Ironheart stars Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Alden Ehrenreich, Lyric Ross and Anji White, among others. Chinaka Hodge is the head writer, who penned scripts for and Mike Flanagan’s The Midnight Club.
We get three episodes on June 24, followed by installments each Tuesday. Ironheart runs for six episodes. The show’s followed by the premiere of the animated anthology series Eyes of Wakanda on August 6.
