Marvel Reveals Plot Details For New Black Panther Disney+ Series

At the time of this article's publishing, neither Disney nor Marvel Studios have clarified whether "Eyes of Wakanda" is the same "Black Panther"-related show that the companies first announced back in 2021. If it is, however, then there are a few further concrete details on the series that have already been released.

When Disney first announced the Wakanda-focused series, the company noted that "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler and his multimedia company Proximity Media were involved in development of the project. "As avid consumers of television, we couldn't be happier to be launching our television business with Bob Iger, Dana Walden and all the amazing studios under the Disney umbrella," Coogler said in a statement obtained by IGN at the time. "We look forward to learning, growing, and building a relationship with audiences all over the world through the Disney platforms."

What's more, The Hollywood Reporter wrote in 2021 that a "Black Panther" Disney+ series would feature Danai Gurira's Okoye in some capacity. That casting lines up with the premise of "Eyes of Wakanda," as Okoye could very well be one of the central Wakandan warriors that the show focuses on. Gurira previously reprised the role for the animated series "What If...?" on the streaming service.
