Robert Downey Jr. Praises Marvel’s Ironheart Series Success
Robert Downey Jr., the original Iron Man and current Victor Von Doom in the MCU, has expressed strong support and admiration for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's new series Ironheart, starring Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams. In multiple conversations with Thorne, Downey Jr. praised Ironheart for its ambitious storytelling, noting how the first episode packed the emotional and world-building depth of a Marvel film into just 45 minutes, and described the connection between Stark and Williams as "twin flames." Downey Jr. highlighted parallels between Tony Stark and Riri, emphasizing the series' theme of legacy and intellect rather than wealth, and encouraged Thorne to continue her strong performance. The series explores Riri's journey in Chicago after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where technology and magic collide, adding complexity to her character and the MCU. Despite Ironheart being a spinoff with no current crossover with Iron Man, Downey Jr. and Thorne share a mutual respect and enthusiasm for the character's place in the MCU's evolving story. Downey Jr.'s genuine enthusiasm and involvement in promoting the series underscore Ironheart's significance as a meaningful continuation of the Iron Man legacy within the MCU.
