Almost around the same time, Disney, on its official page, revealed details about Ironheart, including its plot and cast. A synopsis highlighted that the events of the show would be set some time after those of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which came out in 2022. It further said:

"Marvel Television’s “Ironheart” pits technology against magic when Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne)—a young, genius inventor determined to make her mark on the world—returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins aka “The Hood” (Anthony Ramos)."

"I’m very, very, very grateful for this whole journey that Ironheart gave me, because that's the only reason why I feel now, on the other side of my first step in the MCU, I'm not as fearful about anything [in my career], the way that I was before,” she said.

Additionally, Thorne also spoke about her approach in life, especially when it comes to picking projects to work on.

“Nothing about this journey or this walk has been easy for me, so I'm okay continuing to refuse the easier path of stress, worry, and anxiety. I'm much more interested in challenging myself to figure out how I can continue to exercise patience, peace, and stillness, because that has always been the thing that keeps me feeling like me," she said.

She further added that her main focus was her contribution and obligation, and that believed that she can be the "most helpful" from this focus.
