This week we saw the completion of principle photography on the Marvel series Ironheart and the 20th Television pilot Deli Boys that were filming simultaneously in Chicago.
Ironheart wrapped in Chicago on Wednesday night. Crews were seen all over town for 7 days of location filming on the series that began filming in mid June at its Marvel home-base in Atlanta.
The Chicago portion of filming is expected to reveal the backstory of main character Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne.) The storyline follows the character Riri, a young black woman from the south side of Chicago. Riri is an MIT engineer with a genius IQ, who builds her own Iron Man armor. We got our first glimpse of the character Riri Williams in two Wakanda Forever trailers as she builds that first suit and gets her technology right.
Here’s a sneak peak as Marvel Target & Marvel Studios bring you an exclusive story featuring Riri Williams (yes, Ironheart!!!) from the upcoming film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
