 Did you know that Iron Hart is a thing? This new TV series coming in June. Remember Riri Williams from Black Panther Wakanda Forever? No oh you barely remember Waganda Forever the film that killed off Tchala with the flu offscreen rather than just recasting him following Chadwick Boseman's death and then replacing Tchala with his girl boss sister? Yeah that Wakanda forever the one.

 Everywhere Disney has posted the trailer for this, they've disabled
comments. They know the reaction will not be favorable.

 Not true as I posted on the trailer and I'm still seeing comments to
my comment.

 My comment would be “I liked the comic and barely recognize this and have
no interest in it”

 My comment would be, "Oh, look! Hollywood killed off the straight white male
Iron Man so they could race and gender swap in a black lesbian Iron Them. How surprising."

 Part of the issue is that the actress has zero charisma.  She's just unlikable. Another issue is that the character Ironheart was literally created as a DEI addition in the comics.  Everyone is just sick of Disney's nonsense at this point.

It ain't just Disney by any means. "Political Correctness" idiocy infests everywhere these days, partly thanks to silly laws trying to enforce quota systems at either governmental level or within the business company itself.
I recently started watching the 2020 TV series "Cursed", which is based around the King Arthur legend. In this show Arthur is of course black and the main character of the show is female - supposedly the sword Excalibur picked her first to be queen (or some such nonsense) and she drew the sword from the stone ... after being the one who accidentally jammed it into the stone while fighting wolves. Unsurprisingly the show was cancelled after only one season.
It isn't just TV / movies that are stupidly doing this either. The "Cursed" series is based on a novel co-written by Frank Miller, who calls it "his feminist retelling of the King Arthur myth". He of course is a big name in the comic book industry, which also suffers from "Politically Correct" stupidity.
