There is a Tony Stark sized hole in the MCU still now. His death in Endgame was tragic and unforgettable. But people are missing having a armored person in the franchise. And that’s where Riri Williams aka., Ironheart comes in. She is getting her solo show that sets her up for future adventures. But when is her Ironheart show set in the MCU?

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is going to change the MCU’s trajectory in Phase 4, and it’s predicted that it will bring the franchise out of its recent slump. After all, the movie is the sequel to the beloved first one and they will introduce Namor and a new Black Panther in it.

But there’s another character they are introducing, and that’s Riri Williams, who is going to be Ironheart in the future. Played by Dominique Thorne in the MCU, she will be inspired by Tony Stark and follow in his footsteps. In one of her TV spots we see her armor that’s named Mark 2, presumably after Tony’s set of suits.

We also have a sneaking suspicion that Wakanda’s resident genius, Shuri, will also inspire her. Fans have been eager to know when her show is set and we finally have the answer.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, Black Panther producer Nate Moore clarified that the Ironheart show is set right after Black Panther 2. Check out the video below:

Ironheart is currently shooting and we know that The Hood is going to be one of the major antagonists of the show. After all, he represents the magic spectrum of the MCU while Riri is going to be the tech and science side. It will be a clash of the mystical and the technical.

Apart from The Hood, rumours abound that Doctor Doom will cameo in it. So even though initial rumours pointed at Doom showing up in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but it looks like the plans were changed and he was pushed to the show that comes after the movie.

What do you think? Will Doctor Doom cameo in Ironheart?
