Good Girls and Mayans M.C. alum Manny Montana has signed on for a series regular role in upcoming Disney+ Marvel series, Ironheart, opposite Dominique Thorne as titular teen hero Riri Williams. As is often the case with these casting announcements, no details on Montana's character were disclosed.
In The Heights actor Anthony Ramos will also appear, and while his role remains under wraps, it's said to be "similar to how Jonathan Majors was introduced as Kang To Conqueror in Loki.. He's is expected to not only have a big part in this series but in future Marvel projects as well."
The son of Iron Man baddie Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) and The Hood are also rumored to make their live-action debuts during the show. That's yet to be confirmed, but if accurate, there's a chance Montana and Ramos could fill either or both roles.
Sam Bailey (Brown Girls) and Angely Barnes (Mythic Quest) were recently announced as directors, and have reportedly been enlisted to helm at least one episode a piece. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler will executive produce via his Proximity production company.
We still don't know a whole lot about Ironheart, but the series is expected to stick pretty closely to Riri's comic book origin as "the creator of the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man." There's also been some speculation that the character could be ret-conned as a Wakandan since she'll also appear in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
