In ‘Ironheart,' Dominique Thorne Suits Up for the Spotlight
It isn't a hard question: Where do you live? But Dominique Thorne, the 27-year-old star of Marvel's new 'Ironheart' mini-series, needed a moment to answer because, well, honestly, she wasn't sure. She had just gotten back from two weeks in Japan. Before that, she spent seven months in Thailand, where she 'ate my way across the country.' ('As a pescatarian, it was like a dream come true,' she said.) And now she was about to embark on a press tour to promote the six-part 'Ironheart,' premiering Tuesday on Disney+, in which she reprises the role of Riri Williams, the brilliant young inventor and M.I.T. student from the 2022 movie 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.' That tour will take her from New York, where she was born, to Los Angeles, where she holed up for a few months during the pandemic, to Atlanta, where parts of the show were filmed and where her parents and two younger brothers live. 'I'm at the point where I'm thinking now about where I want to settle down,' she said on a Monday afternoon last month, her big brown eyes sparkling as she settled in to a velour couch in the lobby of the Hotel Chelsea, in Manhattan. (For now, her mailing address is in New York.) She pulled an oversize Malcolm X sweatshirt over a sleeveless white top and green cargo pants. Her purple ombré nails glinted in the sunlight streaming in from the adjoining solarium as she reached for a cup of tea. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Damson Idris addresses Black Panther casting rumours
Damson Idris has neither confirmed nor denied he has been cast as Black Panther. Following the passing of the previous T'Challa actor Chadwick Bosemen in 2020, the F1 star, 33, has been linked to the Marvel superhero, and Idris has now addressed the rumours he has taken on the role for the third Black Panther movie. During an appearance on the Today show, presenter Craig Melvin asked Idris if he had spoken to Marvel about becoming the next Black Panther, to which the actor said: 'Yes, no!' The Snowfall star was then quizzed on if he would accept an offer to play Black Panther, to which Idris simply replied: 'Yes!' Bosemen had portrayed T'Challa in Ryan Coogler's 2018 blockbuster Black Panther, and had also appeared elsewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) with 2016's Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers: Endgame in 2019. After a secret battle with stage III colon cancer, the actor passed away in August 2020 at the age of 43. Following Boseman's death, the 2022 Black Panther sequel, Wakanda Forever, saw the mantle get passed to Letitia Wright - who portrays T'Challa's sister Shuri. Director Ryan Coogler is set to helm a third Black Panther movie, and the filmmaker recently confirmed Denzel Washington would appear in the blockbuster after the actor let slip he was attached to the project. Speaking on the 7 p.m in Brooklyn podcast, the Sinners director said: 'That's a big f*** with it. F*** with it or f*** out of here. You crazy?' Coogler added he was writing an original character for Washington that has not been seen in the Marvel comics. Speaking about Washington's role, he said: 'There's no fiction out there about that.' The director previously said he was 'dying' to work with the Gladiator II star. Speaking on the Nightcap podcast, Coogler said: 'I'm dying to work with Denzel and I'm hoping we can make that happen. I got every intention of working with him in that movie and as long as he's interested - it's going to happen.' Coogler went on to hail Washington a 'living legend and a great mentor'. He added: 'He's all about looking out for us.' The director also teased fans will have 'not long' to wait for the third Black Panther film. Washington had spilled his potential involvement in the next Black Panther flick when he was laying out what his final projects would be before he retired from Hollywood. He told Australia's Today show: 'At this point in my career, I'm only interested in working with the best, I don't know how many more films I will make, probably not that many. I want to do things that I haven't done.' Sharing the roles he had lined up before he sunsetted his acting career, The Equalizer star teased: 'I played Othello at 22, I'm now going to play it at 70. After that, I'm playing Hannibal. After that, I've been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. 'After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther. After that, I'm gonna do the film Othello. After that I'm gonna do King Lear. After that, I'm gonna retire.'

Damson Idris addresses Black Panther 3 casting rumours
Damson Idris has addressed speculation that he could become the next Black Panther. During an appearance on the Today show on Wednesday, the F1 actor was asked if he had had any conversations with Marvel Studios about becoming the next iteration of the superhero in the third Black Panther movie. When presenter Craig Melvin encouraged him to give a "yes or no" answer, Idris playfully replied, "Yes-no." Melvin asserted his response meant a "yes," and the British actor responded, "It could mean no." When asked if he'd accept the role if it was offered to him, Idris confirmed that he would. T'Challa/Black Panther was played by Chadwick Boseman in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, followed by 2018's Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War and 2019's Avengers: Endgame. After Boseman died in August 2020, aged 43, director and co-writer Ryan Coogler decided not to recast the character for the planned sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. In the 2022 film, T'Challa dies, and his sister Shuri, played by Letitia Wright, takes over the Black Panther mantle. During a radio interview on Sway in the Morning, Idris opened up about what the Black Panther role would mean to him. "It would mean everything, of course. Again, it's all about responsibility. But either way, whoever plays that part, if that part even happens, I'm going to be in the theatres supporting it," he shared. "I knew Chad(wick) well. He was an icon to us. Someone like Chad and what he represented, I think it's important that that essence carries on. I think that's what he would want." However, Black Panther producer Nate Moore previously insisted in February that there was "no truth" to the T'Challa recasting rumours. "We'll get into it later this year, but everything you read online is not true, if for no other reason than we just haven't started (working on it yet)," he told
