What does Marvel producer say about Eyes of Wakanda?

While promoting X-Men '97, Marvel's producer and head of streaming, animation, and television, Brad Winderbaum, revealed in an interview with Men's Health an update regarding the MCU animated series Eyes of Wakanda.

Winderbaum disclosed that the series, exploring the lives of former Black Panthers and members of Dora Milaje, as they go out to find vibranium relics, is now formally a part of the revered MCU timeline. That being said, Disney+ users shouldn't anticipate seeing well-known characters like Shuri and others in the series.

Calling the upcoming series "cool" and "amazing," Winderbaum said,

"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."

With this intriguing revelation, Eyes of Wakanda promises to blend into the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, giving viewers a closer look into the history of Wakanda and its legendary warriors.

What is Eyes of Wakanda?

Eyes of Wakanda is a Black Panther spin-off that was announced in December 2023. The show will debut exclusively on Disney+ sometime in 2024.

Plot details are still scant, but fans may expect a compelling story written by series writer Marc Bernardin, who has reportedly written two episodes so far. In the podcast Fatman Beyond, in December last year, American director Kevin Smith discussed how the series scripting was already in the works during the pademic times.

"They announced the show with some footage called Eyes of Wakanda. Almost nobody knows anything about the Eyes of Wakanda," Smith said.

Bernardin also spoke about it, revealing only that he had written two episodes.

"I wrote two episodes of it. So, I know some things about Eyes of Wakanda. I can't say anything besides that or the snipers will get twitchy."

Although Marvel Studios has not yet announced a release date, Eyes of Wakanda brings a thrilling new depth to the MCU and blends in well with the cherished franchise's intricate narrative. The official synopsis reads,

"Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story."
