Alden Ehrenreich is joining the ever-growing Star Wars/Marvel club.
Best known for filling the title role in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Ehrenreich is set to play a key character in Disney+’s upcoming Marvel series Ironheart, our sister site Deadline reports.
Ironheart stars Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams, a character who will be introduced in this November’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and invents the most advanced supersuit since Iron Man. No details about Ehrenreich’s character are available, however, and Marvel declined to comment on the casting.
