Ironheart:

Riri Williams is being brought in. We know that America Chavez is going to be in the next Doctor Strange movie. We have Ms. Marvel now too and She-Hulk. Kate Bishop as Hawkeye and a new female Thor too. So Marvel is doing exactly what we said they would and took out all the male characters that people knew and are replacing them with the female counterparts.
This is concerning because a lot of the comics for these characters haven’t done great. Captain Marvel has been cancelled and restarted a bunch of times. But hey, Marvel likes losing money so let’s just double down on that.
They are also bringing in Armor Wars:
