'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Dominique Thorne Opens Up About The MCU's Newest 'Super Genius'

BlackPantherWakandaForever star Dominique Thorne opens up about the MCU's newest 'super genius.'

In writer-director Ryan Coogler’s sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the MCU introduces a number of new faces - a nation of new faces, in fact - to the big screen, and also a character who’s bound to be a force in the franchise moving forward, Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams, a.k.a. Ironheart. The sequel sees Princess Shuri and the people of Wakanda reeling in the aftermath of King T’Challa’s passing.

COLLIDER: A little bit of a big question to start. I've grown obsessed with this idea someone shared with me recently about the importance of having your own personal secret about a role before taking on a new character. So even with a great screenplay and great source material, what’s something specific to you and your take on Riri that was really important for you to bring to screen here?

I wanted to look ahead a little bit to the Ironheart series given what she goes through, and what you go through in this movie. For you as an actor, is there anything that you saw a Wakanda Forever co-star do on the set of this film that made you stop and say, ‘When I'm number one on the call sheet, I want to be able to do that for my set?’

So now for Riri specifically as a character, because Wakanda Forever really well highlights how everyone is influenced by those around them, and how everybody winds up living on through each other.
