‘Ironheart’ star reveals what she learned from a ‘Black Panther’ badass

No one can deny the sheer talent that lies within the amazing cast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For a young actress like 25 years old Dominic Dornwho just made their MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever there couldn’t be a better school than the genius Riri Williams, aka Ironheart.

The actress spoke up screen rant about her experience on the set of the Black Panther The sequel and what she’s taught about her craft by working with the veteran Marvel cast.

There was one castmate who made quite an impression on Thorne in the way she behaved and stood up for her character both on and off screen. Danai Gurira, who plays Dora Milaje General Okoye, “has so much clarity about it [her]just like the Queen of Wakanda and the royal family in defining her character,” Thorne said.

That was the cast’s most valuable lesson Wakanda foreverand most notably Gurira, tutoring the Marvel debutante.

“I would say that the cast of the show did a really great job just really walking in their excellence and understanding that their primary responsibility was their character.”

In the original quote, certainly the result of a passing oversight by Thorne or Screen Rant Wakanda forever The actress actually used the word “show” instead of “movie,” which could lead to speculation as to whether she just spilled some important beans about the upcoming Disney Plus show heart of steel.

While we don’t think that’s the case, given Marvel’s strict spoiler policy, Danai Gurira would not only be incredibly cool, but also relatively possible to appear on Thorne’s standalone show. Aside from Letitia Wright’s Shuri, Okoye was the character who shared the most screen time with Riri in the 2022 film, and Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Director and co-writer Ryan Coogler is also an executive producer heart of steel. One can dream.

Whether it’s on her show or her film, the truth is Thorne has nothing but words of admiration for her cast. The actress explained that learning “isn’t [be] “Afraid to ask questions or question certain things that don’t suit them because they know the characters best” was “a beautiful lesson” from her Wakanda forever Family.
