In the upcoming Marvel series Ironheart, executive producer Sev Ohanian hinted that Riri Williams (played by Dominique Thorne) will take on an antihero journey, drawing unsettling comparisons to iconic characters like Walter White and Tony Soprano. Ohanian described Riri as a 'brilliant yet flawed' individual, suggesting her transformation into a darker persona might introduce previously unexplored themes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This shift raises intriguing questions about character development and the capacity for depth within superhero narratives, especially in light of the complexities faced by these notorious television figures.
"She kind of breaks bad in the show, and we go to some uncomfortable places for audiences that I think will be really fun to explore, almost in the vein of Walter White from Breaking Bad or Tony Soprano."
"For those unaware, Walter White broke bad when the underpaid and undervalued high school chemistry teacher was diagnosed with terminal cancer and became determined to not die without building an empire that would help his family and outlast him."
