A new promo spot for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has revealed the best look yet at the two Ironheart suits Dominique Thorne's Riri Williams will operate and wear in the Marvel Studios film.
The Marvel Studios Hong Kong YouTube account has uploaded a new Wakanda Forever promo that features plenty of previously unseen Ironheart MK I and MK II footage. The TV spot also includes fresh looks at Namor and the new Black Panther in action.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will serve as Thorne's official Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Riri Williams/Ironheart. Created by Brian Michael Bendis, Mike Deodato, Eve Ewing, and Kevin Libranda, the character first appeared in Marvel Comics' Invincible Iron Man #7 in 2016 as a 15-year-old genius and MIT student who reverse-engineered Tony Stark's technology to create her own suit of armor. Following Wakanda Forever, Thorne will headline the Disney+ series Ironheart, which will pick up on Riri Williams after the events depicted in the upcoming MCU sequel.
Who Is Underneath the Black Panther Mask?
Although Marvel Studios has written T'Challa/Black Panther out of Wakanda Forever following the passing of actor Chadwick Boseman, the upcoming film is still expected to feature the titular superhero, with trailers showing off an undisclosed character in the suit. While it is currently unknown which character will take up the mantle, multiple reports, as well as a LEGO set, have suggested that Wright's Shuri will become the next Black Panther in the film and moving forward in the MCU. Wright, however, has remained tight-lipped when questioned if she would be the next Black Panther, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. But November 11, you get your ticket."
"Queen Ramonda, Shuri, M’Baku, Okoye and the Dora Milaje fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death," reads the official synopsis for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. "When Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, alerts them to a global threat and his disturbing plan to thwart it, the Wakandans band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda."
In addition to Thorne and Wright, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever stars Angela Bassett, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o, Martin Freeman, Tenoch Huerta, Michaela Coel, Florence Kasumba, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theaters on Nov. 11, as the final film of Phase 4 of the MCU.
