'Ironheart' Has Not Yet Been Renewed for Another Season
As of right now, Ironheart has not been renewed for a second season.
In an interview with The Direct, Thorne was asked about the potential future she sees for her character if the show were to come back. 'Actually, don't think I can even say that without spoiling everything,' she said. 'I would like to see her explore the full range of other options presented to her in season 1.'
She also spoke about Riri's character development over the first season, which could lead to an interesting storyline for season 2. 'Her mind is opened about what actually exists in the world, realizing that it's so much bigger than what she thought, even in her hometown, that things are so much bigger and there's a lot more going on than she ever cared to know or to understand. So now that she does know what's out there, what does she choose? I think that would be pretty cool.'
It would be expected that series regulars would return, including Thorne, Anthony Ramos, Lyric Ross, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, Jaren Merrell, and Zoe Terakes. Additional cast members, if the show were to be renewed, have yet to be announced.
This story will be updated.

How to not get eaten by a shark, explained by professional divers
Although sharks aren't the mindless man-eaters they are sometimes made out to be, experts know that staying safe involves skill, knowledge, and practice. Host Bertie Gregory filming a ragged tooth shark underwater. "Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory" premieres on National Geographic on July 5. Photograph By Dan Beecham, National Geographic Regardless of size, sharks can be unpredictable, so it's important that those who share the water with them have knowledge of, experience, and respect for the animal. So what does it take to swim with sharks? Ahead of National Geographic's Sharks Up Close With Bertie Gregory premiere on July 5, streaming on Disney+ and Hulu the next day, we talked to shark experts to find out how they prepare for these endeavors. Sharks up close While filming the show, National Geographic Explorer Bertie Gregory experienced his 'all-time favorite' shark dive in the 'spooky' Cathedral underwater cave in South Africa's Aliwal Shoal reef. Magazine for all ages starting at $25/year (Cape Cod may have the highest density of great white sharks in the world.) As many as 40 spotted ragged-tooth sharks 'were just swirling around in this cave,' he says. Growing to around 10 feet long, these seemingly menacing creatures have 'terrifying looking mouths with hundreds of needle-sharp teeth.' But Gregory wasn't afraid. 'Fear comes from a lack of understanding,' he says. He knows that needle-like teeth are designed for grabbing rather than slicing, which means 'prey needs to be a size they can swallow. I'm too big to fit down their throat, so they can't chew me.' Even great whites—probably the most feared fish on the planet—aren't mindless man eaters. 'We're not on their menu,' says Gregory. 'We're low in fat, and we taste funny.' Adult white sharks have evolved to eat seals and sea lions because of their energy-dense blubber, as opposed to us sinewy humans. Although shark bites are incredibly rare—there were 47 unprovoked bites in 2024, according to the International Shark Attack File—the best way to prevent any incident is to understand the conditions and the animal's behavior. Staying safe around sharks Shark scientist Melissa Cristina Márquez, who didn't appear on the show but has been diving with sharks for over a decade, always carefully reviews environmental factors before getting in the water with any shark species, but especially large ones. 'I never enter the water if there's a strong scent trail from bait or carcasses, unless it's a controlled research setting,' she says. For an experienced professional like Márquez, safety protocols are a non-negotiable. This includes working with a highly trained crew, following clear procedures, and using a safety pole when needed to make sure there is always something between you and an overly curious shark. Time of day is also important. Predatory sharks tend to hunt at dusk and dawn, so experienced professionals usually avoid these times, especially when the water is murky. 'If they're hunting in poor visibility water, they could mistake a human for a seal,' says Gregory. By the time a large predatory shark has taken a test bite and realized the human isn't food, the victim likely has catastrophic injuries, he says. 'It's about not giving them the opportunity to make a mistake.' Some factors, however, are impossible for researchers to know beforehand—like how the animal is feeling. 'Is it hungry? Is it full? Is it hunting? Is it happy? Is it healthy?' asks Lacey Williams, a shark behavioral ecologist who appeared on the show. 'We can't ask, unfortunately.' Reading a shark's body language Sharks give off signals if you know how to read their body language. Signs that a shark feels uncomfortable or agitated include jerky movements, raising its head, lowering its pectoral fins to point downwards, and arching its back. If Márquez notices an exaggerated swishing tail, the animal making tighter circles, bumping objects around it, or several close passes, 'that's a signal that it is time to exit the water calmly and quickly,' she says. When you're in the water with sharks, it's important to stay calm, move slowly, avoid sudden movements, and 'have a healthy respect for what that animal is capable of,' says Williams. Always 'have your head on a swivel,' she says. Don't turn your back to the shark and always maintain eye contact. As ambush predators, sharks are less likely to see you as potential prey if you keep your eyes on them at all times. Overturning stereotypes Although it's sensible to be cautious, a shark isn't going to try to chomp on any human it sees. Many species—including hammerheads, puffadder shysharks and thresher sharks—tend to be timid and avoid divers. (This is how we can share our coasts with sharks.) For predatory species like tiger, bull, and white sharks, going after a meal uses up valuable energy, so they need to know their efforts will be worth the reward—and that they won't get injured themselves. Márquez says she stays vertical in the water to appear as large and off-putting as possible, joking that she's not sure 'how much that actually works in my favor at a meager 5 foot 1.' Experts also consider how to prevent stressing out the sharks. 'These are wild animals, and every encounter should be on their terms,' Márquez says. That means giving them plenty of space and never chasing or cornering them. 'Swimming with sharks is a privilege, not a thrill-seeking stunt,' she adds. Most importantly, never, ever try to touch a shark. 'None of us really like being touched without our consent,' adds Williams, so the same goes for sharks and other animals. Some experts worry that the rise of social media footage of professionals interacting with sharks encourages people to take unnecessary risks—and sometimes get hurt. People 'think they can just go up and touch them or ride them, and that's very much not the case,' Williams says, even for docile species. When it comes to sharks, people are usually concerned about the wrong thing, says Gregory. With these majestic animals threatened by human activities—including overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution—he says, 'we've spent far too long worrying about sharks when we should be worried for them.' "Sharks Up Close with Bertie Gregory" is coming to National Geographic starting July 5 at 8/7c, and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu. Check local listings.

Disney Reportedly Planning Full Reboot of the INDIANA JONES Franchise — GeekTyrant
It looks like Indiana Jones might actually be headed for the reboot treatment. According to a recent report from DisInsider, Disney and Lucasfilm are considering a full relaunch of the iconic adventure franchise. While nothing has been officially announced, The report said: 'Lucasfilm is letting the franchise rest for a bit before they do a full reboot of the franchise. I would expect the studio to announce something next year at the D23 Expo because even though the last film tanked at the box office, Indiana Jones is still an iconic IP and Disney/Lucasfilm do not want to waste that.' It's not hard to see why Disney would want to reassess things. After acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012, Star Wars content exploded, but Indy stayed mostly dormant. Nearly a decade passed before Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny finally hit theaters in 2023, and after all that anticipation… the movie flopped. Despite fairly positive reviews, Dial of Destiny grossed just $384 million globally against a massive production budget reportedly in the $295–387 million range. That's not what you want from a cornerstone IP. James Mangold stepped in to direct Dial of Destiny after Steven Spielberg, who helmed the first four films, chose to bow out. The movie marked Harrison Ford's final outing as the fedora-wearing archaeologist. While the legacy actor was gracious in his exit, telling press 'Shit happens' in response to the film's box office performance, Mangold admitted that 'it hurt' to see the movie underperform. Still, Indy isn't going away. As the report notes, the character is simply too valuable to leave in a wooden crate marked Top Secret and stashed away in a warehouse. The recent release of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle , a critically acclaimed video game, proves there's still life in the brand., and if Disney wants to keep it going, a reboot makes the most sense. The big question is, how will they go about doing that? Producers of the franchise have already said that they won't recast Indiana Jones, but Disney could always just ignore that and recast. Or they introduce a whole new character set in the same universe. Personally, I would love to see a new adventure film or series that follows Ke Huy Quan's Short Round as an adult. The series could fill us in on what happened to him after the events of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , and how his relationship with Indiana shaped his life. The series could show us what became of Short Round, and how he followed in Indiana's footsteps and became an archaeologist. In 2008, The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones was published, and it says that Short Round actually did become an archaeologist like his mentor, and went even went on a journey to track down the Peacock's Eye, which was the diamond Indy lost at the beginning of The Temple of Doom . No official announcement has been made yet, but with D23 coming up next year, don't be surprised if Disney finally opens that sarcophagus and reveals what's next for the franchise.
