Dominique Thorne stars as Riri Williams / Ironheart in the series. The series was announced in December 2020, along with Thorne's casting. Hodge was hired in April 2021, with additional castings revealed in February 2022. Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes joined to direct in April 2022. Filming began at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia by early June, and will also occur in Chicago, to last until mid-October.

Ironheart is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in late 2023, and will consist of six episodes. It will be part of Phase Five of the MCU.

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.[11] 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.[9] 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;[12] star Dominique Thorne first appears as Riri Williams / Ironheart in Wakanda Forever,[13] 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.[14][12] 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.[10] Ironheart will consist of six episodes.[9] 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.[10] 20th Television also produces the series.[15][additional citation(s) needed]

Writing

The writers' room for the series was set to begin in May 2021.[9] Francesca J. Gailes,[16] Jacqueline Gailes,[17] Malarie Howard serve as writers for the series,[18] with the Gailes both previously writing on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022).[16][17]

Casting

Dominique Thorne was revealed to have been cast as Riri Williams / Ironheart with the series' announcement,[1] after Marvel Studios offered her the role without auditioning.[19] In February 2022, Anthony Ramos joined the series in an undisclosed "key role",[2] reportedly the series' main villain.[8] Deadline Hollywood reported that the role would expand to other MCU projects, similar to how Jonathan Majors appeared as He Who Remains in the first season of Loki (2021) ahead of his appearance as Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023).[2] Later that month, Lyric Ross was cast as Williams' best friend.[8] By April, newcomer Harper Anthony joined the cast in an undisclosed role,[3] and Manny Montana joined the cast in an undisclosed role in June.[4] In July, Alden Ehrenreich joined the cast in an undisclosed "key role".[5] A month later, Shea Couleé and Zoe Terakes joined the cast in undisclosed roles.[6][7] Set photos at that time showed Ramos wearing a costume similar to that of the character the Hood.[20]

Filming

Filming for the series occurred in Chicago in late May 2022, to capture plate shots and exterior establishing shots.[21][22][23] Principal photography had begun by June 2,[23][4] at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia,[24] under the working title Wise Guy,[25] with Bailey and Barnes directing.[10] Filming will occur in Sweet Auburn, Atlanta at a building built to stand in for a White Castle in Chicago.[26] Filming will also occur in Chicago,[15][27] and is expected to last until October 21.[15][23]
