Eyes of Wakanda update

Marvel Provides Eyes of Wakanda Update, Animated Series Is Set in Main MCU Continuity

Marvel’s Brad Winderbaum has provided an update on the upcoming Eyes of Wakanda animated series.

Speaking with Men’s Health, Winderbaum — the head of streaming, television, and animation at Marvel Studios — confirmed that Eyes of Wakanda will take place within the MCU’s main continuity.

“We’re exploring so many amazing avenues on the animated side,” he said. “Eyes of Wakanda, more than any other show, fits right into our sacred MCU timeline continuity. [Black Panther director Ryan Coogler] is a producer on it, Todd Harris is one of our long-time storyboard artists who directs it. It’s about Wakandan history and mythology, and it’s really cool. It looks amazing. And it feels like, ‘Okay I’m getting an animated look into the MCU.’”

Regarding other forthcoming Marvel animated series, Winderbaum said, “There’s also a third season of What If…? with Bryan Andrews leading the charge, whose been there from the beginning. And without spoiling anything, that’s where we start to feel crossover potential with animated projects. We’ve got Marvel Zombies coming down the road. And Jeff Trammell’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which I’m going into a sound mix for in a couple of hours. It’s so great. He and his team over there, they know how to make you invest in characters. It’s a very high school, ensemble-driven show with Peter Parker at the center. It’s just so much fun.”

What is Eyes of Wakanda?

In December 2023, Marvel Studios announced a new Black Panther spin-off animated series, Eyes of Wakanda, will premiere on Disney+ in 2024. 

“Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story,” the official description reads.

Further plot details are not available at this time, though Marc Bernardin previously confirmed he wrote two episodes of the series.

Eyes of Wakanda does not yet have a premiere date from Marvel Studios.
