EYES OF WAKANDA Teaser Promises Hidden Histories and an Interesting New MCU Story
Marvel has released a new teaser for Eyes of Wakanda, and it makes one thing clear… there’s a lot more to Wakanda’s legacy than we’ve seen so far.
The animated series dives deep into Wakandan history. Each episode plays out as its own standalone story, spanning different eras and corners of the world, as elite Wakandan warriors retrieve stolen Vibranium from enemies who have no idea what they’re messing with. It’s a spiritual cousin to Black Panther, but with a global, time-hopping twist.
Eyes of Wakanda “follows the adventures of brave Wakandan warriors throughout history. In this globe-trotting adventure, the heroes must carry out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda. They are the Hatut Zaraze, and this is their story.”
The teaser leans into mystery and momentum, showing glimpses of new characters, intense battles, and locations far from the borders of Wakanda. A voiceover teases that “many secrets” will be uncovered, which sets the tone for something more expansive and mythic than fans may be expecting.
Ryan Coogler, the creative force behind Black Panther and Wakanda Forever, is back in the mix as executive producer, bringing along key collaborators like Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Zinzi Coogler, and Sev Ohanian.
Head of streaming, television, and animation for Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum shared some insight on the series, syaing: “Eyes of Wakanda, more than any other show, we’re doing in animation, ties directly into the MCU. This is a story about Wakandan history ... 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’s going to be a real treat.”
The voice cast includes an impressive mix of talent: Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Anika Noni Rose, and Steve Toussaint, among others.
With Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel is looking to explore untold history, confront stolen legacies, and expand its world in a fresh, animated direction.
The series is set to debut on Disney+ on August 27, 2025.
