Marvel Television will be showcasing a number of shows at WonderCon later this month and among them will be the world premiere of
Marvel Rising: Heart of Iron.
The
Marvel Rising franchise launched in late 2018 with a series of animated shorts followed by the
Secret Warriors main entry, which focused on a diverse team of teenage superheroes who band together to save the world.
Heart of Iron will be the second special for the series, introducing Riri Williams, aka Ironheart, to
Marvel Rising. The synopsis reads:
"In this 44-minute special, we find Riri Williams adjusting to college life and feeling socially isolated because she is younger than the other students. After Hala the Accuser destroys the school’s engineering lab and kidnaps Riri’s best friend, Riri finds inspiration in her hero Iron Man and hatches a plan to defeat Hala and save the day."
Sofia Wylie (
Andi Mack) will voice Riri Williams in this epic adventure and will be joined by Ming-Na Wen as Hala, Kim Raver as Captain Marvel, Mick Wingert as Iron Man, and Melanie Minichino as A.M.I. The special will also see the return of some fan-favorite Marvel Rising characters, including Ghost-Spider, Inferno, Quake, America Chavez, Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel, Patriot, Lockjaw/Tippy-Toe. As the trailer below teases, Captain Marvel will also be making an appearance.
The world premiere of
Marvel Rising: Heart of Iron will take place on Sunday, March 31, for those who attend the "Marvel Animation Presents" panel at 11:45 a.m. It will then debut on
