got two thumbs up. It's really reassuring to know you're not embarrassing Iron Man."
