'Ironheart' (Marvel Disney+ Series)

[Mr Ferret 75]

He's been in 6 big budget movies. Many of them as one of the main villains (including the first Avengers movie).

Ironheart is just a new generation character, that hasn't sold comics. Like usual, instead of trying to be her own character, with her own abilities she's mooching off of Ironman.

He wasn't a mainstream fan favourite character until the MCU made him one via films and TV show.

If you keep putting out the same charts year after year people will stop watching.

 

[Disney Irish]

You can't compare Ironman to Agatha Harkness or Echo. No one reads their comics or buys their toys. People didn't even want Echo on the show she appeared in. Let alone giving her her own show.

As for Ironheart, she's just a cheap knockoff.

Whose comics has never.... eeeeever sold well. Much like America Chavez and countless others they've been shoehorning in. You want female representation give us Storm, Rogue and a better version of She-Hulk, that doesn't man hate.

Glad to know that you speak for the entire world when you say people don't want something.

Also since the majority of the world doesn't read comics, how would you know what the public at large will respond to? Just because some character in the comics didn't sell well doesn't mean that that same thing will happen with the MCU version. Again the MCU was built on top of characters that were the B-list characters, ie didn't sell particularly very well in the comics.

And lastly Storm, Rogue, and others females characters ARE coming to the MCU. Not everything can happen on your timescale, it takes time to build things out.

It did not work as a comic book, and I dont understand how they think it will work on Disney+. Honestly its my least anticipated Marvel show. I liked Ms Marvel, better than Capt Marvel. I dont think it will make it, as people want Iron Man. Yes RDJ is probably done with the role, but its Marvel, very very few characters ever stay dead for long. Tony has been DEAD how many times? Tony wasnt Iron Man How many times?? I know thats the Comics, and live action can be different. But its been a good indicator for the reception of some of the shows if you look at Rotten Tomatoes and other places, meaning Audience Reviews not the Paid Shills errr I mean Critics.

AVENGERS: SECRET WARS Rumored To Bring Robert Downey Jr. Back As Tony Stark/Iron Man

We bid a tearful farewell to Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame, but a new rumour suggests Marvel Studios has plans for his Armoured Avenger to make his return in Avengers: Secret Wars...

Most likely as a hologram message, flashback, or (gag) as some sort of AI robot or whatever that Tony developed.

 

[Disney Irish]

How did Ms. Marvel do with her series? Not good at all, so there's some more proof for you. Creating more characters that didn't sell well or are completely irrelevant (Echo) ... just isn't a good idea.

Why would we want to see characters who aren't... good before top tier characters? People would much rather see...

Blade, Ghost Rider, Xmen, Fantastic Four, Iron Fist, The Punisher, Gambit, etc

Again glad to know that you speak for the entire world and know exactly what 7.98 Billion people want.

 

[Disney Irish]

Well maybe instead of trying to speaking for the entire population you speak for yourself only.

The point is while you have your own opinion on this topic everyone else has their opinion as well. There will always be someone that doesn't like something, but also someone that does. That is what makes this world great, you have the choice to like it or not. If you don't then you can speak your opinion for yourself, but not the entire population of what "people would rather see", as you don't speak for all people.

 

[Ghost93]

I, for one, am glad that Tony Stark is dead in the MCU. He was a good character but it's time to move on.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I look forward to Ironheart. I have pretty much enjoyed all Marvel content. Some more than others. But none that I thought it was bad.

I'm not sure that's supporting your point since Ms. Marvel is actually one of the stronger selling comics in recent times for Marvel.

"Veteran Canadian-American voice actress Cree Summer has joined the cast of Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart, sources tell Deadline. A rep for Marvel declined comment.

As Deadline reported earlier this month, Sacha Baron Cohen also has been tipped for a role in the series. Since our story ran, there has been further proof that Baron Cohen has joined the MCU, something Marvel and his reps have refused to comment on. I hear he may appear later in Ironheart’s run, with Episodes 5-6 considered likely. In addition to in-person scenes, rumor is that there have been scans for CGI effects, which would indicate a superhero alter ego for Baron Cohen’s character. He is believed to be playing a comic book villain, probably Mephisto."

So I assume Baron Cohen will be doing the voice to an all CG character.

Are we skipping over Iron Lad? He is suppose to be the young version of Kang the Conquer.

There's still the Kang Dynasty movie to come.

Also, I believe Iron Lad is mostly a character in use for a complicated Kang timey wimey story arc. His time as an Avenger is bound to that and transforms later out of that persona.

Whereas Riri's Iron Heart, is just a straight up passing-of-the-mantle-ish of Iron Man.

Agreed. We might see Iron Lad for a few seconds when we get more Kang backstory. I still never liked the Young Avengers when I was a kid.

 

[Ghost93]

Iron Lad is just a young version of Kang the Conqueror and he was only a member of the Young Avengers for their first run. I wouldn't be shocked at all if they replaced him with Ironheart in the MCU version of Young Avengers.

If Iron Lad is "replaced" by Ironheart, I wonder if they will give Riri some sort of connection to Kang. Could she be a female variant of Kang? After all, the Loki series showed variants don't have to be the same gender.

Here's the latest update from THR.

"Ironheart, a show focused on genius-inventor Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) first introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, was to have dropped this fall but that is now off the schedule. It finished shooting but its completion is affected by the strikes."
