Marvel Announces New Iron Man Is A 15 Year Old Black Girl
The headline might read as a parody, but this entirely serious exclusive announcement is all about Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis’ choice to have Tony Stark giving up the suit and a new character named Riri Williams stepping in.
Flipping the gender of movie heroes is a hot trend right now, with the refreshed girl Ghostbusters, a female President in the new Independence Day movie sequel, and even a raging debate about whether to cast a woman as the new James Bond, presumably with a name change.
