6 Things to Know About "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" Star Dominique Thorne

Some of Thorne's major acting roles are in Marvel productions, so it would make sense that she is a fan of the superhero universe. She talked about her lifelong love for Marvel and knowledge of Ironheart in a February interview with BlackFilmandTV.com, saying, "I think my mother might disown me if I didn't. It's very much a Marvel household. I did know about Ironheart before I was approached with the role. So it was an awe, inspiring moment to think that I would be chosen to portray this woman and to bring her to the screen in this way."
