Courtesy of Disney+ MORE FOR YOU As of early July, Ironheart has not yet been renewed for a second season
However, series creator Chinaka Hodge remains optimistic that the superhero show will continue on Disney+ for multiple seasons. "I’ll keep it with you a buck, I’m hoping for all work in Hollywood right now," Hodge said in a recent interview with IGN. “Yes, a second season, a third season, a fourth season. ” When asked where Riri Williams could be headed next — maybe to Black Panther 3 in Wakanda — director Ryan Coogler admitted that he doesn’t know anything yet. “I don’t know jack sh*t," he told Variety
Coogler continued, “I’m here for whatever Chinaka’s got coming at us next; whatever Kevin’s got coming at us next, you know what I’m saying
I think the audience is going to take to that ending and I can’t wait to see those characters again. ” Warning: Spoilers ahead for Ironheart Season 1
What Does The Ironheart Season 1 Ending Mean For Season 2. "Ironheart" Season 1 on Disney+
Courtesy of Disney+ In the Ironheart Season 1 finale, Williams goes head-to-head with Parker Robbins (a
The Hood), pitting her brilliant armor against his magical cloak, powered by Dormammu, the interdimensional entity introduced in Doctor Strange
She defeats Ezekiel Stane and eventually Parker, taking his hood and leaving him powerless
The explosive final episode also features the long-anticipated arrival of Marvel villain Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen), who is revealed to be the mysterious figure that originally gave Parker the hood
Even after defeating Parker, Williams finds herself in a difficult position
She lacks the funds to build more — and her holographic A
Best friend, N. , disappears again after using magic to supercharge Riri’s armor. (The real Natalie died earlier in the season in a drive-by shooting that also claimed the life of Williams’ stepdad, Gary. ) Desperate, Williams strikes a deal with Mephisto to bring N
Instead, he resurrects the real Natalie, which could have serious consequences down the line
When Williams hugs her friend, dark scars begin to form on Riri’s arm (the same kind Parker had after wearing Mephisto’s cloak)
Could she become futher entangled with Mephisto and go down a darker path in the future
Then, in the mid-credits scene, Parker visits the candy/magic shop Stanton’s in of help from Zelma Stanton. “I know you don’t know me, at least not yet
But if you’re up for it, how a little abracadabra. ” Parker says, leaving his story also open- for a potential Season 2

Courtesy of Disney+ In an interview with The Direct, Thorne teased what she’d to see for her character if Ironheart is renewed for another season. “Actually don’t think I can even say that without spoiling everything
I would to see her explore the full range of other options presented to her in season 1. ,” she explained. “I think this time around, once again, her mind is opened what actually exists in the world, realising that it's so much bigger than what she thought even in her town, that things are so much bigger and there's a lot more going on than she ever cared to know or to understand. ” She continued, "So now that she does know what's out there, what does she choose
And, when she makes a choice, we know that she'll commit
And so what does that look for her to lean into the total left-field option of what we would expect from her
I think that would be pretty cool. " As for whether Riri will appear in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars, she didn’t give a direct answer. “Oh, you know, what can I say
The odds might be in our favor
We’ll see," she told the site
