Marvel drops Ironheart trailer ahead of June release

The cast also includes Lyric Ross as Riri’s BFF, Natalie Washington; Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy; Manny Montana as Cousin John; Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington; Anji White as Riri’s mother, Ronnie; and Shea Couleé as Slug. Jim Rash returns as dean of MIT (he appeared in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War), and Sacha Baron Cohen will appear in an as-yet-undisclosed role.

The trailer opens with Riri arriving at a shuttered pizza joint and ending up trapped in a poison-filled elevator with just two minutes to make her escape, which turns out to be a test—er, “interview”—by the Hood. “You’ll suffocate and die unless you break into the device on the floor, where you’ll find a gas mask,” he tells her over the elevator intercom. But Riri won’t play his game and comes up with her own ingenious solution.

The Hood is impressed and recruits her for… something, but it doesn’t sound completely legal. And Riri is just frustrated enough, waiting for the world to acknowledge her gifts and longing to create something “iconic,” that she accepts. She’s warned by Natalie, among others, that she knows nothing about The Hood or what his true objectives might be. And she might want to heed that warning, since The Hood tells her that “anyone who has ever accomplished anything iconic in life has had to do some questionable things to get it done.” Just how far is Riri willing to go to achieve her own dreams?

The first three episodes of Ironheart will premiere on June 24, 2025, on Disney+. You can watch a behind-the-scenes featurette below. We may even get a second season, depending on how well these six episodes perform.
