It is the 14th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) produced by Marvel Studios, via its Marvel Television label, alongside Proximity Media. The series shares continuity with the films of the franchise. It sees MIT student Riri Williams return home to Chicago, following the events of the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) where she discovers secrets that pit technology against magic.

Sam Bailey and Angela Barnes joined to direct in April 2022. Filming began at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, by early June, before moving to Chicago in late October, and concluded by early November. Ironheart premiered on Disney+ with its first three episodes on June 24, 2025, followed by its other three episodes on July 1. It is the conclusion of Phase Five of the MCU. The series received generally positive reviews from critics, but became subject to a review bombing campaign ahead of its release.

Riri Williams is expelled from MIT for selling her work to other students to plagiarize. She takes her new suit of armor home to Chicago, still grieving the deaths of her best friend Natalie Washington and stepfather Gary from a drive-by shooting. Riri reconnects with Natalie's brother Xavier, and is recruited by John into "The Hood," a gang of thieves led by his cousin Parker Robbins, who possesses a mysterious cloak. Riri narrowly escapes a gas-filled elevator as her first test. Needing money to improve her suit, she agrees to join them for three heists. At home, Riri lashes out at her mother Ronnie over the loss of their loved ones, and maps out her own brain to create a built-in AI for her suit, but her unprocessed grief results in a digital recreation of Natalie.

Struggling to come to terms with the AI N.A.T.A.L.I.E., Riri meets Parker's gang — hacker Slug, fighters Jeri and Roz Blood, pyrotechnician Clown, and knife-wielding John. They target TNNL, a company converting Chicago's freight tunnels into a private highway at the expense of local communities. Riri blackmails Joe McGillicuddy, a black market arms collector in Evanston, for parts to complete her suit, while N.A.T.A.L.I.E. is discovered by Ronnie. The heist is nearly derailed when N.A.T.A.L.I.E. reconnects to Riri's suit, but they successfully sabotage TNNL, allowing Parker to extort the CEO into placing the gang on the company's payroll. N.A.T.A.L.I.E. freezes when held at gunpoint by a guard and Parker intervenes, bending the path of his own bullet. N.A.T.A.L.I.E. warns Riri to be wary of Parker's powers, which leaves sinister blackened veins spreading across his body.

John reprimands Riri and Clown for touching Parker's cloak, the source of his powers, and the gang targets Heirlum, an agritech company whose innovations are harming small farmers. Stuart "Rampage" Clarke, who Riri replaced in Parker's gang, is murdered, leading her to seek help from Joe, who is revealed to be Zeke Stane, son of Obadiah Stane. Zeke warns Riri against repeating Obadiah's mistakes and gives her a sample of biomesh skin to fool Heirlum's security system. During the heist, as Parker attempts to extort CEO Hunter Mason, Riri cuts off a piece of the cloak to analyze but triggers the security system, trapping the gang as the facility fills with carbon dioxide. Parker kills Mason and escapes with the others, while Riri is caught and attacked by John, who admits to killing Stuart on Parker's orders. Losing Zeke's biomesh, Riri is rescued by N.A.T.A.L.I.E., leaving John to suffocate. A distraught Parker nearly renounces the cloak, but receives a vision implicating Riri for John's death.

In a flashback, Parker and John rob a mansion. When Parker gets caught by a security guard, John shoots the security guard as they flee in different directions. Lying to the gang, Riri fears retribution from Parker, while the biomesh is traced to Zeke, who is arrested and turns against her. Riri's paranoia leads Ronnie to seek help from her friend Madeline Stanton, a former Kamar-Taj trainee, and Madeline's daughter Zelma. Examining the fragment of the cloak, the Stantons determine it is a dangerous artifact from a dark dimension that may be influencing Parker, and Ronnie shares her frustrations about Riri never opening up to her. Unable to find a way to destroy the cloak, Riri has a panic attack and N.A.T.A.L.I.E. summons Xavier, who is horrified by N.A.T.A.L.I.E. emulating his late sister and demands Riri delete the AI. Hurt, N.A.T.A.L.I.E. departs with the suit while the gang breaks Zeke out of jail and assists him in implanting himself with bionic enhancements. Revealing that Riri is responsible for John's death, Parker sends the gang to kill her.

Slug captures N.A.T.A.L.I.E. and the suit while Riri meets with Zelma, who believes the cloak came from Dormammu, at White Castle. Ambushed by the Blood Siblings and Clown, Riri fights them off and tells Clown that John killed Stuart.

Parker takes control of Zeke's upgraded body to break into the home of Parker's wealthy father Arthur Robbins, who has a controlling interest in the companies he targeted, and forces him to sign over everything at gunpoint. Reconciling with Ronnie, N.A.T.A.L.I.E., and Xavier, Riri builds a new suit in Gary's garage using the car they were restoring with help from Zelma and Landon.

In a flashback following the attempted robbery of his father's house, Parker is approached by Mephisto when cornered on both sides of the tunnel by the security guards. He offers to help him achieve his desire for power, respect, and wealth. Accepting the deal, Parker is given Mephisto's hooded cloak. In the present, Parker accuses Mephisto of not fulfilling their bargain and Mephisto offers more power if Parker can retain the cloak. Unable to recreate N.A.T.A.L.I.E., Riri ignores her family and friends' advice and goes to Parker's hideout, fighting a reluctant Zeke before freeing him from Parker's control. Fully corrupted by the hood, Parker battles Riri and appears to gain the upper hand, but Riri dupes him with a hologram and takes off the cloak leaving him desperate and powerless. Downstairs, Mephisto reveals his identity to Riri while scoffing and laughing that Riri thought he was Dormammu. He offers her own deal which she accepts on the condition her loved ones are left alone. Later at the garage, Natalie appears restored to life and Riri hugs her as the veins of Mephisto spread across Riri's arm. In a mid-credits scene, Parker visits the Stantons' store and asks Zelma for help in obtaining some big magic.
