## Synopsis

Ironheart (2025) is an American science fiction superhero miniseries created by Chinaka Hodge for Disney+, a Marvel Studios spinoff of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Riri Williams, played by Dominique Thorne, is a young genius inventor who returns to her hometown of Chicago determined to make her mark, building iron suits with brilliance and ambition. Her plans become entangled with the mysterious and charming Parker Robbins, known as The Hood, while her own family and friends, including Lyric Ross as the AI presence N.A.T.A.L.I.E. and Anji White as Ronnie Williams, press on her life. The engine of the series is a young woman's pursuit of recognition against the costs of invention, with technology pitted against magic in a tense, grounded Chicago setting. Told across six roughly fifty-minute episodes, it is a single compact story rather than a case-of-the-week format. Its tone blends brisk action with crime-tinged intrigue and a wistful undercurrent about memory and identity. Fans of Iron Man, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Runaways will find resonance in its young hero's workshop ambition and its mix of teen energy and superhero spectacle.
