Marvel's Ironheart has added another new cast member, with newcomer Harper Anthony set to join Dominique Thorne (Riri Williams) in the upcoming Disney+ series.
Anthony is a 9-year-old model, actor, entrepreneur, philanthropist and scholar who has previously appeared in Vulture City and NBC’s Chicago Med. His Ironheart role is being kept under wraps for now, but given his age, there's a chance he's playing Riri's younger brother (she only has a sister in the comics) or nephew.
In The Heights actor Anthony Ramos will also appear in an undisclosed role that's said to be "similar to how Jonathan Majors was introduced as Kang To Conqueror in Loki, where he is expected to not only have a big role 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 expected to make their live-action debuts during the show, but that's yet to be confirmed.
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, but we still don't have anything to back that up.
