Ironheart Plot: What’s the Story About?

Set after the events of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ironheart follows Riri Williams as she returns to her hometown of Chicago after her expulsion from MIT for misusing resources and missing classes during her Wakandan adventure. Determined to forge her own path, Riri focuses on building a new, advanced suit of armor, drawing inspiration from Tony Stark but incorporating vibranium-based technology from Wakanda.

The series explores a technology vs. magic conflict, a fresh dynamic for the MCU. Riri becomes entangled with Parker Robbins, aka The Hood, a charismatic but dangerous figure whose mystical abilities, granted by a magical hood, challenge Riri’s scientific mindset. Initially, Riri joins forces with The Hood’s gang to fund her projects, engaging in questionable activities that put her at odds with her loved ones. However, their alliance fractures, leading to a clash that tests Riri’s resolve to become a hero.
