Nothing worth mentioning... except I stumbled upon some dubbed period
piece. I think it co-starred Isabelle Adjani. I may or may not have
involved werewolves(?). I think it may have been this?:

Ironheart (Disney+) - The first three episodes dropped. As far as I can
tell this is the origin story for how Ironheart becomes a supervillain.

In the first three episodes they introduce Riri Williams (Dominque
Thorne) who when the show opens she is a student at MIT, except she's
immediately expelled from school for selling projects to other students
that they can pass off as their own. As security is escorting her off
campus, she steals the Ironheart suit, which I'm guessing was made with
MIT resources making it MIT property.
As she flew off, her friend was yelling something about her making it on
her own time. Didn’t she have it in Wakanda which means it predates MIT?
She then promptly turns to a life
of crime by joining a criminal gang run by "The Hood" (Anthony Ramos)
who has a magic cloak.
Just to raise the funds to make more Iron Man suits and then she completely rebuilds hers with no additional funds overnight.
Within the first three episodes she willing joins a criminal gang.
Helps them commit crimes. Then in the last episode the Hood's brother
catches her with a piece of the Hood's cloak that she secretly stole.
The brother then tries to kill her, but thanks to her Ironheart suit,
she gets away and leaves the brother to die. Then to twist the knife a
bit, The Hood asks Riri to locate his missing brother, which she agrees
to do and reports back she found his lifeless corpse. The episode ends
with The Hood's cloak doing some dark magic stuff, and I couldn't tell
if *maybe* the cloak was revealing to him that Riri was involved in his
brother's death.
Overall, the show is off to an OK start. I skipped over some details
like the Ironheart suit's AI being Riri's dead best friend and another
In the comic, her AI was Tony Stark.
character played by Alden Ehrenreich who Riri blackmails into her.
Which is another reason to think Riri is a budding super villain. But
it's only three episodes in. Perhaps she will turn into a hero by the end. >>
I stopped reading the comic a long time ago, but except for a couple of character names this was completely unrecognizable.
I gave up about halfway into the second episode.
If she actually turns into a super villain, I don’t understand why Jim Rhodes won’t show up and blast her into a smear on the sidewalk.
They showed how the suit has extenders for her arms and presumably her legs so that she looks like a large man in it and not a little girl, but having done that they spent the rest of the time making her look like a little
girl in a suit.

As I recall, she had a prototype suit, but when she went to Wakanda she
used their tech to make it better. I think the Wakandans took their
tech back when she left.

If you had stayed you'd seen that Alden Ehrenreich's character has a
very recognizable name. I just didn't want to spoil who he is since
it's not revealed at first.
If she actually turns into a super villain, I don’t understand why Jim
Rhodes won’t show up and blast her into a smear on the sidewalk.
Whatever happened to Armor Wars anyway? ...Checking...Wikipedia doesn't have any news. It appears to be in development hell.
