Let the battle between metal and magic begin!
Disney+’s latest foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ironheart, will soon be out for all to see and now we officially know just how quickly it will be bingable.
This week, the streaming service announced that the Ryan Coogler-produced series will premiere its six episodes across two weeks, with the first block of episodes dropping at 6 p.m. PST on Tuesday, June 24. The first block will include the pilot, “Take Me Home,” as well as Episodes 2 and 3, “Will The Real Natalie Please Stand Up” and “We In Danger, Girl,” respectively.
On July 1, viewers can tune in to see the second half of the series’ first season as episodes 4, 5, and 6 drop on the Disney-branded platform. Episodes 4 and 5 are titled “Bad Magic” and “Karma’s a Glitch” while Episode 6, “The Past Is the Past,” serves as Season 1’s finale. As for whether or not it will be the series finale, we’ll just have to wait and see.
The show follows Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), a genius inventor and science wiz who fans were first introduced to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, as she navigates life back in her hometown of Chicago. The show is set after the events of Wakanda Forever and Riri is intent on making her mark on the world by crafting a tech suit so advanced that it rivals Tony Stark’s Iron Man creation.
On the magic side is the cool and mysterious Parker Robbins a.k.a. “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos), who makes an offer to Riri upon her return to Illinois that she cannot refuse. Also starring in the show is Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam and Anji White.
The series is the latest in a line of Marvel shows, which have been hit or miss for Disney+ as some fans have expressed “superhero fatigue” over the number of projects the studio has been releasing. Since 2021, Marvel has made more than a dozen shows, including major hits like WandaVision and Loki, and other less-popular programs like Echo and Secret Invasion.
The fatigue has also played a role in the MCU’s box-office numbers for recent projects as both Thunderbolts* (now renamed The New Avengers) and Captain America: Brave New World have not brought in profits the way the studio was pulling for. Marvel is hoping for that tune to change, however, with the release of July’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which stars Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Ebon-Moss Bachrach as Ben Grimm, and Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm. That film releases in theaters on July 25.
