Marvel’s Ironheart has added two more names to its cast. Anji White and Sacha Baron Cohen have joined the upcoming Disney+ limited series.
A sci-fi action-adventure series, Ironheart follows Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), a genius inventor and creator of the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man. Thorne is reprising her role from the 2022 film, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The series and Thorne’s casting were announced in December 2020.
The show’s cast also includes Anthony Ramos, Manny Montana, Shakira Barrera, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Shea Couleé, Zoe Terakes, Paul Calderón, and Cree Summer.
White is believed to be playing Riri’s mother, and Cohen is playing a comic book villain, likely Spiderman’s foe Mephisto, per Deadline.
Chinaka Hodge created the series, which is set for six episodes. Disney+ will announce a 2024 premiere date for this new Marvel series later. It’s understood to be part of Phase Five of the MCU.
