First debuting in Marvel's comics in 2016's Invincible Iron Man, Riri was mentored by Tony Stark and even created new armor and, with it, a new title: Ironheart. The live-action adaptation of the character in Wakanda Forever kept her MIT origins and saw Riri create a vibranium detector and, later, join forces with Shuri.

A new Ironheart poster promoting the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe show starring Dominique Thorne has been released.
