Marvel Entertainment on Monday (June 9) unveiled a new trailer for its upcoming superhero series, Ironheart. Starring Dominique Thorne as the titular superhero, the series is set to premiere with its first three episodes on June 24 on Disney+.
In the trailer, we see Riri Williams (Thorne), the prodigy inventor introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, attempt to refine her suit with the help of magic. However, trouble finds its way. 'Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka 'The Hood' (Anthony Ramos),' reads the logline of the series.
Fascinatingly, the final moments of the trailer also glimpse at N.A.T.A.L.I.E., Riri's personal assistant, akin to Jarvis, who takes the form of Natalie Washington (Lyric Ross), Riri's best friend.
Directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes, Ironheart also features Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, and Anji White.
Written and created by Chinaka Hodge, the six-episode series is executive produced by Ryan Coogler, the acclaimed filmmaker known for helming titles like Black Panther and Sinners. Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Zoie Nagelhout, Chinaka Hodge, Sev Ohanian, and Zinzi Coogler also executive produce.

How a $90M indie film beat Marvel, Disney: Highest-grossing original live-action in years out-earned Mission Impossible

There is a common complaint from mainstream Hollywood that it does not make original films anymore. Everything is either a remake, a reboot, an adaptation, or a straight-up sequel. Then you have the ever-growing cinematic universes, where everything is connected. Original films are rare, and their success at the box office is even rarer. So, it is a 'stop press' moment when an original film, not backed by a major studio, beats heavyweights like Disney and Marvel at the ticket window. Ryan Coogler showed his versatility in 2025 with the Gothic vampire film Sinners. Produced under his own banner of Proximity Media, Sinners starred Michael B Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, and Jack O'Connell in pivotal roles. The film, made on a $90-million budget, was snapped up for distribution by Warner Bros after an independent production. Ever since its release in April, Sinners has set the box office ablaze, minting $272 million in the domestic (North American) market. This makes Sinners the third-highest-grossing film in the US this year. But more importantly, it is the highest-grossing original live-action film in the territory in 15 years. To reach this peak, Sinners beat films like Dunkirk ($188 million), Crazy Rich Asians ($174 million), Knives Out ($165 million), 1917 ($157 million), and Nope ($123 million). The last original live-action film to do better was Christopher Nolan's Inception, which grossed $292 million in 2010. Sinners has not just topped the charts for original films, but also given several big-studio-backed IP films a run for their money too. In the North American market, Sinners' $272-million gross is higher than blockbusters like John Wick Chapter 4 ($187 million), Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire ($196 million), and Mufasa: The Lion King ($126 million). The film has even done better than Tom Cruise's latest - Mission Impossible The Final Recknoning - which earned $151 million domestically. Both the big Marvel releases of 2025 - Captain America: Brave New World ($200 million) and Thunderbolts ($187 million) also lag behind. Sinners, however, has not done wonders overseas, which is par for the course for an independent film not backed by an IP. The film has earned under $85 million overseas for a worldwide gross of $357 million. It still puts it above the likes of Dunkirk and Tenet, but the Marvel films soar ahead because of their high overseas gross. Despite that, Sinners remains the sixth-highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year. And it achieved that on a budget of $90 million with no big studio support.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen shows off new ring following marriage to actor Hailee Steinfeld

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen's broad grin was familiar. The wedding band on the quarterback's ring finger was brand new. As much as Allen hoped to talk about the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, the newlywed couldn't escape questions about his headline-grabbing marriage to actor/singer Hailee Steinfeld in Southern California on May 31. 'We're back to football,' he said, before pointing to his ring finger. 'Got some hardware now. So, good to go.' Allen was otherwise short on details as part of his longstanding bid to maintain a semblance of privacy, even though pictures from the outdoor wedding were posted on social media mere minutes after the couple exchanged 'I do's.' There were pictures of Steinfeld wearing a strapless white gown walking down the aisle, the couple sharing a kiss, and Allen, in a black tuxedo, posing with friends and Bills teammates. It wasn't until being asked about what the past four months have meant to him — in which Allen was named NFL MVP in February, signed one of the league's richest contracts in March and got married in May — that Allen finally opened up. He called Steinfeld his best friend, and said she makes everything easier. 'That was the most important decision I'll make in my life and I made the right one,' Allen said. Western New York and the NFL have a new power couple, both of whom happen to be from California and began dating two years ago. There's the 29-year-old Allen, who in seven seasons has set most of the Bills scoring and passing records. His star has continued to rise while he has transformed the Bills into an AFC power, also building his profile through various national commercials. And then there's Steinfeld, 28, who first gained fame by earning an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers' 2010 remake of 'True Grit.' She has since enjoyed numerous starring roles, most recently in the movie 'Sinners,' while also branching out into music. Amid the buzz, Allen brought the focus back to football as Buffalo opened a three-day mandatory set of practices. The quarterback skipped the team's voluntary sessions last week. Aside from taking his familiar spot leading the offense on the field, Allen spent time after practice being filmed to measure his footwork and mechanics. It's something Allen does several times a year to ensure he's not picking up bad habits. 'Making sure we're staying on top of those things and if there's something that we need to tweak for the better, we are going to try to do it,' he said. The same could be said of Allen's unflinching approach to dealing with the spotlight. Coach Sean McDermott credits the quarterback for staying true to himself. 'What I've seen is this truly genuine, authentic person who, yes, is in the limelight, yes, is one of the top players in our league, and maybe the top player in the NFL,' McDermott said. 'But he is so authentic, so down-to-earth, so relatable. I think that's really the connection and the cool piece about Josh is because he is who he is.' And yes, McDermott was among those in attendance at the wedding. 'I was very grateful to be there, No. 1,' McDermott said. 'Two, it was what you would expect of a wedding. Just great to see, and two really special families coming together.' AP NFL:

Miley Cyrus Says ‘Dancing in Little Clothes' Impacted Romance With Liam Hemsworth: ‘No One Wanted to Date Me'

Miley Cyrus is looking back at her time as a 21-year-old when she began 'acting out' and losing everything good that was going on in her life. While not mentioning anyone's name, the singer shared how her engagement fell through because she was 'sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only,' hinting at the alleged reason behind her 2013 breakup with Liam Hemsworth. In a podcast called Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, the 32-year-old went on to share how the troublesome times in 2013, including her leaving Disney and going n*de, massively affected her relationships. "If I kept dressing or acting a certain way, my relationships fell apart. No one wanted to date me,' she shared, hinting at a dry dating spell. How Miley Cyrus' Relationship With Liam Hemsworth Went Astray The singer and the actor began dating in 2009 after starring together in The Last Song. Their tumultuous relationship turned into an engagement in 2012, which was soon called off the following year. The breakup came with a bold moment for her music as one of her most controversial releases, her fourth studio album Bangerz, saw the light of day. Recalling those days, the Hannah Montana star said, "When I was dating, or I was engaged at the time, but that didn't work out because I was sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only, and the fact that I would pose n*de or dance in very little clothes or show my body, was making them feel that I was taking something away that was meant to be for them." The Wrecking Ball star added how she had 'really hard times dating.' Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth reunited in 2017, got engaged in October 2016 and married in December 2018. Their relationship came to a close in January 2020 with a finalized divorce.
