One of the things that point to the future in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the character of Riri Williams. While all the main characters find themselves in the middle of a story arc focused on loss, the young woman is the only one who looks forward to the future with enthusiasm. Her mission is to build an armor very similar to Iron Man. Reason why the characters played by Robert Downey Jr and Dominique Thorne are very similar.
Precisely because of the above, Downey Jr. was kind enough to dedicate a few words to Thorne about his character. Almost as if it were about passing “the torch”, the former Tony Stark is content with the youngster becoming the new iron armor. One that protects the planet Earth, in the company of other avengers.
It was all recounted by Dominique Thorne herself, who did not know Robert Downey Jr. personally, but was connected to him through someone at the set of ironheart I already had his contact for having previously worked with him. The interaction was via FaceTime, but Throne still remembers it and recounts it as something very exciting.
“I didn’t get to talk to Robert before shooting started or anything like that,” he said. But right towards the end of the movie, I got a chance to talk to him via FaceTime. A fellow cast member ironheart I had done a program with him and he put us in touch. And he said some beautiful words to me about how much he believes that Riri Williams is and should always be her own person, her own thing. That this legacy is going in the right direction and all the beautiful and uplifting things one hopes to hear from Iron Man himself.”
In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Dominique Thorne is Riri Williams. Her character is certainly important because she’s about a high-IQ teenager who puts three different nations in trouble. Her innocent involvement sparks diplomatic tensions between Wakanda and the United States, while another kingdom to her rise wants to capture her to kill her.
Telling more about the character is not prudent if you have not seen the movie. But you should know that the Marvel universe is waiting for more Riri Williams in the future. So much so that his own television series ironheart It will arrive during the year after Disney Plus.
