10 Secrets Of MCU Phase 5 You Need To Know
8. Riri Williams Will Build Her First Suit Before Ironheart
In the few moments fans could bring their eyes away from a tissue during the staggering first look at the incoming Black Panther sequel unveiled at Comic-Con, the world was given a glimpse at the debut of none other than eventual Ironheart herself Riri Williams being greeted by the rumoured next hero to don the famous panther suit, Shuri.
And the presence of Williams within Wakanda's lab, along with the sight of her clearly piecing together her version of the iconic Iron Man suit during the trailer, too, make the idea of the talented tech-whizz already donning her cutting edge armour by the time her Ironheart Disney+ series blasts onto the scene in late 2023 feel like almost a certainty.
It's also interesting to note that in the comics Williams' mentor is none other than Tony Stark himself, making a direct MCU adaptation of her character from the page pretty difficult due to his Infinity-frazzled status currently. So, perhaps Shuri will be the one to step into the role of mentor on the back of Williams being inspired by Starks' suit and sacrifice in Endgame.
