“Ironheart” is a collaboration between Chicago’s Office of Emergency Management and Communications and Marvel Comics.

OEMC said they rolled out a special “Ironheart”-themed wrap on the CTA Red Line.

Previously OEMC has partnered with Marvel Comics to use the “Ironheart” to bring preparedness information to the city.

The campaign features topics like reporting suspicious activity and severe weather.

The show is set after the events of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” It tells the story of Riri Williams returning to her hometown of Chicago.

Riri, a young, genius inventor, has a unique take on building iron suits.

The series also stars Lyric Ross, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, Anji White, Regan Aliyah and Alden Ehrenreich.

“Ironheart” launches on Disney+ June 24.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Marvel and this ABC station.
