In a recent interview star Dominique Thorne talks about the challenges Riri Williams faces in Marvel’s upcoming Ironheart series. Speaking with SFX Magazine, Thorne talks about how the lack of a mentor, or a lack of resources challenges Riri in different ways.
She also talks about antagonist of the series, The Hood.
“We know that The Hood couldn’t be farther apart from Riri in terms of her being a very logical ‘show me the facts and run me the numbers’ person. Coming off the heels of this super vulnerable experience, with her having been imprisoned, that vulnerability presents a very tender opportunity for Riri to make a real and impactful decision about how her genius will impact the world around her. How will it affect the people that she loves? How can it affect her own goals and ambitions?”

“There’s a clear understanding that she’s not Tony Stark. She does not have a billion dollars at her disposal. She does not have the resources… she doesn’t have the mentorship, or the guidance,” Thorne says. “And so what does it look like for someone like The Hood to enter her sphere now, where she is vulnerable and reflecting? It does set the stage for a very interesting journey ahead to see the people who pop up as she’s working to get those answers and what the scale of their influence can be, if any?”
Marvel’s Ironheart will premiere on June 24 on Disney+ with the first three of six episodes. For now, rumors, but only rumors, say that the next three episodes will all drop the following week.
