The climactic battle of Avengers: Endgame concluded with Iron Man sacrificing himself by using the Infinity Stones to defeat Thanos and his army. Now, fans have been left to wonder who, if anyone, will take up the Iron Man mantle following the hero’s death.
One of the more popular suggestions is to see Riri Williams, a.k.a. Ironheart, join the MCU in the future, a sentiment Robert Downey Jr. echoed during his appearance at the Gene Siskel Film Center. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige commented on Robert Downey’s Ironheart comment, noting that he believes she is a great character while avoiding details on what the future holds for the MCU:
“I think it’s a great character, and it’s been fun to see how she evolves in the comics. I just saw that quote, too. But again, the future…”
In the Marvel comics, Riri Williams is a 15-year-old engineering student who builds a suit of armor similar to the Iron Man outfit using material she stole from campus. After hearing of her successful effort to prevent two inmates from escaping the New Mexico State Penitentiary, Tony Stark officially endorses Williams’ decision to become the superheroine Ironheart.
