Riri Williams has a great role in Wakanda Forever, making a new friend in Shuri and creating a whole new suit that makes her up to the task of fighting Namor. At the end of the film though, Shuri doesn’t let Riri take the suit back to America, putting the MIT student back at square one.

So what’s next? We’ll find out in the upcoming Disney+ show Ironheart, which is about Riri, and producer Nate Moore told us io9 that “Her adventure in this movie, and coming out on the other end of it with her experiences, really motivates her to become more of a hero because of what she’s seen. But she’s going to find out in the show, not to spoil anything, that that’s easier to do in Wakanda with Wakanda behind you then it is as a now 20, 21-year-old student who goes back to MIT.”
