It seems that Robert Downey’s massive $100 million contract to rejoin the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which may be an effort to revitalize the franchise, involves endorsing the character of Ironheart.

Robert Downey Jr. “Surprises” Ironheart Cast on Good Morning America

As a passionate cinema enthusiast, I couldn’t help but share the thrilling news that Domique Thorne and Anthony Ramos, stars of the highly anticipated series “Ironheart”, recently graced the screens of “Good Morning America”. In true surprise, they were left astonished when none other than Robert Downey Jr. made a special appearance with a video message straight from the set of “Avengers: Doomsday”.

She pointed out the stark contrast between her character’s economic state and that of Tony Stark, “While she’s rummaging through dumpsters, Tony Stark was a billionaire. The fact that she manages to achieve so much is truly impressive.

Gangsters turned activists

Shea Couleé’s appearance as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first drag queen confirms that the storyline centers around former gang members transitioning into activists, a detail that Ramos had mentioned earlier.

As a passionate cinephile, I join forces with a band of modern-day Robin Hoods who strive to rebalance wealth within our urban jungle. In this gritty portrayal of Chicago on screen, I lend my hand to every mission, working tirelessly to tip the scales in favor of the underprivileged and uplift the community.

I had the pleasure of seeing Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio promoting the upcoming series “Ironheart” on my behalf, and it’s no secret that Ryan Coogler has also joined the team as an executive producer for this exciting project.
