Marvel's Ironheart Series Gets Stunning New Poster Ahead of Disney+ Release

Yahooa day ago

With less than a month remaining in the premiere of , Marvel has come out to drop a brand new poster for the upcoming Disney+ series. The one-sheet showcases Riri Williams in a new Ironheart suit with features that mimic the iconic costume of Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man.
Marvel Studios recently took to social media to share a new poster for its forthcoming Disney+ outing, Ironheart.
The colorful promo art shared on X (formerly Twitter) looks like an amalgamation of multiple layers, highlighting half of Riri Williams' face, with a freshly introduced mask covering the other half. Set in the backdrop of what looks like William's hometown of Chicago, the image predominantly contains a palette of four colors, namely white, black, red, and gold.
Here's the new Ironheart promo art:
While the poster only teases a suit that Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams could don in the Ironheart series, it showcases a design that MCU fans have yet to witness on camera. Additionally, the poster features a tagline, 'Every dream has a cost,' which sets up the high-stakes adventure that the titular character will embark on.
Taking place after the events of 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ironheart will follow Williams' journey as she attempts to realize her ambition of inventing technological advancements, including her Iron Man-esque suits. However, along the way, she inadvertently crosses paths with the magical world of the MCU after encountering Anthony Ramos' Parker Robbins, also known as The Hood.
In addition to Ramos and Thorne, the Ironheart series will feature the likes of Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, and Anji White in pivotal roles.
The show has already had to endure a significant amount of controversies, with audiences lambasting its first official trailer and Ironheart's co-creator, Mike Deodato Jr., claiming that Marvel did not pay him for the Disney+ series. Regardless, the Ironheart series is on track to hit the small screens with a three-episode premiere on June 24, 2025.

Andi Sklar: The Visionary at the Intersection of Art, Identity, and Experience

In a world increasingly divided between digital immediacy and physical disconnection, few creators manage to connect emotion, place, and memory as powerfully as Andi Sklar. A multidisciplinary artist, designer, and cultural storyteller, Sklar is recognized for crafting immersive environments and intimate fine artworks that capture more than just aesthetics — they capture a feeling. From contributing to global theme park experiences to creating tender watercolors that celebrate queer life, Sklar's career defies traditional boundaries. He is not merely a painter, or a designer, or a creative director. He is all of these things — and, more importantly, a visionary who bridges commercial design with personal truth. Born in Highland Park, Illinois, Sklar grew up in a midwestern town known for its tree-lined streets and proximity Andi Sklar to Chicago's vibrant cultural scene. He was a reserved but observant child, drawn more to museum halls and sketchbooks than to soccer fields. Family trips often revolved around cultural landmarks — the Field Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Milwaukee Public Museum. But one trip changed everything: a visit to Walt Disney World shortly after its opening. Sklar was mesmerized not by the rides, but by how everything — from the pavement to the lampposts — told a story. That realization planted a lifelong obsession: how to build a world that makes people feel something real. Following high school, Sklar enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). There, he explored everything from architectural rendering to theatrical lighting design. What made him stand out wasn't just his technical skill — it was his deep emotional awareness. His portfolio, even then, contained spaces that invited people to feel joy, memory, or introspection. During his time at RISD, Sklar began exploring themes of identity more openly, particularly his experience as a gay man. For his senior thesis, he created a conceptual exhibit titled Invisible Rooms , which combined architecture, lighting, and narrative to explore hidden queer histories. After graduation, Sklar joined Walt Disney Imagineering, entering the dream factory of themed entertainment. At Disney, he contributed to a variety of global projects, most notably Hong Kong Disneyland, where he worked as an Area Art Director. In this role, he didn't just design facades — he crafted emotional architecture. Everything from the curvature of pathways to the color of rooftops was carefully planned to evoke story. His work on Fantasyland was particularly noted for balancing classic Disney themes with Asian aesthetics, a subtle but powerful act of cultural adaptation. Sklar became known for his attention to detail and his ability to lead multidisciplinary teams with empathy and vision. While many would consider a career at Disney the pinnacle of success, Sklar saw it as a stepping stone. His passion for storytelling through space led him to projects with Universal Studios, DreamWorks, Nickelodeon, Warner Bros., and Sanrio. His work at Bollywood Parks Dubai was a standout. There, he helped develop attractions based on Indian cinema, such as Sholay: The Hunt for Bandits . Unlike other designers unfamiliar with the cultural source material, Sklar dove deep into Bollywood history and aesthetics to ensure authenticity. This commitment to research and representation set him apart. To Sklar, design is not just visual — it's anthropological. Despite success in commercial design, Sklar began to feel a pull toward more personal work. Themed entertainment was collaborative and large-scale — but it didn't always allow for introspection or vulnerability. He returned to painting, a medium he had loved since childhood. In 2018, he debuted a series titled 'Desert Trails', showcasing life in Southern California and the American Southwest through a queer lens. The watercolors were quiet but emotionally potent: a man lounging by a motel pool, two friends walking under desert stars, a couple having breakfast in a sunlit diner. These weren't grand statements — they were human moments made sacred through attention and care. Unlike much queer art, which leans into either political activism or flamboyant aestheticism, Sklar's work sits in a middle ground. His subjects are ordinary people in extraordinary lighting. His colors evoke 1970s postcards: teal blues, dusty pinks, and pale oranges. Sklar's art creates a queer nostalgia — not just longing for the past, but longing for the spaces where queer people have always existed quietly and beautifully. His piece The Sandpiper Inn features a retro beach motel, its sign glowing against a dusky sky. No people are present, but their existence is felt — towels hanging over railings, a drink left on a table. This subtlety is Sklar's signature. Throughout his career, Sklar has been an advocate for inclusivity in design teams. He emphasizes hiring creatives from diverse backgrounds and ensuring that narrative decisions in entertainment design include input from those represented. He believes that empathy is a design skill — one as important as drafting or rendering. Whether mentoring junior designers or consulting on DEI-focused design initiatives, Sklar uses his platform to make sure future creatives feel empowered, not excluded. As he once put it: 'It's not enough to build a world — you have to ask who gets to live in it.' Sklar's technical skills are vast. In themed design, he works with 3D software, architectural drafting tools, and digital painting. But in his fine art, he returns to traditional media — watercolors, pencils, ink washes. His watercolor process is loose and layered. He starts with a light pencil sketch, blocks in colors with translucent washes, and finishes with sharp details like signage, reflections, and textures. The final work often looks sun-bleached, as if it's been living in memory for years. He embraces imperfection, stating that 'a brushstroke out of place can tell the truth better than one that's perfect.' Though Sklar avoids the spotlight, his work has earned him growing recognition. His paintings have been featured in LGBTQ+ art festivals across California and the Southwest. Collectors often cite the emotional familiarity in his scenes, even if they've never been to the exact places he paints. He's also been highlighted in design circles for his contributions to themed entertainment, including guest lectures at design schools and panels on queer visibility in architecture and public art. Still, Sklar remains grounded. He maintains an online archive of his work not to promote himself, but to make his art more accessible to those who connect with it. Today, Sklar splits his time between consulting for design firms and working in his home studio. He lives in Palm Springs, surrounded by the landscapes that so often appear in his art. In the mornings, he paints. In the afternoons, he might review attraction blueprints or host virtual design critiques with students. On weekends, he visits vintage roadside motels and old diners, snapping photos for future inspiration. His life is balanced, intentional, and infused with the same thoughtful narrative that defines his work. Andi Sklar may not dominate headlines or flood social media with self-promotion, but his impact is profound. He has built worlds we've walked through, seen stories we've felt without words, and captured lives that rarely get portrayed with such dignity. His legacy is one of care, craft, and cultural empathy — values often missing in both commercial design and fine art. In an age of noise, Sklar's work is a whisper — but one that lingers, resonates, and redefines what it means to be both seen and felt. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Disney Plus is offering an assortment of ‘perks' to keep you from canceling when your favorite show ends

The Walt Disney Company said yesterday that it is rolling out a new 'perks' program for subscribers of its Disney Plus streaming service. The program features 11 benefits that Disney Plus users can take advantage of, so long as they remain a paying subscriber. Sellers or buyers housing market? Zillow's analysis for 250 metros Walgreens buyout could change the future of pharmacy care How to watch the UEFA Champions League Final 2025 live online or on a TV, including free options But it's likely that Disney isn't offering these benefits out of the goodness of their little mouse heart. Instead, the perks are likely an effort to reduce one of the biggest threats that Disney Plus and all other streaming services face: 'churn.' That's the industry term for when subscribers cancel a service during a specific period. The Walt Disney Company launched the new perks program yesterday, which is now available to all Disney Plus subscribers in the United States. Disney says the new perks program will be rolling out to other geographic regions later this year. Upon its launch, the program features 11 perks that subscribers can take advantage of. However, it remains to be seen how compelling the perks will be to the average subscriber, as they appear to be a mixed bag of random free trials, discounts, and contests. For example, two of the 11 'perks' are for contests. One, if you win, will let you attend the Freakier Friday world premiere in August, while the other gives you a chance to win a free Disney cruise. In other words, these perks won't be available to every Disney Plus subscriber—merely the chance to win them will be. The perks are also full of free trials or limited memberships, including a three-month free trial of Clear+, the airport security membership program; a two-month Super Duolingo free trial; and a six-month free DashPass membership—but only if you've never been a DashPass subscriber before. Random discounts are also available, including 20% off at and 15% off at and Subscribers can also get lower rates at select Disney resorts. And then there are digital perks, including free emoji, early access to the digital pin collectable experience, Disney Pinnacle; and free in-game tokens for the Monopoly Go! and Star Wars TIE Fighter games. The perks are available to all Disney Plus subscribers in the United States, and there is no extra charge for accessing them. Though Disney did not specifically state that its new 'always-on' perks program was an effort to reduce churn, that's likely what it is designed for. 'Churn' is the industry term that describes subscribers who cancel their streaming subscriptions, often when they've watched all the content they want to see, such as a specific movie or series. Instead of continuing to be an active subscriber to the service, they will cancel it to save money and then only resubscribe when the service has new content they want to watch. Churn stops Disney and other streaming services from receiving monthly recurring revenue from individuals. Instead of subscribing for the whole year, a subscriber who churns may cancel the service in February and not resubscribe until September, when new content of interest to them becomes available. This cycle of canceling and resubscribing is very familiar to streaming customers who juggle a lot of services and aim to keep their monthly entertainment costs down. In fact, you might say that easy cancellation was the original 'perk' of the streaming revolution—offering a contrast to the long-term contracts that were so prevalent during the traditional cable TV era. Disney is apparently hoping that by adding 'always-on' perks, it will reduce subscriber churn, as when the subscription stops, so do the additional perks. But that carrot-style approach will only work if the subscribers find value in the perks to begin with. Disney announced its new perks program as an 'always-on' one. It went with this branding because this isn't the first time that Disney has offered perks to Disney Plus subscribers. In the past, it has offered time-limited perks, like reduced fares on select Disney Cruise products. But given that most of the 'always-on' perks are still limited—such as the free trials and contests—it's hard to imagine that most Disney Plus subscribers who are churners will stick around just for the perks, unless they do a lot of shopping at Funko and Addidas and really want those 15% and 20% discounts. However, it should be noted that Disney says 'new Perks will drop regularly.' The company is also rolling out perks to Hulu subscribers starting in June, which include more contests and nondescript 'exclusive perks' from LG, Microsoft, and Pure Green. Disney Plus is a significant focus for the Walt Disney Company, as the service is a potentially massive source of recurring income. Therefore, it's no wonder that Disney wants to make it as appealing as possible to retain subscribers and reduce churn. Recently, signs point to Disney being aware of a possible slowdown in Disney Plus growth. When it reported results for its second-quarter fiscal 2025 in March, Disney said it had 126 million Disney Plus subscribers during the period, up by 1.4 million from the quarter before. However, the company gave a lukewarm forecast for Disney Plus in the current Q3. Disney said it expects to see only a 'modest increase in Disney+ subscribers' compared to the service's Q2 fiscal 2025 numbers. This post originally appeared at to get the Fast Company newsletter:

Silver Surfer & Fantastic Four Get Marvel Legends Action Figures Highlighting Powers

New Marvel Legends action figures of were revealed by Hasbro Pulse recently. Apart from Sue Storm, Human Torch, the Thing, and Mr Fantastic, fans also got a look at the Silver Surfer Marvel Legends action figure. Releasing on July 25, 2025, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an introduction to Marvel's first family in the MCU. Hasbro Pulse recently held a Marvel Legends fanstream and unveiled the new action figures for The Fantastic Four: First Steps characters. The figures give a clear look at the powers of Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, the Thing, and Human Torch. Additionally, the Silver Surfer action figure was also unveiled, with her cosmic surfboard. The Fantastic Four Marvel Legends action figures appear to be modeled in a way to highlight the powers of the characters. Sue Storm's figurine is paired with a forcefield. On the other hand, Mr. Fantastic, played by Pedro Pascal, has his powers depicted through a stretchy arm on his figurine, while the Human Torch has two action figures dedicated to him. While one figure shows Johnny Storm in his suit with two flame add-ons on his hands, the other one shows the superhero with his whole body on fire. Interestingly, the Thing's figurine is displayed in a comic-accurate way, without a shirt. Although the character sports a turtleneck suit in the movie, in the comics, the Thing appears shirtless most of the time. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Hasbro Pulse announced when fans can pre-order these figurines and wrote, 'Revealed during today's #MarvelLegends #Fanstream – the future of #Marvel's First Family has arrived. MarvelLegendSeries Fantastic Four: First Steps wave will be available for pre-order May 30th at 1 pm ET on #HasbroPulse! Each sold separately.'
