Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and executive producer of its spin-off Ironheart, has said he has no idea when the characters from the series will return.
Ironheart concluded its short two-week run on Disney+ just a few days ago, leaving several major cliffhangers that leave the characters’ next moves unclear. But when Variety asked where Ironheart’s heroine Riri Williams might show up next—perhaps in the upcoming Black Panther 3, which Coogler is currently writing—he admitted he had no information.
"I don't know jack s**t. I just pulled an all-nighter writing X-Files," Coogler said, referring to another upcoming project of his currently in development: an X-Files TV reboot.
"I'm here for whatever Chinaka \[Hodge, Ironheart head writer\] has planned next; whatever Kevin \[Feige\] has lined up for us—you know what I mean," Coogler added. "I think the audience will connect with that ending, and I can't wait to see these characters again."Warning! Spoilers for Ironheart follow:
