‘Ironheart’ TV series being actively developed by Marvel Studios for Disney Plus. I can dig it!

Unsurprisingly, Marvel Studios ain’t fucking slowing down! The latest development in their never ending deluge of content is an Ironheart TV series dropping on Disney Plus. Sounds good! I guess? Don’t read her comics, but I’m interested. I mean, I don’t read any comics these days. I’m trash.

CBR:

Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a Disney+ series based on Ironheart, the young armored hero who once replaced Iron Man in the comics.

According to The Cinema Spot, Marvel Studios has not attached a showrunner to the project, though the studio has been accepting pitches. The site reports a target date for shooting is expected to fall sometime next year, though that can change with the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic disrupting the entertainment industry.

Created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato, Riri Williams first appeared in 2016’s Invincible Iron Man #7 as a 15-year old engineering student attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Using her genius-level intellect, Riri assembled her own suit of armor using scavenged pieces of Iron Man’s armor. Riri replaced Tony Stark as Iron Man after he went into a coma in Civil War II, and later took up the mantle of Ironheart upon Stark’s return.

Ironheart is a member of the Champions, a superhero team comprised of other young heroes from the Marvel Universe. The team functions as a younger version of the Avengers, with the roster consisting of Ms. Marvel (who is also receiving a Disney+ series), Miles Morales Spider-Man, Nova and Vision’s daughter, Viv Vision.
