Marvel's Ironheart show has cast Good Girls and Mayans MC star Manny Montana as a series regular opposite Dominique Thorne, who plays the titular character of Ironheart, aka Riri Williams, on the Disney+ show (via Deadline).
The story follows Riri Williams, a genius inventor and creator of the most advanced suit of armour since Iron Man. Marvel Comics first introduced the character of Riri Williams in 2016 as a 15-year-old MIT student who reverse-engineers Tony Stark's Iron Man suit.
Montana's role in the series, which is currently in production, has not yet been disclosed.
