On a dangerous adventure
THE first half of the new Marvel Studios miniseries Ironheart premieres on June 24 on Disney+.
Actress Dominique Thorne reprises her role as Riri Williams (Ironheart), a genius teenaged innovator who created an advanced suit of armour, rivalling the one built by Tony Stark (Iron Man).
First introduced in 2022's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the six-episode series is set to take place following the film's events, diving into the character's background, upbringing and determination to make a mark on the world.
The show will also introduce Parker Robbins aka The Hood (Anthony Ramos), an ally of Riri's who wears a hood that allows him to tap into dark arts and magic.
In an interview, Dominique explained how her character differs from Tony Stark's, despite following his steps in terms of innovation and intelligence.
The beloved character who kick-started the Marvel cinematic universe (MCU) back in 2008 with the titular film had the resources and foundation which Riri does not have, leaving her fully dependent on herself and giving her different challenges to overcome.
'She does not have a billion dollars at her disposal. She does not have the resources... she doesn't have the mentorship, or the guidance,' Dominique said.
'And so what does it look like for someone like The Hood to enter her sphere now, where she is vulnerable and reflecting? It does set the stage for a very interesting journey ahead to see the people who pop up as she's working to get those answers and what the scale of their influence can be, if any?' she added.
Ironheart is overall MCU'S 14th television project and is set to be the last series and conclusion of the Phase Five group of films and shows, which includes Ant-Man (2023) and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023) and Marvel's latest release Thunderbolts* this year.

Sydney Sweeney has become more ‘guarded'
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Sydney Sweeney has become more 'guarded' since shooting to fame. The 27-year-old actress has been working in show business since she was a teenager but her fame has increased over the last few years after she landed a high profile role in TV series 'Euphoria' and went on to star in 'The White Lotus', romcom 'Anyone but You' and Marvel movie 'Madame Web' - and Sydney admits being well known is difficult because she had 'no idea' how much she valued her privacy until she lost it. She told The Times newspaper: 'I've always been guarded. Definitely more so now. You let a few people in who you trust ... 'A lot is gone, like privacy. Which is huge. You don't realise how much that means until you lose it. I see all the time: 'Oh, they sold themselves, they knew what they were signing up for.' But 18-year-old me had no idea what she was signing up for.' Sydney went on to admit it is women who give her 'the hardest time', insisting she has to work hard to be taken seriously in her work. She explained: 'I have to be like, I want to be in the room, I want to sit in every single meeting and want to be involved inevery decision, I want to be taken seriously as a producer.
