While it seems like a very rare situation, Marvel has released some new stills for Eyes of Wakanda, the upcoming animated anthology miniseries created by Todd Harris and developed by Ryan Coogler for Disney+.
The premise of the series goes as follows: “The Hatut Zaraze, Wakandan warriors, carry out dangerous missions around the world to retrieve vibranium artifacts throughout history.”
The series stars Winnie Harlow as Noni, a disgraced former member of the Dora Milaje, Wakanda’s all-female special forces. Cress Williams as The Lion, a former Wakandan general-turned-pirate who has stolen advanced technology from the country and plans to use it to found his own tyrannical rule, the “Lion Kingdom”.
Steve Toussaint stars as a jaded agent. Showrunner Todd Harris called the character “authoritative” with “heart and soul,” whose strong devotion to the cause leads to his principles sometimes outweighing his duty.
Additionally, Patricia Belcher, Larry Herron, Adam Gold, Lynn Whitfield, Jacques Colimon, Jona Xiao, Isaac Robinson-Smith, Gary Anthony Williams, Zeke Alton, and Anika Noni Rose all make up the rest of the cast for the series.
Along with the Wakandans, an “Iron Fist” character will appear in the series, but it will not be the Danny Rand Iron Fist.
Eyes of Wakanda is scheduled to be released on Disney+ on August 27, 2025. The four episodes will be the first series of Phase Six of the MCU.
