The rumor (coming by way of We Got This Covered, so temper your expectations) states that Tony Stark’s voice will be the AI guide for Ironheart, Riri Williams, in a Disney+ show dedicated to the character. To be honest, this is one rumor that I truly care about because I’ve longed for the introduction of Riri Williams in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if she gets her own show, we can at least explore the character in a more in-depth way, rather than Marvel sidelining her for a greater introduction to the Young Avengers. (I’m assuming that Ironheart would take the place of Iron Lad.)
Riri Williams is a 15-year-old genius who attends MIT, creates her own suit a la Iron Man, and is truly a fascinating character. In the comics, she’s confronted by Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, who tell her the woes of being a hero. So, the idea that Tony Stark would be her AI system could give us a glimpse into a storyline with the young hero that we never got to see as part of the Infinity Saga.
What’s exciting about this rumor is that it seems as if Marvel is using the Disney+ programs to set up characters that may have a longer run in the movies. With the Hawkeye series, we’re getting a look into Kate Bishop’s origin, and now, with this rumor of Ironheart, maybe we are going to see the MCU set up their new heroes throughout short show runs so we can have even more characters in the team-up movies.
From the announced Ms. Marvel show to Hawkeye and now this rumor, we’re seeing a rise in the young superheroes that many fans have loved through the years. It’s a new direction for Marvel (and a more diverse one, thank the gods), but with these shows, it seems as if they’re still clinging to a bit of the nostalgia for the Infinity Saga run of the MCU.
If Tony Stark is, in fact, Riri’s AI system, it ties back into the Iron Legacy and can branch into Iron Woman (Natasha Stark, who marries Steve Rogers) and even Iron Lad down the line, if they continue to set up the multiverse within the MCU.
Again, it’s still just a rumor at this point, but I’m hopeful that, if not within an Ironheart series, then somewhere else, Tony Stark will make a reappearance. Let’s be honest, we never forget our first, and for many of us, there are plenty of other Tony Stark storylines we’d love to see play out in the Disney+ sphere.
This isn’t the first time a rumor about RDJ voicing an AI system has come about. Prior to the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home, I thought that maybe Tony would voice E.D.I.T.H. and help to guide Peter Parker into the new era of Spider-Man.
Obviously, I was wrong, but the idea of Robert Downey Jr. coming back as an AI system is probably popular because it’s the easiest way to keep him in the MCU without somehow resurrecting Tony Stark. Maybe Riri Williams could even bring in Morgan Stark, and she can hear her father’s voice again.
There are a lot of possibilities with this, and while RDJ coming back is fun, I want confirmation that we’re getting an Ironheart show so I can go scream for a while.

Cardi B’s Made In America look was as mesmerizing as her performance. We expected the Press rapper to don a guise as vivacious as her personality, and she didn’t disappoint. Saturday, Cardi hit the main stage in a multicolored jumpsuit, blue eyeliner, and a jewel encrusted ponytail that sparkled in the spotlight.
Blinged-out hair accessories are having a major moment right now.
During Fall 2019 Fashion Week, models sported silver hair chains down the runway at Christian Siriano, crystal mesh head pieces at Area, and rhinestone hijabs at Christian Cowan. Cardi’s take on the glitzy runway trend is the perfect way to incorporate a pop of color into your beauty looks this fall.
With a bevy of hair accessories popping up at our favorite retailers, from hair clips to turbans, there are plenty of ways to put your twist on the fall hair trend.
Last month at Afro-Punk Festival, Alicia Key’s debuted at shimmering spin.
The singer and actress rocked a bedazzled plait, laden with glittery gems.

Every weekend as I’m scrolling through my feed and Insta-stalking the celebrities and influencers that I fangirl for, I come across something interesting and inspiring in the beauty space. From jaw-dropping transformations to drool-inducing hair, there’s always something that I can’t stop staring at or watching, and it instantly garners a double tap.
This weekend a (seemingly) simple blowout by Raynecia Simmons, also known as Razor on social media made my heart melt. With a natural hair journey that began just a few years ago, she’s blessed social media with a hair diary displaying her beautiful curls and their versatility. Just days ago, she posted a photo sporting the most gorgeous full blowout with a texture that I’ve recently tried to mimic with my lace frontal and sew-in.
The influencer, content creator, personal trainer and teacher based in the British Virgin Islands generously spilled the tea with ESSENCE on how she achieved the electrifying ‘do with just a few products and some hand skills.
?!. I’m itching to see the length. Ohhh and I’m a couple inches away from tailbone length 
. Whewww.. I’m probably going to go back to my old regimen because I’m tiredddd. Ohh and I’m itching to get braids soon. This caption is all over the place 
.What are your favorite curl products you use to get your curls so defined?
My fave curl products for definition are the TréLuxe Curl Supreme 4-in-1 Hydrating Creme topped off with Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel. I also love Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic Curl Stimulator.
How did you achieve this blowout?
The blowout was super quick and easy. I started off with freshly [washed] and deep conditioned hair. I twisted it up while my hair was damp with Lemongrass Super Twisting Butter, my favorite moisturizer by Alikay Naturals. Then, I unraveled the twists one by one and blow dried each section with the Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Styler.
What do you love most about your hair?
I love the versatility of my natural hair. It’s amazing how I can style my hair to look different every time whether I want to rock twists, blowouts, a wash n’ go, braid outs, the list goes on. Each style gives a different look.
What celebrities or influencers give you hair inspiration?
In the beginning of my hair journey I relied heavily on Kim Love @kimmaytube, Domineque Banks @longhairdontcare2011 (RIP), Whitney White @naptural85, and Chime Edwards for hair inspiration. Now, I’m my own hair inspiration for the most part. Ever since I did my big chop almost three years ago, I’ve been looking to my old pictures and videos for inspiration. I knew if I did it before then I can definitely do it again. This time around the goal is to achieve healthier hair. I’ve [kept] this hair diary to let people know that attaining healthy natural hair is possible and it’s okay to rock your natural hair regardless of what anyone says!
