With the increasing popularity of superhero shows like Spidey and His Amazing Friends, young viewers are being introduced to beloved heroes in exciting new ways. A fresh addition to this lineup is the upcoming series Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends, which will showcase a youthful version of Tony Stark, teaming up with his friends Riri Williams and Amadeus Cho. Together, they harness advanced technology to create innovative solutions that ensure the safety of their community. Collider is thrilled to unveil an exclusive sneak peek of the series through a short video titled “Meet the IQ,” which also introduces the “Iron Quarters,” their creative headquarters.
This engaging short allows viewers to get acquainted with the dynamic trio: Iron Man, Ironheart, and Iron Hulk, along with a delightful surprise featuring Iron Pup. They are eager to showcase their incredible suits and “invite audiences into their Iron Quarters,” an imaginative beachfront base where they invent new technology, hone their skills, or simply enjoy their childhood. Similar to Spidey and His Amazing Friends, this series brings together three iconic Marvel characters, demonstrating to young fans the essence of heroism and teamwork. Notably, the voice cast includes Mason Blomberg as Tony Stark (Iron Man), Kapri Ladd as Riri Williams (Ironheart), Aidyn Ahn as Amadeus Cho (Iron Hulk), along with notable talents including Tony Hale, Vanessa Bayer, and Talon Warburton.
The “Meet the IQ” video short gives viewers an exciting glimpse into how Riri, Tony, and Amadeus collaborate at their innovative hub, IQ. Furthermore, additional shorts will introduce the audience to the main characters and their captivating storylines. Among the heroes featured are the newly announced Captain America (Sam Wilson), Black Panther (T’Challa), and Iron Spider (Aña Corazon), who join the Iron Friends in their thrilling adventures against formidable foes and during fun escapades. All of these delightful shorts are set to launch on Monday, July 14, across Disney Jr., Disney Jr. YouTube, and Marvel HQ YouTube, with all ten shorts available on Tuesday, July 15, on Disney+.
Discover the Incredible Gadgets of the Iron Team!
True to the legacy of Tony Stark, the Iron team is equipped with an array of fascinating gadgets that are sure to captivate fans! We are excited to present exclusive images showcasing the remarkable abilities of Tony, Amadeus, and Riri. One extraordinary capability of this crew is their ability to soar through the skies. Thanks to the advanced technology in their Iron Suit Boosters, the Iron Friends can elevate and fly through the skies with ease! These boosters not only facilitate flight but also provide an additional surge of power when they enthusiastically proclaim, ‘Boosters to the max!’ Moreover, their suits are equipped with Repulsors that unleash powerful beams of energy, known as Repulsors, from the glowing core located in their gauntlets. The call of “Repulsors Ready!” signifies that they are prepared to unleash their formidable energy blasts!
In addition to their Repulsors, the suits also feature Arc Reactor Blasts, which deliver even more potent energy bursts from the Arc Reactor embedded in each of the Iron Friend’s chest plates. Just like Tony Stark in the original <em>Iron Man</em> and Riri Williams in Ironheart, all the suits come with a sophisticated Heads-Up Display, empowering the team to tackle villains with strategy and precision.
As if that weren’t impressive enough, each member of the Iron team, including Tony, Riri, Amadeus, and Iron Pup, possesses unique special abilities! Tony can summon a Nano-Shield crafted from the same nano materials as his suit, providing protection when needed. Ironheart utilizes a “Heartbeat Bubble,” a forcefield that allows her to shield others from harm. Iron Hulk boasts the “Iron Boom,” which generates a resonant soundwave by clapping his hands together, effectively knocking adversaries off their feet. Lastly, Iron Pup showcases the “Iron Bark,” unleashing a powerful bark that sends enemies flying away!
The show is characterized as an exciting adventure series that chronicles the journeys (and occasional misadventures) of brilliant best friends and super geniuses — Tony Stark, Riri Williams, and Amadeus Cho. Together, they tackle both monumental and minor challenges while safeguarding their city from threats. To assist them in their heroic endeavors, each of the Iron Friends is equipped with their own Iron Suits, which not only grant them the ability to fly but also enhance their super-strength capabilities. The series is executed under the guidance of executive producers Sean Coyle and Harrison Wilcox, with James Eason-Garcia serving as co-executive producer and story editor. The production team also includes Alex Cichon as supervising producer, Ashley Rideout as producer, and Michael Dowding as supervising director. The series’ captivating musical score is composed by Matthew Margeson. This animated series is a collaboration between Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios, alongside Atomic Cartoons.
