With the premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever a new character was introduced that has sparked a relative controversy among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). We are talking about Riri Williams, a relatively cult character in the world of comics but who on the tape, with his Ironheart armor, was shown as a kind of relief from Iron Man.
The sequel to Black Panther gave us a story with bittersweet and emotional nuances, where the first minutes represented an endearing farewell to the legacy of Chadwick Boseman and his character. But then the tape turns into one long transition plot.
Wakanda Forever has conflicts on multiple fronts, the plot does not have an impeccable rhythm, there are too many characters on stage, with a cast that gives us performances worthy of an Oscar nomination along with other actors who recite lines almost automatically.
The villain (and later ally) of the film is not exactly consistent in the evolution of his dramatic arc and the third act of the feature film looks as saturated as it is entangled, with an ending that seems relatively forced and far from the standard set by the first film. , which was not that tall.
All wrapped up by a majestic soundtrack and terrible post-production decisions with CGI digital effects, where the character of Riri Williams participated in many questionable sequences.
Dominique Thorne talks about the topic of Ironheart taking over from Iron Man
the colleagues of The Hollywood Reporter have published through their official Twitter account the video of a brief interview with Dominique Thorne, actress in charge of playing Riri Williams/Ironheart in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
In the brief talk, the actress addressed the elephant in the room, when talking about this whole issue of her character presented on the tape as a kind of relief from Tony Stark and therefore Iron Man:
“Now I feel like people are really interested in finding out more about who this character is, Riri Williams. I remember when the announcement was made that she was going into the MCU.
There were a lot of questions and definitely some concerns as to why, and what his future might be in the MCU. And now it seems that people are very excited to see what it is. So I’m very excited to continue that journey with them.”
This is how the panorama is diffuse and even a little uncertain even for her. Riri Williams will have her own television series for Disney + under the name Ironheart and we will probably all have more answers there.
