As for Linaka Hodge, it is important to do so Riri Williams Not my apology.
A comparison of the young engineering miracle with the Executive Technology billionaire and the founding founding member of Avengers, Tony Stark, the main writer and executive producer of “Ironheart” from Marvel, says that she wants to share her presenting in some of these loud confidence in talking about her mind, but she still feels satisfied.
“I wanted to be not tortured in her mind,” Hodge says during the takbeer call. “I wanted to be a non -apologize about the people who were attached to them – that they would look like as if they were the America in which we live.
“It was really important for me to make a character that you did not feel like a skirt [but someone with] “The real dimension, true depth, real challenges and concerns,” she added.
Now on Disney+, “Ironheart” Riri (which was filmed by Dominic Thorne), a 19 -year -old Massachusetts Institute student, was presented in the 2022 movie “Black Tiger: Wakanda forever“When she finds herself in her hometown in Chicago.
After being transferred to Wakanda to help save today, Riri is more paid than ever to complete its own version of a high -tech iron suit to support it legacy. But unlike Tony or Wakandans, Riri does not have unlimited resources to do this, which leads them to make some questionable decisions.

It is incredibly esteemed from Tony Stark [being] “How do you enable your idea without changing your morals, which is a really difficult way, and it is the place where we put a rare in the life of the series, without changing ethics, is a really difficult path, as we put a rare for the life of the chain” without changing morals, which is a really difficult way, where we put a rare for the life of the chain. “
Compared to most of her cinematic costume counterparts in Marvel, Riri is a somewhat new character. It was created by Brian Michael Bendes and Mike Diodateo, which was made by 15 years old A comic book for the first time In the 2016 issue of “Iron Man is invincible.” Besides Tony Stark, Riri crossed the paths of characters like Peppper Potts (Rescue), Kamala Khan (Mrs. Marvel) and Miles Morales (Spider-Man).
Hodge, “Marvel Head”, described, explains that Rirry initially struck her radar because of her friendship with her poet and researcher Yves Iwing, who was the writer in the first.Iron heart“Rolly Books Series.
“My first meeting with Riri was watching Eve literally leaving poetry [event] “I have to go to my house … I am working on some wonderful things,” says Hodge. ” [so] I bowed a lot. “

Since it became more familiar with the personality, what hit Hodge, as a person on the autism spectrum, is how Riri can be read as a nervous organization. One of the most important things about Riri [is] How to feel like I, my mother and the other women who tend to be brains. ”
Ironheart fans from comedy will realize that Riri’s description elements and background background depend on what was established in books, but Hodge notes that they were not filled with those stories that a teenager could face in the show, regardless of the schedule or dimension. However, the Hodge learning curve has included the discovery of the different levels and types of magic found in the broader marvel world, as well as possible stories that come out of their path because they fall under the jurisdiction of another personality.
Although it is still a teenage genius, Riri in the series is a little older than comedy. Hodge also describes this Riri as more than Anrrow anti -Antro because it has the ability to land on both sides of the hero/villain line based on the options you make.
Hodge sings, along with the “IonHeart” managers, Sam Billy and Angela Barnes, praise Thorne, for photographing her and as a collaborator. Hodge calls the educated actor Cornell “genius” and says that she asked to withdraw the Riri dialogue to the level of Thorne’s males, instead of the opposite. Billy, who directed the first three episodes of the series, says Thorne “brought such thrones to the character.” Barnes, who removed the episodes from 4 to 6, praises her ability to attend her representative colleagues.
“It was merely to create the environment to allow her to do something for her and a sense of safety in doing this,” says Billy.
“IonHeart” coincides with the first time that MCU has shed light on Chicago, and for the creative show team, it was important to make the city correct. Hodge, who grew up in Auckland, admits that although she may not have direct knowledge as an external, it can be related to how Riri considers her home and wanted to deal with the city with respect.
“Chicago is my favorite member,” says Hodge. “I think Rirry feels about Chicago what I feel about Auckland. He is his hometown, but he is [also] A legacy we carry. We mean something if we do something correct in our lives. “
This type of pride was shared by many by many in the “IonHeart” team and the crew. Hodge says that the goal is to take advantage of many artists and musicians in Chicago – from local drummists to the team members such as Xia Collie – to capture the true texture of the city. Among those who have strong personal relationships with the city, Billy, who is from Chicago, Hodge is attributed to the director by helping to revive their vision to life.

“I feel that Chicago has this beautiful slide on her shoulder,” says Billy. “We do not trust many people. We are very protecting the city and its inhabitants … … there was little rebellion that I wanted to capture … and different types of people fill that city, which I do not feel that we see a lot on the screen.”
As the director of the first half of the series, Billy’s goal was to create the back story and establish the vitality of every person who was presented in the early episodes to prepare for the upcoming adventure.
“It was really important to make these characters feel like people and feel that they are people who want to be next to and feel that they are people who want to root them,” says Billy.
Among these characters in the orbit of Riri is the one that shares her history, like her mother, Ronnie (Anji White), and her friend presented as Zavier (Matthew Ilam) and even the youngest businessman in the neighborhood, Landon (Harper Anthony). But Rirry soon finds herself accompanied by a new crew led by Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), who may compare some Property Hood or the Freedom Fighter, at least in the beginning.
Considering the spoilers, Barnes raises only that the second half of the series includes Riri to face some of the consequences of the options I have taken in the previous episodes.
“[Riri] “This decision was taken to hang out with people who are not necessarily the most delicious people. They also have their own reasons for doing what they are doing, but … it is a little deepening than I imagined,” says Barnes.
Barnes, one of the self -declared MCU fans, emphasizes that the show was intended in everything from the specified pieces to the decoration, including how to inspire the design of the headphones of the RIRI suit from the graphs of the web du bois. But she also remembers the pleasure they enjoyed during production, such as flipping a truck and building a white castle in a parking lot.

For Hodge, “Ionheart” coincides with one of its prominent projects so far. The poet and theatrical writer turned into a script writing after realizing that she wanted to expand beyond work in the first person and register at the Graduate School of Southern California University in 2010.Black tiger” Ryan KoglerIt is an executive product on “Ironheart” and “and” andCreed II’s” Stephen Kabli Junior (“I would just follow Ryan about the campus [saying]She says, “Her rented me.”
Among the things that Hodge was excited while working in this series, he was exploring more topics about access, independence and safety through specific situations thinking about how a little girl from the southern side of Chicago realizes differently from Tony Stark to have a weapons -level technical suit because of what it seems. She was also keen to fill the show with people who reflect the diversity of the real world.
Hodge, who is pleased that MCU has moved to “you feel like a scientist inhabited by people who have read and going to the cinema.”
“I am enthusiastic for a small, twisted black girl watching the show that he sees herself [and] She says: “For the strange child who finds it for his activities in the month of pride and wants to watch it. [and] With great happiness, and I feel that this is exactly what Rirry feels when you fly over the Chicago horizon. “
