After checking the official site, it is confirmed that the show is getting prematurely review bombed. What makes this instance a bit strange is that the series has yet to premiere the first three episodes, so no audience should be able to even review "Ironheart." Only the press is able to watch the series for coverage purposes. Dominique Thorne stars in Ironheart Dominique Thorne stars in Ironheart Disney The review bomb phenomenon is nothing new, as Marvel has dealt with this online treatment for years. "Ms. Marvel" and "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" are two notable shows that were review bombed before they were released. "Captain Marvel" also suffered a similar fate before its release. Clearly, there are those who are taking umbrage with Marvel releasing a series that is based around the new-age Iron Man. Dominique Thorne returns as Riri Williams, aka Ironheart. Williams made her MCU debut in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" as a student from MIT with the innate ability to create mechanical wonders. Williams creates her own version of the Iron Man armor, but draws the ire of the Talokan people. The Talokan people are led by Namor, who makes it a point to hunt down Thorne and warn the U.S. of allowing the sacred vibranium metal from reaching the outside world. This leads to a war between Wakanda and Talokan. Williams now gets her own miniseries, which details her creating the most advanced version of the Ironheart armor. Thorne has been sharing some wonderful interactions leading up to the release of the new series on June 24. This includes receiving a call from Robert Downey Jr. to not only give his blessing but to heap praise on the new series.
