Following the apparent success of Spidey and his Amazing Friends (currently in its third season and with a fourth one on the way), Disney Jr. has ordered a new, similar series – this time focusing on Iron Man. Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends is set to premiere in summer of 2025 on both Disney Jr. and Disney+. Marvel has also released a promotional image for the new show, which is included in the article below.
The new series is once again aimed at a preschool audience and will star a young Tony Stark/Iron Man (voiced by Mason Blomberg) and his “awesome friends”, Riri Williams/Ironheart (voiced by Kapri Ladd) and Amadeus Cho/Iron Hulk (voiced by Aidyn Ahn) as they solve problems big and small, and save the city and world in the process. They are also joined by Vision (David Kaye), and their pup Gamma who will have her own suit of armor, naturally. Additional characters and voice actors will be announced in due time.
Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends is executive produced by Sean Coyle and Harrison Wilcox. James Eason-Garcia is co-executive producer and story editor, Alex Cichon is supervising producer; Ashley Rideout is producer, and Michael Dowding is supervising director.
Comments from Ayo Davis (president, Disney Branded Television) and Brad Winderbaum (head of Streaming, Television and Animation at Marvel Studios), follow.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends to preschoolers on Disney Jr. and Disney+, expanding their connection to the iconic Marvel universe,” said Ayo Davis. “Partnering with Brad and the Marvel Studios team on this series allows us to bring the incredible legacy of Iron Man to a whole new generation, sparking young imaginations with characters that embody courage, teamwork, and creativity.”
“Iron Man is the character that launched Marvel Studios and will always be especially beloved here as the hero that made the MCU possible,” said Brad Winderbaum. “That’s why we’re so excited to partner with the incredible team at Disney Branded Television and bring Iron Man to a new audience. Together we are building a series that introduces the most brilliant scientists and inventors in the Marvel Universe as they share in fun armored adventures.”
