3. Iron Heart
As Robert Downey Jnr reaches the end of his run as Iron Man Marvel are surely looking for someone to fill his metal shoes. Riri Williams is exactly the character to do that.
A super genius, Riri built her own version of the Iron Man suit to do her superheroing after her childhood friend is gunned down by gangsters. This quickly grabs a retired Tony Stark’s attention who offers her a hand to take on the mantle of Iron Heart. One Marvel’s best attempts at increasing diversity in the comic books Riri has great chemistry with Tony in the comic books. However, the character is also interesting enough to carry her own story arch.
Who should play her? Samira Wiley. Best known for her run as Poussey in Netflix series Orange is the New Black, Wiley can play smart and funny. She’s also got the acting chops to bounce off RDJ and the rest of The Avengers.
