Who Is Riri Williams?
Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, is a 19-year-old tech prodigy from Chicago. Introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, she’s back in her hometown, juggling MIT classes, family life, and building her own Iron Man-style suit. But this time, she’s not just tinkering in a lab—she’s facing off against dark magic and dangerous enemies.
