Marvel fans hold a special place in their hearts for Wakanda, the advanced African nation introduced in the hit movie Black Panther. With the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman (the actor who portrayed the iconic King T’Challa), Wakanda’s future in the Marvel movies has become uncertain. Also, there hasn’t been any update on Black Panther 3 either.

However, there is some good news. A new animated series named Eyes of Wakanda is coming out soon. It’ll bring back the excitement of Wakanda with awesome action scenes and a deep look into the country’s history.

According to Brad Winderbaum, Head of TV and Streaming at Marvel Studios, Eyes of Wakanda will be “a real treat” for Black Panther fans. The series promises to deliver non-stop excitement with mind-blowing fight scenes and epic battles. But this show goes beyond just the thrills.

It will also look into Wakanda’s rich history, following legendary warriors as they travel across the world and through time. Their quest is to discover Vibranium artifacts that power Wakanda’s amazing technology.

But Eyes of Wakanda isn’t just about the past. According to Winderbaum, the series will also connect with the larger MCU across different time periods. This means we might see familiar Marvel characters making appearances from different times, which sounds pretty exciting! The Marvel exec said in an interview with The Official Marvel Podcast:

Eyes Of Wakanda, more than any other show we’re doing in animation, ties in the MCU… It’s both about the history of Wakanda, but it also expands into the greater MCU at different time periods. So if you’re a fan of the movies, I think this show is going to be a real treat.

With this promising update, it seems like the series won’t let fans down.

Two years after the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, fans are eager to know what’s next for the popular franchise. While the team behind the film needed time to reflect after Chadwick Boseman‘s passing, there have been hints of future developments.

Recent comments by Letitia Wright points that Marvel Studios is planning something. Speaking to The View, the actress said, “There are a lot of things coming up.” With Avengers 5 filming next year, it’s likely Shuri (Wright’s character) will team up with Earth’s mightiest heroes.
