Dominique Thorne Talks Ironheart and Tony Stark’s MCU Connection
Actress said the full answer will come in the character’s solo series
Actress Dominique Thorne, who plays Ironheart in the MCU, spoke about her character’s connection to Tony Stark. Actress said more details will come in the character’s solo series.
“They are definitely similar, but two independent expressions of their beautiful minds,” says Thorne in an interview with Comicbook. “I think it’s best to leave the answer to the show for next year, so that’s when you’ll have to come to the real answer to that question.”
The cast of Heart of Iron will have Anthony Ramos (A Neighborhood in New York) and Harper Anthony, in addition to the protagonist Dominique Thorne. She will play prodigy inventor Riri Williams, who in the comics creates her own Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.)-like armor.
The cast also includes Paul Calderón, Manny Montana, Alden Ehrenreich and Lyric Ross. There is still the possibility of seeing Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat, as the long-awaited Mephisto in the Marvel series.
Chinaka Hodge (Snowpiercer) will be the showrunner of Heart of Iron, which does not yet have a set premiere date. Earlier, however, Riri Williams made her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever After.
