Solo star Aldren Ehrenreich has landed a "key role" in Marvel's upcoming Ironheart series at Disney+, though it's currently unknown which character he will be playing.
According to Deadline, Ehrenreich has become the latest member of the Ironheart ensemble and will star alongside previously announced cast members Dominique Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, and Manny Montana. Thorne is headlining the series as Riri Williams, "a genius inventor and creator of the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man."
The character made waves in the Marvel universe in 2016 in the pages of The Invincible Iron Man, and will now make her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever this November. Thorne is said to have shot her scenes for the upcoming sequel before reuniting with director Ryan Coogler on the Ironheart series, for which he serves as an executive producer.
As for Ehrenreich, he will next be seen in the Elizabeth Banks-directed thriller Cocaine Bear. He also recently wrapped production on Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer for Universal Pictures. Ehrenreich's past credits include Solo: A Star Wars Story, in which he played a young Han Solo, as well as the Coen brothers comedy Hail, Caesar! and Peacock's Brave New World.
While Marvel hasn't yet confirmed a release window for Ironheart, the studio has plenty of Disney+ projects on the horizon. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law is coming up in August as the next live-action Disney+ series in the MCU following Ms. Marvel. There are also a few specials along the way in addition to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever landing in theaters in November.
