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.”
Marvel’s Iron Man and his Awesome Friends follows the adventures (and misadventures) of best friends and super geniuses, Tony Stark, Riri Williams (Ironheart) and Amadeus Cho (Iron Hulk) as they work together to solve problems both big and small and protect their city. They work out of their beachfront base, Iron Quarters (IQ), under the supervision of their superpowered android, Vision, and their furry pup, Gamma, who has her very own Iron Pup suit and accompanies the Iron Friends on many of their adventures.
The series stars Mason Blomberg (Shameless) as Tony Stark, Kapri Ladd (Danger Force) as Riri Williams, and Aidyn Ahn (Kids Say the Darndest Things) Amadeus Cho. David Kaye (Transformers) voices the role of Vision, and Fred Tatasciore (Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur) voices Gamma. Additional characters and casting will be announced at a later date.
The series is executive produced by Sean Coyle (Puppy Dog Pals) and Harrison Wilcox (Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends). James Eason-Garcia (Pupstruction) serves as co-executive producer and story editor; Alex Cichon (Lego Marvel: Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom) is supervising producer; Ashley Rideout (Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends) is producer; and Michael Dowding (Hello Ninja) is supervising director. The series is produced by Disney Jr. and Marvel Studios in association with Atomic Cartoons.
