Marvel Artist Confirms Skai Jackson Was the Art Inspiration for New Iron Man Riri Williams

Final week, we gave you a extra real looking record of black actresses who may play the Marvel function of Riri Williams in Iron Man.  (For the record, take a look at Days After Marvel Introduced Its New Iron Man, HollyWood is Already Erasing Her Darkish Pores and skin.) Skai Jackson was our high pick of fourteen potential actresses.  Then, two days later, Mike Deodato Jr. (Riri’s artist) tweeted the true inspiration for the character. 

Nicely, what have you learnt!?!  The inspiration was Skai Jackson!Simply to remind you of what Leisure Weekly introduced as its personal record, which sparked our earlier dialogue. The unique record additionally included Sonequa Martin-Inexperienced, Kiersey Clemons, Denée Benton, and Amandla Stenberg.  

Hopefully, Skai Jackson will truly be solid as Riri!
