According to the the Marvel Comics, Tony Stark will be impressed with Riri Williams after he learned that the young girl has reverse-engineered one of his old armors. Because of that, Tony Stark will be lending his Iron Man status to Riri Williams. That concept is absolutely unexpected and intriguing, but are the "Iron Man" fans willing to give Robert Downey Jr. up to a young unknown teenager?
