And the iron-clad character has also been making a splash on the commercial front, as Ironheart is featured in a new spot for Target.

The six-episode Ironheart, created by Chinaka Hodge, stars Dominique Thorne as Marvel character Riri Williams, a genius inventor and creator of the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man.
