Summary
The latest look intoMarvel's highly anticipated seriesIronhearthas dropped, giving fans new footage provides an electrifying glimpse into Riri Williams' evolution as a hero, blending her unparalleled technological genius with a surprising new element: magic.
The trailer sets a thrilling tone, opening with a poignant homage to Tony Stark, showing Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams hammering away, echoing the iconic scene of Iron Man's genesis.

'Ironheart' pits Riri's cutting-edge technology directly against the mysterious forces of magic, with the trailer teasing her drawing red transmutation circles and even infusing her suit with arcane energies. This new direction is largely influenced by her formidable antagonist, Parker Robbins, aka The Hood (played by Anthony Ramos), whose powers are rooted in dark arts and magic.

It also introduces her new AI, N.A.T.A.L.I.E., a nod to her childhood friend from the comics.
