Mutants and Fantastic Families didn’t grace Saturday’s D23 presentation, though Kevin Feige had other bits of information to reveal for Marvel’s various projects in production. With the slate of Phases 5 and 6 still fresh in our minds from San Diego Comic-Con, Feige took the time to pull back the curtain a little more.
After footage of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, director Ryan Coogler joined Feige on stage to focus on Ironheart. Dominque Thorne will play the title character, aka Riri Williams, in Wakanda Forever before jumping into her own solo show. In addition to showing some footage of Riri in one of her armored suits, the images also confirmed that Anthony Ramos will be playing Parker Robbins, aka the Hood.
Feige was later joined by Paul Rudd, Jonathan Majors and Evangeline Lilly for Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania. Rudd said the film would be “unlike anything you’ve ever seen from us”. We’ll have a full write-up of that soon, along with one for The Marvels.
