Dominique Thorne returns for the miniseries and is joined by Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich and more. But when exactly can you watch the Marvel series?
What to expect from Ironheart?
The titular character of Marvel鈥檚 latest miniseries was first introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In the movie, Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), a genius inventor and MIT student, was the mind behind a vibranium detector that catches the attention of both Shuri (Letitia Wright) and the antagonist Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mej铆a).
She goes on to invent a suit of armour to rival those made by Tony Stark/ Iron Man and aids Wakanda in the battle against Namor and his followers. The film ended with Williams returning to MIT and leaving the suit of armour behind.
The brief pre-release synopsis for Ironheart from the Disney Plus reads: 鈥淕enius inventor Riri Williams returns to Chicago where she meets Parker Robbins, a.k.a. 鈥楾he Hood鈥.鈥
Both the name of the show and the trailers suggest that Williams will take another crack at making a power armour – and take on the mantle of Ironheart.
What time is Ironheart out on Disney Plus?
The latest Marvel show is set to premiere on streaming tomorrow (June 25) in the UK and today (June 24) for US audiences. Three episodes will be released this week – with three more on July 1/ 2.
Following in the footsteps of Daredevil: Born Again, Ironheart will drop episodes at a prime time for American audiences – which is bad news for fans in other parts of the world. The three episodes out this week will be released at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT – which due to time differences is 2am GMT/ 3am CEST.
It means that if you live in the UK or Europe, you may have to dodge spoilers when you wake up on release date.
When is the next episode of Ironheart out?
The miniseries is being released as a two week event – which is a twist on previous Marvel Disney Plus drops. Other shows have either landed all in one go or across multiple weeks.
The first three episodes of Ironheart will be released on June 24/25 and the final three will follow on July 1/ 2. The miniseries will have six episodes in total.
