Will There Be An ‘Ironheart’ Season 2 On Disney+? Here’s What To Know

After releasing in two parts over the span of one week, all six episodes of Ironheart are now streaming. The explosive finale introduced a Thanos-level Marvel villain and left several characters with unresolved storylines. So, what’s the latest news on Season 2? Or is this the last season on Disney+?

Ironheart marks the return of Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), who audiences first met in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2023). Now back in her hometown of Chicago, the MIT prodigy and armor-building genius is chasing her ambitions — while also getting entangled with the mysterious Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), a.k.a. The Hood.

The action-packed Ironheart Season 1 finale ends with multiple loose ends, suggesting this may not be the last we see of the MCU series that officially closed out Phase 5. Here’s what to know about the status of Ironheart Season 2 and the future of Thorne’s character in the greater Marvel universe.

Will There Be An Ironheart Season 2?

As of early July, Ironheart has not yet been renewed for a second season. However, series creator Chinaka Hodge remains optimistic that the superhero show will continue on Disney+ for multiple seasons.

“I’ll keep it with you a buck, I’m hoping for all work in Hollywood right now,” Hodge said in a recent interview with IGN. “Yes, a second season, a third season, a fourth season. Yes!”

When asked where Riri Williams could be headed next — maybe to Black Panther 3 in Wakanda — director Ryan Coogler admitted that he doesn’t know anything yet. “I don’t know jack sh*t,” he told Variety.

Coogler continued, “I’m here for whatever Chinaka’s got coming at us next; whatever Kevin’s got coming at us next, you know what I’m saying. I think the audience is going to take to that ending and I can’t wait to see those characters again.”

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Ironheart Season 1.

What Does The Ironheart Season 1 Ending Mean For Season 2?

In the Ironheart Season 1 finale, Williams goes head-to-head with Parker Robbins (a.k.a. The Hood), pitting her brilliant armor against his magical cloak, powered by Dormammu, the interdimensional entity introduced in Doctor Strange. She defeats Ezekiel Stane and eventually Parker, taking his hood and leaving him powerless.

The explosive final episode also features the long-anticipated arrival of Marvel villain Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen), who is revealed to be the mysterious figure that originally gave Parker the hood. Even after defeating Parker, Williams finds herself in a difficult position. She lacks the funds to build more tech — and her holographic A.I. best friend, N.A.T.A.L.I.E., disappears again after using magic to supercharge Riri’s armor. (The real Natalie died earlier in the season in a drive-by shooting that also claimed the life of Williams’ stepdad, Gary.)

Desperate, Williams strikes a deal with Mephisto to bring N.A.T.A.L.I.E. back. Instead, he resurrects the real Natalie, which could have serious consequences down the line. When Williams hugs her friend, dark scars begin to form on Riri’s arm (the same kind Parker had after wearing Mephisto’s cloak). Could she become futher entangled with Mephisto and go down a darker path in the future?

Then, in the mid-credits scene, Parker visits the candy/magic shop Stanton’s in search of help from Zelma Stanton. “I know you don’t know me, at least not yet. But if you’re up for it, how about a little abracadabra?” Parker says, leaving his story also open-ended for a potential Season 2.

What Has Dominique Thorne Said About Her Character’s Future In Ironheart And The MCU?

In an interview with The Direct, Thorne teased what she’d like to see for her character if Ironheart is renewed for another season.

“Actually don’t think I can even say that without spoiling everything… I would like to see her explore the full range of other options presented to her in season 1.,” she explained. “I think this time around, once again, her mind is opened about what actually exists in the world, realising that it’s so much bigger than what she thought even in her hometown, that things are so much bigger and there’s a lot more going on than she ever cared to know or to understand.”

She continued, “So now that she does know what’s out there, what does she choose? And, when she makes a choice, we know that she’ll commit. And so what does that look like for her to lean into the total left-field option of what we would expect from her? I think that would be pretty cool.”

As for whether Riri will appear in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars, she didn’t give a direct answer. “Oh, you know, what can I say? The odds might be in our favor. Who knows? We’ll see. We’ll see,” she told the site.
