Even though many of us thought that Iron Man’s reign in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ended when Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) died in Avengers: Endgame, Disney continues to find ways to bring the legacy back.
Disney Jr. has officially greenlit “Marvel’s Iron Man and His Awesome Friends,” marking the first-ever Iron Man series aimed at preschool audiences. The show is set to premiere in summer 2025 on both Disney Jr. and Disney+, per Variety.
Currently in production, the series will follow a young Tony Stark alongside his “world-saving besties”: Riri Williams (Ironheart) and Amadeus Cho (Iron Hulk). Together, the trio of animated heroes will team up to protect their city and support one another.
The logline of the show is as follows:
“To help them in their Super Hero endeavors, they each have their own Iron Suits that allow them to fly and give them each enhanced super-strength. In addition, Iron Man has a Nano-Shield; Ironheart has a Heartbeat Bubble forcefield to protect people, and Iron Hulk has his strong Iron Boom clap and Iron Hulk Stomp.”
The animated series Marvel’s Iron Man and His Awesome Friends introduces a new team of young superheroes. The trio, consisting of Tony Stark, Riri Williams, and Amadeus Cho, will operate from their beachfront base, Iron Quarters (IQ), under the supervision of their superpowered android, Vision, and their furry companion, Gamma.
The series features the voices of Mason Blomberg, Kapri Ladd, and Aidyn Ahn as Tony Stark (Iron Man), Riri Williams (Ironheart), and Amadeus Cho (Iron Hulk), respectively. David Kaye voices Vision, and Fred Tatasciore portrays Gamma.
It’s important to note that the Tony Stark in this series is not the same as the young Tony Stark featured in Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends, voiced by John Stamos.
