In “Wakanda Forever,” Riri is a super smart MIT student from Chicago who invented her power armor suit and a vibranium detector that catches the eyes of Wakanda’s leaders, the underwater king Namor and the CIA. Shuri (Letitia Wright) and Okoye (Danai Gurira) find Riri and protect her from Namor’s warriors from the aquatic city of Talokan. During an attack on Wakanda by Namor’s forces, Riri’s life is saved by Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), who dies in the watery warfare. Riri teams up with the Wakandans to defeat Namor, and she creates Okoye a flying suit of armor called the Midnight Angel.
The “Ironheart” cast also includes Lyric Ross as Riri’s friend Natalie Washington; Alden Ehrenreich as Joe McGillicuddy; Anthony Ramos as the villain The Hood; Matthew Elam as Xavier Washington; Anji White as Riri’s mom; Manny Montana as Cousin John; Shea Couleé as Slug.
Riri was originally created by writer Brian Michael Bendis, who helped bring Miles Morales’ Spider-Man to life, and artist Mike Deodato. The miniseries is created by Chinaka Hodge, with Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes each directing three episodes of the six-episode show.
