While rumours of a big screen outing for Riri Williams are yet to be confirmed, Marvel has announced that the young hero is set to take centre stage in her very own ongoing Ironheart comic book series, launching in November from the creative team of award-winning author Eve L. Ewing and artist Kevin Libranda.
“People don’t just gravitate toward Hulk or Captain America or Spider-Man because of their powers, the reason they say so-and-so is my favorite superhero is because of who they are as people and about what they stand for,” states Ewing. “So I think the really exciting thing is really building out Riri, not as just Ironheart, but who is she as a person?”
First created by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato Jr., Riri made her Marvel Universe debut following the events of Civil War II, when she used her own teenage genius smarts to suit up in the wake of Tony Stark’s absence.
