‘Ironheart’ Star Dominique Thorne Explains How Riri Williams Will Have To Confront “The Weight Of Her Emotions” In Marvel Miniseries
Dominique Thorne spoke with Deadline about the beginning of Ironheart and how the series will explore her confrontation with grief
Dominique Thorne returns as Riri Williams in Marvel’s Ironheart, giving audiences a much closer look at the 19-year-old tech wiz than her introduction in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was able to offer. Thorne says viewers met Riri “in a real fight or flight type situation” when she was recruited by Shuri (Letitia Wright) to help protect Wakanda from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s (Chadwick Boseman) death — and that provided plenty of welcome distraction from her own life. Concludes Thorne: “When we got to this part of the journey [after Wakanda Forever], it was really just about leaning in and continuing to ask the hard and uncomfortable questions and make sure that Riri was just as unapologetic about going to those more intimate places as she has been about the belief she has in the tech that she creates.”
