“This show is an offshoot of how much we loved him in this movie and even on the page. So when we spoke with [Dominique Thorne] initially, obviously, the character was written into the script and she was the one and only person we were talking about for the role. When she said yes and we were on the road with the script, we also started talking with [Ryan Coogler] about what the show could be.
So the show is a direct sequel to the movie, and [Riri Williams] carries the experiences she had in this film home to MIT. And there are some interesting repercussions to her adventures that will set her on a fun path.

At Expo D23 2022, Kevin Feige revealed that Ironheart will face Parker Robbins aka The Hood in his MCU debut. Speaking of the plot and the dichotomous clash of magical and technological, Feige said:
“What’s great is that the character, [The Hood], comics, he deals with the dark arts. He deals with magic. Riri is a technologist. We’ve had tech heroes and villains. We had supernatural people who dealt with magic. We never had both at the same time, so seeing Riri face off [The Hood] in a way it’s very unique, which is what I think I’m most excited for.
