Ironheart is close to making its debut amid the 2025 TV schedule, and with it comes a wave of questions about what lies ahead for protagonist Riri Williams in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Something that hasn’t been in question, however, is how Iron Man icon Robert Downey Jr. feels about another armored hero being in the MCU. Downey has shown the upcoming show’s lead actress, Dominique Thorne a lot of support and most recently did so via a video message. Both the video and Thorne’s reaction are so great.
Dominique Thorne and fellow Ironheart cast member Anthony Ramos promoted their new show while appearing on Good Morning America. It was during the broadcast that co-host Robin Roberts surprised the duo with a pre-recorded greeting from Robert Downey Jr. The former Tony Stark actor sweetly showed love to Thorne and also joked about his hope that Ramos’ Parker Robbins (a.k.a. The Hood) wasn’t going to replace his Doctor Doom as the MCU’s main Big Bad. Check out the clip, which was shared on Instagram, below:
