'Ironheart' (Marvel Disney+ Series)

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.

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."
