Marvel drops first 'Ironheart' trailer — time for Riri Williams to suit up
After multiple delays, Marvel's "Ironheart" miniseries is nearly here — and we've finally got a trailer and release date to prove it. On Wednesday, May 14, Marvel Studios gave MCU fans a first look at the solo show spotlighting Riri Williams (played by Dominque Thorne), a genius MIT engineer introduced in 2022's "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." Riri became a hero when she assisted the Wakandans against the attacks of Namor, the Submariner (Tenoch Huerta). The six-part miniseries, which is set to debut on Disney Plus on June 24 at 9 p.m. ET with the show's first three episodes, will reunite star Thorne with her "Wakanda Forever" director Ryan Coogler, who is an executive producer on the new spinoff series. The two-minute trailer sees Thorne's Riri — soon to be known as Ironheart — having to navigate her way through her first "interview," which forces her to utilize that brilliant mechanical mind to free herself from a trapped elevator that is slowly but surely filling with a fatal gas. Talk about a stressful 101 course! Per Marvel, the official logline for the series reads: "Set after the events of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,' Marvel Television's 'Ironheart' pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne)—a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world—returns to her hometown of Chicago. 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)." It's during one of her encounters with Ramos's character that Riri declares that she wants to "building something undeniable ... something iconic." Something like your very own Iron Man suit?

That might be easier said than done, The Hood warns: "I can give you the tools to help you carry out your vision. But anyone who's ever accomplished anything iconic in life has had to do some questionable things to get it done. What will you do, Riri?" Along with Dominique Thorne and Anthony Ramos, the "Ironheart" cast also includes Lyric Ross as Riri's friend Natalie Washington; Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy; Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington; Anji White as Riri's mom; Manny Montana as Cousin John; and "RuPaul's Drag Race" star Shea Couleé as Slug. With scripts overseen by head writer Chinaka Hodge, the six episodes are directed by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes. "Ironheart" has faced several delays, moving from 2023 to 2025, along with changes in Disney and Marvel Studios' content strategy. We'll see exactly what Riri ends up choosing to do in her quest for greatness when "Ironheart" premieres on Disney Plus next month. As always, Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things "Ironheart" related in the meantime, from character details to plot points to new teaser trailers.

What 2 watch collectors took away from Watches and Wonders 2025
Self-confessed Cartier watch nerd Nic James and TickTockBelle Stephanie Soh share their highlights from the Geneva watch fair With Watches and Wonders 2025 (WWG) still fresh in our minds, Tatler GMT reached out to Nic James, head of The Horology Club Malaysia, and Stephanie Soh, one-half of TicktockBelles in Singapore, for their thoughts on the fair from an enthusiast's perspective. Read more: Watches and Wonders 2025: Tatler GMT editors pick their favourite watches NIC JAMES What watch releases or trends stood out to you? Last year's event left me a bit underwhelmed. There were plenty of releases, but nothing that really grabbed my attention. As a collector, it came across like the industry was playing it safe. But this year brought back the wow factor. We saw new movements, interesting technology, better case proportions, and thoughtful updates that made the watches more wearable. It felt like the brands cared about what was happening under the hood, not just how the watch looked on the outside. I was genuinely excited, and that hasn't happened in a while. Which maisons made the strongest statements this year? Rolex really stood out to me. They launched the Land-Dweller with the new Dynapulse escapement, and that's a big move from a brand known for slow and incremental changes. Rolex doesn't often introduce entirely new models, so this was exciting to see. The engineering behind the escapement is interesting, and I'm curious to see how it performs over time. What excites me most is its potential— does this mean we will get to see a slimmer Submariner one day? Ulysse Nardin also impressed me. I've always appreciated the Freak, but the new Diver [Air] really excited me. The skeletonised diver can handle 5,000g of force and is water-resistant up to 200m. It's like Richard Mille technology that can be taken underwater. It wore so well too for a 44mm.

How Rolex Makes a New Watch: The Story Behind the Land-Dweller
It takes Rolex five to seven years to create a new watch model, I just learned. It's March 24 and I'm sitting in the Geneva headquarters of the most important watchmaker in the world, with the platinum version of its brand-new, not-yet-announced Rolex Oyster Perpetual Land-Dweller in my hands. It's a fresh entry in a lineage that includes such legends as the Datejust, the GMT-Master II, the Submariner and the Cosmograph Daytona. The Land-Dweller, which also comes in steel and rose gold, looks a bit like a Datejust—with a glittering fluted bezel, a cyclops bubble over the date window and a metal bracelet with a mix of link sizes and textures. Of course, on second glance, any aficionado will see there's a world of difference. More on that later.
