There are rumors that Disney and Marvel Studios are planning to replace Tony Stark/Iron Man with young newcomer Riri Williams/Ironheart.

For those not in the know, she’s a relatively new character in the Marvel Universe, a genius MIT student who reverse engineers Tony’s armor and begins to fight crime in it. Recognizing her skills, intelligence and seeing some of himself in her, Stark agrees to assist her in her superhero career (even going so far as to create an AI version of himself that fulfills the same function as JARVIS).

While Kevin Feige and co. are being understandably cagey about what Phase 4 of the MCU will look like, most fans conclude that Avengers 4 will be a good time to finish off the decade-long story of Robert Downey Jr.’s take on Tony Stark in favor of some new blood, and Riri might just be the one to replace him.

Though this is far from confirmation of that happening, Marvel Comics have added more fuel to the fire today by announcing that they’re “bringing Ironheart into the spotlight” in a new comic written by artist, poet and playwright Eve Ewing (making her comic book debut) and drawn by Kevin Libranda. We’ve seen examples in the past of how the studio’s tested ideas in the relatively low profile comic book market before committing to them on screen, so what better way to raise the profile of one of the potential future primary heroes of the MCU than to release a comic about her?

When Ewing was asked her opinion on Ironheart and why she’s such a great character, here’s what she shared:

“Ironheart symbolizes what happens when you combine incredible strength and might with a sense of love, care, and a true desire for justice. Not just punishment or showing off or short-term solutions, but real justice. Not to be corny or overly literal, but that’s what it means to combine the power represented by “iron” with the moral compass represented by “heart.”

Riri’s identity and the place where she comes from means she sometimes has a different perspective than some of her peers on how to deal with people who are doing wrong. There’s a reason she doesn’t just go around blasting everybody to high heaven because, to be real, she definitely could do that if she wanted. But she’s a very tender person at her core, and she doesn’t just want to be a senseless weapon.”

IRONHEART #1 will make its debut on Wednesday, November 7 with artist Kevin Libranda (CHAMPIONS) bringing Riri to life on the page.

Tom Hardy Reportedly Eyed For Live-Action Splinter Cell TV Show

It might have fallen off the cultural radar in recent years, but Splinter Cell was once one of the most popular video game franchises in the industry, with the espionage thrillers receiving widespread acclaim from critics and gamers alike, selling over 30 million copies in the process.

And like almost every other successful video game series, a live-action movie adaptation was once in the works, although it ultimately failed in escaping from development hell. However, it was announced yesterday that Netflix are working on an animated Splinter Cell show, with John Wick writer Derek Kolstad set to act as executive producer on what’s reported to be sixteen episodes spread over two seasons.

While the movie might be dead in the water, we’ve nonetheless heard that Netflix are also planning to mount a live-action Splinter Cell series that won’t be connected to the animated project, and apparently, the streaming giant are keen to have Tom Hardy play main character Sam Fisher.

According to our intel – which comes from the same sources that told us Netflix were developing a Witcher prequel weeks before Blood Origin was announced, and that an Extraction sequel is in the works, which we now know to be true – the company want to resurrect the abandoned Splinter Cell movie as a limited series with the option for further seasons, and having originally been cast in the lead role in November 2012, they want to gauge Hardy’s interest in finally getting the chance to play the Third Echelon operative.
