To make Ironheart feel tactile, the show's creative team had to get on the same page

Angela Barnes, our director, is amazing because she leans so heavily into the narrative. With Ironheart, episode 5 starts, and the first third is action sequences. I feel some directors get lost in the 'let's do this cool action' thing, and all of the punching, kicking, and fighting becomes a blur. But Angela really wanted to root our action in the story.
