‘Ironheart' Will Continue Tony Stark's Legacy, and Robert Downey Jr. Approves
'I want to continue Stark's legacy,' says Riri Williams, the main character in the upcoming Marvel Studios show Ironheart. Played by Dominique Thorne, Riri is a genius inventor, just like the late, great Iron Man, but without his billionaire resources. That conflict will be at the heart of the new show, which debuts on Disney+ June 24, and Tony Stark himself just endorsed it. Two fantastic Ironheart videos just came online, one of which focuses on the practical suits built for the production. Executive producer Ryan Coogler, who introduced Riri in his film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, chimes in along with other members of the creative team. Here's where we get to see Riri really try and be the MCU's next Tony Stark. Gear up for a behind-the-scenes look at how Riri's suit came to life—straight from the filmmakers and special effects team behind Marvel Television's #Ironheart. Streaming June 24 on @DisneyPlus. — Marvel Studios (@MarvelStudios) June 17, 2025 In reality, though, we know that the next Tony Stark isn't Tony Stark at all. He's Doctor Doom. Robert Downey Jr. is currently in London filming Avengers: Doomsday, where he plays the titular villain, and the actor chimed in from the set to give his approval to Ironheart during an interview with Good Morning America. The full interview is below, but we've cued it right up to Downey's bit. Now, it's quite clear Downey is reading a pre-written statement there, and to some, that might make it seem forced. But he didn't have to read or record anything at all. If this were a political campaign, Ironheart getting the official backing of the Godfather of the MCU like this would be a big deal. And we still think it's at least a medium-sized deal, just because who better to know stories of geniuses in super suits than Robert Downey Jr.? Ironheart debuts June 24 and is one of only a handful of Marvel Studios shows coming to Disney+ in the next year or so. After this, there's the animated Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies, followed by Wonder Man in December, season two of Daredevil Born Again, probably sometime next year, and, finally, the Vision show. Will Ironheart be the best of the bunch? What kind of impact, if any, will it have on the MCU? We'll find out soon. Here's a look at the episode titles: Riri's notebook = unlocked. 🔓 Check out the official #Ironheart episode guide and stream on @DisneyPlus starting June 24. — Marvel Studios (@MarvelStudios) June 17, 2025

Tyler Perry sued for $260 million over alleged sexual assault by ‘The Oval' actor
Tyler Perry has been accused of alleged sexual assault by an actor from his popular TV series 'The Oval,' The Post can confirm. According to court documents obtained by The Post, actor Derek Dixon sued Perry, 55, for alleged sexual assault and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on June 13. Dixon claimed that Perry 'took his success and power and used his considerable influence in the entertainment industry to create a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic with' the actor. 11 Tyler Perry has been accused of sexual assault by an actor from his popular TV series 'The Oval.' Netflix 11 Actor Derek Dixon sued Perry for sexual assault and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on June 13. Instagram/derek_dixon When Dixon did not reciprocate Perry's alleged advances, he claimed the media mogul purportedly began to 'subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation,' per the lawsuit. Dixon claimed that he first met the 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman' creator at an event in 2019 and that Perry 'picked' him 'out of a crowd' and later asked for his phone number while suggesting that he might have a role for the actor. Perry then cast Dixon in two episodes of his BET+ series 'Ruthless.' 11 Perry has denied the allegations against him. Getty Images 'Perry said it was a small role that could get a lot bigger, thereby setting up the first stage in a series of escalating quid pro quo offers,' Dixon alleged in the lawsuit. In January 2020, the 'House of Payne' producer allegedly invited Dixon to his home in Douglasville County, Ga. Although Dixon hoped 'that he would be given a chance to befriend Perry and show him how talented an actor' he was, Dixon claimed that he was allegedly 'served many alcoholic drinks' and convinced to spend the night at the mogul's home. 11 Besides his many accusations against Perry, Dixon also included several years' worth of alleged text message exchanges between him and the 'Madea' creator in his lawsuit. 11 A screenshot of an alleged text message between Perry and his accuser. 11 According to the lawsuit, Perry allegedly wrote that he was 'jealous' seeing Dixon with other men. 'At the end of the night, Perry told Dixon not to drive home,' the lawsuit read. 'Perry said it was dangerous and that Dixon was too 'inebriated' to drive home. Dixon agreed and was escorted to a separate guest room, not knowing that this was a ruse to allow Perry to assault Dixon.' 'Dixon was tired and did not have pajamas and so he got into bed only wearing underwear,' the complaint continued. 'Before he knew what was happening, Dixon felt someone else slip into bed behind him and start rubbing Dixon's body around his inner thigh in a highly sexual and suggestive manner. Dixon turned around and saw that Tyler Perry was in bed with him.' Shortly after the alleged incident, Perry cast Dixon in 'The Oval' and allegedly told the actor to quit his other job as an event staffer because 'Perry was not able to control Dixon so long as Dixon had a secondary income that was providing for his basic needs.' 11 Another screenshot of an alleged text message between Perry and his accuser. 11 A third screenshot of an alleged text message exchange been Perry and Dixon regarding the latter's role as Dale in 'The Oval.' Dixon claimed his role as Dale in 'The Oval' was 'written as a gay, homeless, and desperate store clerk' who was forced to 'sleep with one of the other characters for a place to stay' because that was what Perry was allegedly looking for in a real-life partner. The most shocking accusation allegedly unfolded in June 2021 when Dixon claimed he was almost raped by Perry while once again visiting the entertainment mogul's Georgia home. He alleged that Perry pulled down his underwear and groped his butt after asking for a 'good night' hug. 11 Dixon compared Perry to Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and 'many others in the industry' who have faced similar accusations. Instagram/derek_dixon 'Rather than arguing, Dixon complied, at which point Perry reached out and yanked Dixon's underwear down from behind,' the claims in the lawsuit stated. 'Perry then began to vigorously grab, grope, and play with Dixon's buttocks in a sexual manner. Dixon was naked, stunned and seized by tremendous fear.' 'Dixon started to tell Perry that he 'did not want [his] underwear down,' that Dixon 'didn't want to be naked,' and that Dixon 'didn't want this,'' the lawsuit continued. 'Dixon quickly reached to pull his underwear back up. As soon as he did, Perry grabbed Dixon's reaching arm with a tight grip and held fast.' According to the court documents, Dixon was able to distract Perry and change the subject before the alleged incident went any further. 11 Perry's lawyer has called Dixon's lawsuit a 'scam.' Getty Images for BET Dixon ultimately filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in or around June 2024 before quitting 'The Oval' because of the alleged sexual harassment, per the lawsuit. Besides his many accusations against Perry, Dixon also included several years' worth of alleged text message exchanges between him and the 'Madea' creator in his filing. Dixon is suing Perry and Tyler Perry Studios for quid pro quo sexual harassment, work environment harassment, sexual harassment, workplace gender violence, sexual battery, sexual assault, retaliation, and more. 11 Dixon is seeking $260 million in damages from Perry. A.M.P.A.S. via Getty Images He is also seeking $260 million in damages. 'Just like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Sean 'P-Diddy' Combs, Kevin Spacey, Roger Ailes, and many others in the industry, Mr. Perry's success has led him to believe that money and influence can get him whatever he wants,' Dixon wrote in his lawsuit. 'That belief slowly transformed into the false idea that Mr. Perry can get whomever he wants,' he added. 'There are things in life that money cannot buy.' Perry's attorney, Matthew Boyd, denied the claims, telling The Post, 'This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.'

Couple elope at Chickie's & Pete's in Northeast Philadelphia: "It's about who you're with"
Crab fries, crab legs and true love set the stage for the elopement of newlyweds Heather Hanson and Eric Ghegan. Instead of going with a traditional wedding, they opted for a venue near and dear to their hearts: Chickie's & Pete's on Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia. The source of inspiration for the couple? They said it was their desire for a personal, intimate wedding amid rising costs. "It's not about how much money you spend or how big the party is, it's about who you're with," Hanson said. Chickie's & Pete's is a Philadelphia-based restaurant and bar known for its "Crab fries." The restaurant serves as a fan hub, especially for Philly sports fans on game days. But on a fateful Saturday night, a booth turned into a wedding venue. Chickie's & Pete's "Growing up, I never thought my wedding would be at a local restaurant. Every girl wants that big fairytale wedding, but it was absolutely beautiful. They made it feel so special," Hanson said. The newlyweds grew up as best friends and officially began dating following Ghegan's time in the Army. "It ended up lining up. We hit it off. We actually went to Chickie's & Pete's straight from the airport ... it's like he never left," Hanson said. The whole elopement was captured on video, racking up thousands of supportive comments. Some big-name witnesses even made an appearance on the day. Heather Hanson "So, the original Pete's grandson, Pete, and the GM — they were all so excited and so enthusiastic when we told them they had to sign our stuff. Obviously, they had never done that before," Hanson said. The elopement will forever live on in Chickie's & Pete's history — photos of the milestone will hang on a wall inside the restaurant. "I recommend everyone do it because it was a good time, it really was," Ghegan said. CBS News Philadelphia intern Sydney-Leigh Brockington contributed to this story.
