Marvel fans in Malaysia and around the world are in for an epic treat this August, as Eyes of Wakanda — the latest animated series from Marvel Animation — is set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar on 1 August 2025.
The new four-episode series promises to take viewers on a globe-trotting, time-spanning adventure deep into the untold history of Wakanda’s bravest warriors.
After a thrilling debut at the Annecy International Animation Festival last month, Eyes of Wakanda is ready to bring the spirit of Wakanda back to screens — but this time in animated form.
A New Perspective on Wakanda’s Legacy
Unlike previous Marvel entries that focus on modern-day superheroes, Eyes of Wakanda dives into the past and present of the fictional African kingdom. The series follows elite warriors known as the Hatut Zeraze, tasked with recovering stolen Vibranium artifacts across different eras and lands.
Each episode showcases a different warrior’s journey, revealing how far Wakanda’s influence and vigilance extend. From ancient battlefields to futuristic cities, the Hatut Zeraze take on threats that jeopardize the very core of Wakanda’s power.
It’s a story of honor, sacrifice, and hidden history, rich with lore for long-time Black Panther fans and new viewers alike.
A Star-Studded Voice Cast
The voice cast of Eyes of Wakanda features a blend of acclaimed actors, rising stars, and recognizable voices, including:
- Winnie Harlow
- Cress Williams
- Patricia Belcher
- Anika Noni Rose
- Steve Toussaint
- Zeke Alton
- Jacques Colimon
- Jona Xiao, and many more.
This diverse ensemble brings life and depth to the animated characters, making each episode a unique cinematic experience.
A Creative Team with MCU DNA
Eyes of Wakanda is spearheaded by Todd Harris, who serves as director and executive producer. Harris is no stranger to major franchises — he’s contributed to John Wick, and served as a storyboard artist for Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
The series is executive produced by some of Marvel’s biggest creative names:
- Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther
- Brad Winderbaum
- Kevin Feige
- Louis D’Esposito
- Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt
Their involvement signals that Eyes of Wakanda is not just another spin-off, but a carefully crafted addition to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) — one that expands Wakanda’s mythology while standing strong on its own.
Short But Powerful: Only Four Episodes
Yes, the series will only have four episodes, but don’t let that fool you. Each installment is packed with high-stakes action, emotional storytelling, and world-building on par with Marvel’s best.
Instead of stretching the story thin, Eyes of Wakanda aims for maximum impact in minimal time — giving audiences a concentrated dose of Wakandan lore and heroism.
Eyes of Wakanda promises to deliver visually stunning action, rich storytelling, and a fresh take on the Marvel universe — all while celebrating the legacy and mystery of one of its most iconic locations.
