Production

Development

A film based on the Marvel Comics character Riri Williams / Ironheart had a script written by Jada Rodriguez by July 2018, when it was listed on The Black List, although this did not materialize.[9] In December 2020, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced the Disney+ television series Ironheart.[1] In April 2021, Chinaka Hodge was hired to serve as head writer of the series.[7] In March 2022, series actor Anthony Ramos revealed that Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther (2018) and its sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), was involved in the production;[10] star Dominique Thorne first appears as Riri Williams / Ironheart in Wakanda Forever,[11] and Coogler's production company Proximity Media was set to work alongside Marvel Studios on select Disney+ series as part of a television deal with Walt Disney Television.[12][10] In April, Coogler's Proximity Media was confirmed to be producing the series, when Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes joined to each direct three episodes of the series.[8] Ironheart will consist of six episodes.[7] Executive producers on the series include Marvel Studios' Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, and Zoie Nagelhout, Proximity Media's Coogler, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian, and Hodge.[8] 20th Television also produces the series.[13][additional citation(s) needed]
