The upcoming animated Marvel series Eyes of Wakanda will delve into the history of the mysterious nation more than ever before, following a band of Wakandan warriors called The War Dogs as they travel the world in search of dangerous vibranium artifacts. Spinning off from the incredibly popular MCUBlack Panther movies, the animated series is surprisingly short with only four episodes. Fan reactions to the series’ announcement have been mixed, but one new reveal from D23 has Marvel audiences particularly excited: Iron Fist will be a prominent character in the series. You can check out the official synopsis for the series below.

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

Head of TV for Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum, has revealed the scope of the series, teasing how crucial it will be to the wider MCU and how it will expand the lore of both Wakanda and Black Panther.

“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 of you’re a fan of the movies, I think this show is going to be a real treat.”

Eyes of Wakanda is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2024.
