Marvel Announces New Black Panther Animated Series ‘Eyes of Wakanda’
As part of a sneak peek at the upcoming What If…? Season 2, Marvel Studios announced that a new Black Panther-centric animated series is coming to Disney+.
The new animated series is titled Eyes of Wakanda and will follow the warriors from Wakanda as they travel the world to recover dangerous vibranium artifacts.
“Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story,” the official description reads.
Is This The Announced Ryan Cooger Series?
In 2021, Disney revealed that Black Panther director Ryan Coogler would be developing a new series based on Wakanda. That series was expected to be a live-action series. It is unclear at this time if Eyes of Wakanda is a replacement for the planned live-action series or something altogether different.
If it is, the show would be the first project created as part of Disney’s five-year exclusive television deal with Coogler’s Proximity Media. The project was also confirmed to see the return of Okoye (Danai Gurira).
A Banner Year For Marvel Animation
Outside of the Eyes of Wakanda, 2024 is shaping up to be a banner year for Marvel animation.
While What If…? Season 2 is set to debut this December, work on Season 3 is reportedly already underway.
Also debuting in 2024 will be the newly renamed Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. That series will focus on an alternate universe version of Peter Parker and is set prior to the events of Captain America: Civil War.
‘X-Men 97’
Last but certainly not least, the long-awaited X-Men: The Animated Series reboot, X-Men 97′, will debut next year.
Fans attending the What If…? sneak preview were also treated to footage from the upcoming X-Men series. The clips focused on Cyclops but also showed Wolverine charging forward with his claws kinetically charged by Gambit.
