00:00I got into Marvel as a kid, going to comic book shops.
00:03I was really big on X-Men and all 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 of 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.
01:03In 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.
01:14Which 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 got it, they know I got it, they know I got it, they know I got it.
