Marvel fans in Malaysia and around the world are in for a treat as Marvel Animation’s “Eyes of Wakanda” begins streaming exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar starting July 29, 2025.
The highly anticipated animated series made its debut earlier than expected, following an exciting sneak peek at the Annecy International Animation Festival last month.
A Bold New Chapter for Wakanda
“Eyes of Wakanda” brings a fresh and immersive take on the legacy of Wakanda, diving deeper into its rich history and heroic lineage.
Consisting of four action-packed episodes, the series follows the Hatut Zeraze, an elite group of Wakandan warriors, as they travel across the globe and through time to recover stolen Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda.
Rather than focusing on T’Challa or Shuri, the series expands the Black Panther universe by highlighting unsung heroes from Wakanda’s past. This approach not only adds new depth to the lore but also showcases how the country’s legacy has been fiercely protected throughout generations.
A Star-Studded Voice Cast
The voice cast of “Eyes of Wakanda” is both impressive and diverse, featuring:
- Winnie Harlow
- Cress Williams
- Patricia Belcher
- Larry Herron
- Lynn Whitfield

Each episode is enriched with authentic voice performances that bring the characters to life while maintaining the cultural essence of Wakanda.
Powerhouse Creative Team
“Eyes of Wakanda” is helmed by Todd Harris, who makes his directorial debut with this series. A seasoned storyboard artist and producer, Harris is no stranger to high-octane action storytelling, having worked on blockbuster franchises like John Wick and several Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films.
Harris’s connection to Wakanda began as a storyboard artist on “Black Panther” and “Wakanda Forever”, collaborating closely with acclaimed director Ryan Coogler. He also worked on Coogler’s upcoming project “Sinners” as an illustrator, making “Eyes of Wakanda” a natural next step in his creative journey.
The series is executive produced by Marvel legends including:
- Ryan Coogler
- Brad Winderbaum
- Kevin Feige
- Louis D’Esposito
- Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt
Together, this creative team ensures that “Eyes of Wakanda” not only delivers on action and storytelling but also remains true to the spirit of the Black Panther legacy.

Fans can expect a globe-trotting adventure filled with tense battles, stealth missions, and mystical artifacts that reveal new layers of Wakanda’s ancient power. The animation style reflects Marvel’s signature cinematic flair, combined with a unique African aesthetic that adds authenticity to every frame.
Although the series is animated, it’s packed with mature storytelling and epic stakes, making it just as thrilling as any live-action Marvel project.
