IRONHEART Actress Dominique Thorne Says in Light of Robert Downey Jr.'s Approval of Her Character, Fans Should "Get on the Bandwagon" — GeekTyrant
Ironheart actress Dominique Thorne made her Marvel debut as Riri Williams in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), and the character filled a bit of a void left by Tony Stark when he was ultimately sacrificed in Avengers: Endgame (2019). The parallels are obvious, with the pair each being tech geniuses who have the capability to create highly advanced robotics to help serve the good guys in the fight against evil. While Thorne's return to the MCU has been drawn out, we will see her return to play the lead in the Ironheart series, out later this month, and she teased a possible appearance in the upcoming Avengers films. In a recent interview with The Direct, Thorne was asked if we could expect to see her in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars . She responded, coyly, "Oh, you know, what can I say? The odds might be in our favor. Who knows? We'll see. We'll see." For fans who have not yet embraced her character, Thorne threw around the fact that Tony Stark actor Robert Downey Jr. himself has endorsed her, saying: "I would say get on the bandwagon. It's here. We're here... I mean, Tony's on the bandwagon, so you know, what's the problem? RDJ is here. It's nice here. It's cute here. It's comfy here. It smells good here." She also teased Riri's abilities in the upcoming series, stating, "I think we've got little tastes and teases of that previously. Throughout, you know, the phases that have led us here. But this, absolutely, to me, feels like new territory in terms of how tech and magic can merge, how they can work together, how they might clash. 'It's fun, it's exciting, it's dangerous, it's risky. It's all the things that you might expect. So, yeah, just another reason to lean in and see where this takes us in the broader context of the MCU." Ironheart will kick off with its first three episodes streaming on Disney+ on June 24, 2025, with three more episodes dropping weekly.

Marvel Studios Reportedly Developing HERCULES Solo Project with Brett Goldstein, Finally Giving That Post-Credit Scene Some Muscle — GeekTyrant
I'm sure you all remember that mid-credits scene in Thor: Love and Thunder where Zeus, in a god-sized tantrum, sent his son Hercules to go after Thor? It felt like the start of something big... and then nothing. Just another cool tease with no follow-up like Starfox, Blade, Clea, and Jake Lockley, all left lingering in the MCU's ever-expanding "We'll get to it later" folder. Well, according to scooper @DanielRichtman, Marvel Studios is developing a solo Hercules project, and yes, Brett Goldstein is still on board. The Ted Lasso star surprised everyone with his gruff, godly cameo, and now it sounds like that moment could evolve into a full-blown adventure. While a movie is technically possible, a Disney+ series or Special Presentation seems like the smarter, and safer, route. Marvel is developing more projects than it'll actually greenlight, so Hercules still has a bit of a gauntlet to get through. There's also some uncertainty over how Hercules will return. A team-up with Thor makes sense, especially if Thor 5 goes ahead. Maybe they fight, maybe they team up. Who knows? As for Goldstein, he was as shocked as the rest of us to land the role. In his own words: 'They turn around, and they reveal, 'It's Hercules; it's you.' And I went, 'What?' Just like, 'Are you serious? Are you [frick]ing with me? Is this a wind-up?' So yeah, it was as surprising to me as I think it has been to other people.' And no, he didn't have much prep time. Goldstein added: 'When I spoke to Taika, I said, 'You know I'm basically like a skinny comedian?' I said, 'When is this filming?' It was like in two weeks, and I was like, 'I mean, I'll do my best, but two weeks feels...' I said, 'He doesn't have to be as big as Thor, does he?' And look, on the day, I mean, I'm doing 400 push-ups that day. I was fit to explode. I did the best I could on that day.' But when it comes to the future? Even Goldstein's in the dark. 'I truly, honestly — this isn't me lying or being coy — I know nothing [of the future]. All I know is what I did that day and that's it. That could be it. It was a fun three seconds.' Hercules is officially back on the radar again, and it sounds like Marvel might finally be ready to put this god to work.
