“I absolutely loved it. Chicago is fantastic. The filming experience there was delightful. The food is outstanding, and the nightlife is vibrant. Chicago’s theater scene is superb. Those strolls by the beach in Streeterville, and Lake Michigan are wonderful,” shared Ramos, who plays “Parker Robbins.” “I must admit, the pizza is great. I won’t go as far as saying it’s better than New York’s, but it’s phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed it!”

Thorne, who plays “Riri Williams,” described the dynamic between their characters.

“When we encounter her in a very vulnerable state, he steps in to challenge her on issues she’s already somewhat insecure about,” Thorne explained.

Ramos added, “I think Parker meets somebody he feels is his equal, and I don’t know if he has felt that energy from somebody. That’s sort of his mentality: Let me get to know this girl and see what she’s about. Maybe she can learn something from me. He finds something in her, where he’s like, ‘I can probably learn a lot from her, and that intimidates me.'”

Ramos also spoke about what it is like being part of the Marvel Universe.

“It’s awesome. It’s incredible. Legends have been a part of this. We’re grateful to be a part of this and be a part of this show,” Ramos said.

Thorne also talked about the cultural diversity and representation in the series.

“It’s really easy to do when you’re focusing on a city as vibrant as Chicago. Chicago has diversity on lock. the most architecturally diverse city in America. I’ll have you know! So many of the communities we see in the show, it’s the truth of the city. It’s really cool that we get to just zoom in and be on it,” Thorne said.

Sanders will have more in upcoming stories about how the city of Chicago has a starring role in “Ironheart.”

The first three episodes stream on Disney Plus starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
