Marvel's Ironheart Series Adds Key Talent Sure To Please Fans
By MIKE BEDARD
One of the most exciting projects that's still in development but already has a ton of star power supporting it is "Ironheart." Based on the character introduced in an issue of "Invincible Iron Man" in 2016, the story follows RiRi Williams, who will be portrayed by Dominique Thorne, as she builds her very own Iron Man armor.
Sam Bailey will direct the first three episodes of "Ironheart,” who previously directed episodes of "First Wives Club," "Grown-ish," and "Dear White People." Meanwhile, Angela Barnes will direct the latter half of the season by helming Episodes 4 through 6, with her previous credits being "Blindspotting," "Mythic Quest," and "One Day at a Time."
Chinaka Hodge, who had worked as a writer on "Amazing Stories" and "Snowpiercer," will serve as head writer. Additionally, Ryan Coogler, the director for Marvel's "Black Panther" series, will come on board as an executive producer.
