A brand new transgender character is expected to debut in Marvel’s forthcoming Disney+ TV series Ironheart. Back in 2020, the studio announced that a live-action Ironheart series was officially headed to Disney+.

The popular film studio also revealed that actress Dominique Thorne would be portraying the titular character. “Coming soon to Disney Plus, Dominique Thorne is genius inventor Riri Williams in Ironheart, an original series about the creator of the most advanced suit of armour since Iron Man,” Marvel tweeted.

Over the last two years, information regarding the show’s plot has been particularly scarce. However, Marvel’s recent casting call has given fans more insight into the series and its new characters.

According to a report from POC Culture, the studio is looking for a “Black, Latina or Afro-Latina transgender woman who is around 18-22 years old.” The casting call also described the character as “unapologetically nerdy” with a “mystical bent and unique sense of humour.” Over the years, Marvel has slowly introduced an array of LGBTQ+ characters within the expansive universe.
