It’s true. Even though Iron Man 3 came out 3 years before Riri Williams was created in the comics, they really messed up by not including her.

This kid in Iron Man 3 should’ve been replaced by Riri Williams. Imagine this being a young girl who helps out Tony Stark and by the end of it she’s inspired to be just like him. Then we don’t see her until she’s grown up and attending M.I.T. in Wakanda Forever.
