00:00I got into Marvel as a kid going to comic book shops.
00:03I was really big on X-Men and all of the offshoots, like X-Factor and Wolverine.
00:08When Ironheart came out, I remember the buzz around the industry.
00:11I was really excited.
00:13In 2016, Brian Michael Bendis, a really famous creative in the comic book world,
00:17created a character, Riri Williams.
00:20A lot of people think that she's a successor to the Iron Man legacy,
00:23but in the comic book, Riri and Tony had a friendship.
00:25He was kind of advising her, and eventually, she got her own identity as Ironheart.
00:30It was really exciting for me, bringing that character into the MCU in Wakanda forever.
00:35The story of Ironheart is not a story about the mantle of Iron Man getting passed.
00:40If anything, it's the opposite.
00:41It's really about her proving herself and achieving her own legacy.
00:46No!
00:48I'm very excited to get a heavy-hitting introduction.
00:52It was really great to have Ryan as an executive producer.
00:54He really helped with the storytelling of Ironheart.
00:57The comic books in Wakanda Forever did a really great job of laying a backstory for Riri in her origin story.
01:04In our series, we're telling the story of what happens the days after Wakanda,
01:07in the formative years of the superhero.
01:10What's cool about her is she's a bit disruptive.
01:12He wanted me to be small, but I refused, which really sets her apart in our show.
01:16He might be a hero after all.
01:17I love how this story takes Riri on a totally new journey.
01:22I want to build something undeniable.
01:24Something iconic.
01:27Riri, I see you.
01:28Waiting to be acknowledged for your greatness.
01:31I'm very excited about Ironheart.
01:33I'm honored to have the opportunity to be delivering these stories that people love so much.
01:36Let's get to work.
01:37I am honored to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able.
