EYES OF WAKANDA Trailer Teases Epic Animated Exploration of Black Panther’s Ancient Legacy
Marvel Studios has unveiled the first trailer for Eyes of Wakanda, a interesting new animated series that dives deep into the ancient history of the Black Panther universe.
Arriving on Disney+ August 1, this four-episode limited series is executive produced by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler and expands the mythology of Wakanda through an entirely new lens.
Set long before the events of T’Challa’s reign, the series follows a group of elite Wakandan warriors known as the Hatut Zeraze as they travel the globe retrieving Vibranium artifacts stolen by enemies of the nation.
According to Marvel, “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 voice cast includes Winnie Harlow, Cress Williams, Patricia Belcher, Anika Noni Rose, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, and more.
This new series marks the latest return to Wakanda since Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which introduced the underwater civilization of Talokan and revisited familiar faces like Shuri, Nakia, and Okoye. Wakandan characters have continued to play a role across the MCU, most recently in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier with Florence Kasumba’s Ayo.
Todd Harris directs the series, stepping up from his previous work as a storyboard artist on both Black Panther films. He’s joined by executive producers Coogler, Kevin Feige, Brad Winderbaum, Louis D’Esposito, and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt.
The series will deliver a blend action, world-building, and cultural depth in a way that fans of Wakanda have come to expect. You can watch the trailer below and get ready to uncover the legacy that shaped the world’s most secretive and powerful nation.
