The long-gestating Ironheart series comes to Disney+ next month, but that’s not the only Black Panther-related spinoff we can look forward to from Marvel Studios and executive producer Ryan Coogler this summer, as Marvel’s animation division also debuts its latest offering, Eyes of Wakanda.
As revealed in a first-look feature over at Entertainment Weekly, the series is described by showrunner Todd Harris as “anthology adjacent”, with each episode occurring at a different point in time throughout the history of Wakanda that also tells a connected, overarching “globe-trotting adventure.”
“The story starts off during the end of the Western Bronze Age, and that spark sets off this giant spy-espionage story that reverberates through time,” states Harris. “You get Wakanda-grade James Bond, and sometimes a Jane Bond, with the backdrop of all the awesomeness that is Wakanda.”
