Thorne has worked incredibly hard to get to where she is today. In her short acting résumé, she has credits in two Oscar-winning films: "If Beale Street Could Talk" and "Judas and the Black Messiah." Unlike the path to her other roles, the role of Ironheart in the upcoming Disney+ miniseries, "Ironheart" fell into her hands.
According to an interview with Empire, Thorne was offered the role without having to go through an audition process, which came as a complete surprise to her. "I was at home in Delaware and I got a call asking if I would like to play this role," she told the publication. "I was so shocked, in fact, that there was a considerable lag in the conversation." She added, "It was probably the most unique experience I've ever had because there was no audition at all."
