Marvel’s upcoming Disney+ series Ironheart has added Regan Aliyah (XO, Kitty) to its cast, as per Deadline.
Ironheart will follow Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams after her introduction in November’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Williams is a young genius inventor who creates an advanced suit of armour rivalling the late Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit.
As per usual with any Marvel project, story details and character details are being kept secret so there is no word on who Aliyah will portray.
Marvel’s Ironheart features a cast that includes Dominique Thorne (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Lyric Ross (This Is Us), Anthony Ramos (In the Heights), Manny Montana (Good Girls), Shea Coulée (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Zoe Terakes (Nine Perfect Strangers), Regan Aliyah (XO, Kitty), Shakira Barrera (GLOW), Rashida Olayiwola (South Side) and Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story).
