These with the latter have been not too long ago handled to the brand new sequence Ironheart, with Riri Williams following in Tony Stark’s footsteps. Robert Downey Jr. and Dominique Thorne have been in touch, and he not too long ago supplied a three-word response to the brand new MCU sequence.
Whereas hardcore followers are debating Ironheart‘s finale, others are nonetheless catching up on the sequence. RDJ obtained the primary three episodes early, and hopped on digicam to speak to Thorne about her spinoff. In a video on Marvel’s Instagram, the Oscar-winning actor supplied his ideas, beginning with:
I adore it.
Properly, he actually did not mince phrases. Whereas he admittedly solely had the primary few episodes, it sounds just like the OG hero of the MCU totally loved Riri Williams’ adventures in Chicago. Now I am dying to listen to what he thought of the remainder of the present, together with that wild twist ending for the title character.
This clip is total very endearing, and it is enjoyable seeing these two mech-heroes join on a private {and professional} degree. Whereas it is unclear if we’ll ever see them meet in upcoming Marvel films or reveals, there is a clear mutual respect occurring between the 2 performers.
RDJ even took to the feedback part of this submit to share (one other) fast message of affection for Ironheart. He posted:

In fact, Robert Downey Jr. is returning to the MCU. However fairly than bringing again Iron Man after Tony Stark’s demise in Endgame, he’ll be enjoying the villainous Physician Doom within the subsequent two Avengers films. Thorne is not wasn’t included within the Doomsday solid listing, however possibly she’ll find yourself in Secret Wars. Hey, a man can dream.

Spoilers forward for Ironheart.
As beforehand talked about, I would love to listen to how Robert Downey Jr. responds to the assorted twists that got here from the remainder of Ironheart’s season on Disney+. The Marvel present fused tech and magic in an interesting manner, and (lastly) launched the long-awaited villain Mephisto into the shared universe. And since Riri made a cope with him with a view to convey again her finest good friend, I’ve to imagine that this may affect future initiatives within the MCU. Significantly, what’s going to occur to Dominique Thorne’s signature character?
Given the massive implications that got here with the previous couple of episodes of Ironheart, I am hoping the studio addresses them sooner fairly than later. The sequence was seemingly common on Disney+, which could be a very good signal. However there is not any indication that Season 2 is coming, or the place Riri will pop up subsequent.
Ironheart is streaming in its entirety on Disney+, and the following MCU film hitting theaters is The Improbable 4: First Steps on July twenty fifth as a part of the 2025 film launch listing. And like each different fan, I can not wait to see RDJ return to the shared universe.
