I would definitely cancel Disney Plus and Paramount Plus this month — here's why
The start of a new month is a good time to take stock of streaming bills. There are so many streaming services now, and paying for all of them really adds up. In 2025, streaming costs are higher than ever. Americans now pay an average of $61 a month for streaming services, according to a Deloitte report — or a hefty $732 a year. Luckily, it's really easy to save money on streaming by churning services, which entails canceling and signing up again later when the big, buzzy shows return. In June 2005, I recommend canceling Disney Plus and Paramount Plus. We rate both services highly, but few major titles are debuting on either in the next month. While they have some interesting offerings, they're not in the "must see immediately" category. Here's why I think you should consider canceling Disney Plus and Paramount Plus this month. We know a lot of families depend on Disney Plus' library of kid-friendly movies and shows., but during the summer, your household may be able to get by without it. Kids will be too distracted by outdoor activities, camps and vacations to miss streaming "Frozen" for the 500th time. Now that "Andor" is over (sob), there's little on the service to appeal to adults. There's only one big new original debuting on Disney Plus in June and that's "Ironheart." The Marvel show sees Dominique Thorne reprising her role as Riri Williams from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." After the events of the movie, the MIT student returns home to Chicago, where she becomes entangled with the enigmatic Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos) and discovers secrets that pit technology against magic. Though I, like several of my Tom's Guide colleagues, am feeling some Marvel fatigue, I'm actually looking forward to "Ironheart." I thought RiRi Williams brought a fresh spark to "Wakanda Forever." So, why would I cancel Disney Plus anyway? Well, the show doesn't premiere until nearly the end of the month: June 24. And after the first three episodes drop on that date, the other episodes will air weekly. I can absolutely wait until July to resubscribe to Disney Plus, then catch up on "Ironheart" and tune in for the last part of the season. And I'll have saved a little money without missing much. As for Paramount Plus, its June schedule is a desert when it comes to originals. "MobLand" is over and no Taylor Sheridan shows are in sight. The Tony Awards take place in June, but the ceremony is airing on CBS, which you can watch for free the old-fashioned way — with a TV antenna. Paramount Plus is our pick for classic movies and the service is welcoming more great films in June, including several "Indian Jones" movies and the "Godfather" movies. Yet, library content isn't enough for me to keep a subscription. Plus, most likely, those films will remain available on Paramount Plus next month. How much you can save by canceling Disney Plus and Paramount Plus depends on which plans you have. Disney Plus Basic (with ads) is $10 per month and Premium (ad-free) is $16. Meanwhile, Paramount Plus Essential is also $8 per month, and the Showtime tier (with the live CBS feed and Showtime content) is $13. So, you could save up to $29 a month if you cancel both. That may not sound like a lot, but it's not nothing, either. Churning streaming services throughout the year can save you a few hundred dollars. And with the prices of everything skyrocketing these days, every dollar counts.

Marvel's Ironheart Series Gets Stunning New Poster Ahead of Disney+ Release
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. Originally reported by Apoorv Rastogi on SuperHeroHype.

Dominique Thorne Talks About Her Marvel Character IRONHEART and How She Will Do Without Her Mentor Tony Stark — GeekTyrant
Dominique Thorne first appeared in the MCU in the 2022 sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever , where we were introduced to her character Riri Williams, a genius teen inventor who is following in the footsteps of her hero, Tony Stark, aka Ironman. We will see her return next month as the superhero Ironheart in the upcoming Disney+ series, but without the help of Stark as her mentor, how will she navigate the superhero world? Enter The Hood. Anthony Ramos ( Hamilton ) is set to play The Hood in the show Ironheart , and Thorne talked about his character, describing him as "this mystical, magical sort of entity" in the upcoming issue of SFX magazine, which features M3GAN 2.0 on the cover and hits newsstands on Wednesday, May 21. Thorne explained, "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?" She went on, "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?" It will be interesting to see what happens with Riri Williams and this mysterious new character, The Hood. Ironheart will hit Disney+ on June 24th. via: GamesRadar+

Ironheart: 5 Fun Facts About Marvel's Genius Superhero
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) reveals itself as a vast plain of existence just waiting to be explored by the everyday superhero fan. As we hit Phase 5 of the Marvel timeline, new characters such as the 'New Avengers' from Thunderbolts are making their big screen debut, creating hype for what's to come in their productions. Adding to the already equipped list of heroes is one debuting on the small screens, which has created much talk about her story on Disney+. 'Ironheart' is an upcoming television series following genius inventor Riri Williams, who was inspired to follow in the footsteps of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man. Here are some fun facts about the MCU's newest femme hero to get you started on her story: 1. She Reverse-Engineered Iron Man's Suit As a genius inventor endorsed by Tony Stark himself, Riri Williams was given the chance to work on her own inspired Iron Man suit, which fans were able to catch a glimpse of in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'. In the comics, her first suit was based on Iron Man Armour Model 41, which was one of Tony Stark's older models that she reverse-engineered to put together. When her personal project was found out by the FBI, she went on the run, which marked the start of her hero story. 2. She Is An Ally Of Wakanda Riri Williams made her first MCU appearance in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', where she was brought in by Shuri to aid in the upcoming war in the city. As war raged in the Citadel, she was protected by Ramonda, the Queen of Wakanda, who had sacrificed herself to save Williams. Feeling guilty for the death of the Queen, she aided Shuri in the battle to defeat Namor, where we catch a look at Ironheart in action with a newly improved Ironheart armour. She was named an honorary citizen after the battle. 3. She Dropped Out Of MIT To Become Ironheart Following the 'Ironheart' comics, Riri Williams debuts as a genius inventor enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). However, things were not as bright as they seemed, as her time in school was met with disrespect from her faculty's Dean. She scrapped the whole balancing school work with superhero work and dropped out of MIT to focus solely on her new life as Ironheart. 4. A Founding Member Of The Champions If you aren't familiar with the Marvel comics, The Champions is a band of younger heroes of the Marvel comics formed when Ms. Marvel, Miles Morales, and Nova quit the Avengers. They recruited Ironheart as a member as they formed a team that cared more about helping people than just about fighting bad guys. Not much is revealed yet about its MCU adaptation, but we could be seeing a premiere on Disney+ after 'Avengers: Secret Wars'. 5. Ironheart Has her Own JARVIS In a similar manner to Tony Stark's humorous AI, JARVIS, Ironheart also created her own AI, which helps her fight crime. Her AI is called the Neuro-Autonomous Technical Assistant & Laboratory Intelligence Entity, or NATALIE for short. The name has significance to William's past, as that was her friend's name who had been shot during a drive-by shooting. NATALIE personality is based on William's memories of her friend, which take a more dominating persona. Are you excited about the newest addition to the MCU? Ironheart premieres in Malaysia on Disney+ Hotstar on 25th June 2025, with a three-episode drop.
