A merch leak also suggested actor Tenoch Huerta would play the character. In the comics, Wakanda and Atlantis went to war after what took place in Avengers Vs. X-Men. However, we don’t know at this time if the film is going to explore that conflict or an entirely different thing.

Ironheart was created by Mike Deodato, Brian Michael Bend, Kevin Libranda, and Eve Ewing, Williams made a cameo in Invincible Iron Man #7 (2016). The genius built her own variant of Stark’s Iron Man armor and has since been a key member of the Champions. After her debut appearance in Wakanda Forever, Williams will make a comeback in Ironheart, a series on Disney+ exploring her character.

Plot details for that series are very scarce right now. Actor Dominique Thorne seemed very excited about her role, as the production has stated,

“We’re shooting Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, right now, and the character of Riri Williams, you will meet in Black Panther 2 first,” Feige said in an interview surrounding the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. “She started shooting, I think, this week before her Ironheart series.
