Fans are excited for Ironheart, the Disney Plus series that will feature the superhero of the same name. Otherwise known as Riri Williams, who will be played by Dominique Thorne, Ironheart will be something of an Iron Man spin-off. What’s more, fans will be able to see the character for the first time later this year – when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits theaters. Until then, however, it looks like development on the Ironheart series is quickly moving ahead. In fact, it’s just been revealed that actor Anthony Ramos has joined the cast of Ironheart.
As revealed via Deadline, actor Anthony Ramos will actually play a key role in Ironheart. Unfortunately, there isn’t much information beyond that. Although it looks like we can be expecting this character to show up beyond the Disney Plus series.
Here’s what was said on that front:
“While details behind the Ramos role are unknown, sources say it will be similar to how Jonathan Majors was introduced as Kang the Conquer in Loki, where he is expected to not only have a big role in this series but in future Marvel projects as well.”
This is certainly an interesting revelation. While Hamilton actor Anthony Ramos might be playing an unknown character, it’s clear that it will be someone major for the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. This could mean big things for Ironheart and any other projects related to the upcoming Disney Plus series. Hopefully we’ll have more details soon as to who Anthony Ramos could be playing in Ironheart, and until then, we’ll probably have plenty of other casting announcements in the near future. As such, fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for updates as we have them.
While the Disney Plus series Ironheart doesn’t yet have a release date, the titular character will be arriving first in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on November 11, 2022.
