MCU: 10 Biggest Reveals From D23
5. Ironheart's Main Villain
The question has been asked ever since the death of Tony Stark, who will step up and be the MCU’s new Iron Man? Far From Home floated the idea of Spider-Man taking the lead, while since the official announcement of Armor Wars, Rhodey’s name is certainly in the conversation.
In a much more literal way however, it seems that Riri Williams’ Ironheart could step up to the plate as the next genius in a suit of armour. After making her debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Dominique Thorne will be leading Ironheart opposite Anthony Ramos as The Hood.
Long theorised to be coming to the MCU, Kevin Feige confirmed the latter's appearance at D23, while Ramos himself hinted towards a running theme of technology vs magic throughout the series. If this could be anything like the interactions between Tony Stark and Doctor Strange in Infinity War, then fans are in for a treat.
The criminal who lucked his way into stealing the mystical cloak from which he got his moniker, and is a former member of both the Illuminati and the Cabal, could be a huge addition to the MCU.
