Sonia Denis is joining the cast of Disney+’s “Ironheart,” according to a report from Variety. What is not known is who Denis could be playing. Other actors are similarly playing mystery parts, including Alden Ehrenreich.
Denis doesn’t just have a background in acting. She previously was a writer on shows like “Guilty Party” and “A Black Lady Sketch Show,” the latter of which earned her an Emmy nomination, per IMDb. On the acting side, she’s appeared in films like “Set It Up” and done voice work in the series “BoJack Horseman” and “Birdgirl.”
Reports on Denis’ casting do not mention her working double duty as a performer and writer on “Ironheart,” but it may not be out of the question. Chinaka Hodge was previously announced as the head writer for the production, and the six-episode season will be split up directing-wise by Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes, via Gizmodo. Coogler teased that Ironheart could serve as a worthy replacement for Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.).
“I remember when Riri was invented in publishing, and there was a level of excitement around her coming up. It was similar to when Miles Morales was invented. Having lived with these archetypical characters for so long, it’s always exciting seeing somebody come up and take on the moniker with a different background,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
