Eyes of Wakanda ties directly into the MCU, plus updates on X-Men ’97, What If., Daredevil, and more.
Marvel’s animated shows have always been exciting and entertaining, but none of them have ever had a real, crucial impact on the events of the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s about to change.
Speaking on the Official Marvel Podcast, the head of streaming, television, and animation for Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum, revealed that the upcoming Eyes of Wakanda will be the most singularly important animated show to the MCU to date.
“Eyes of Wakanda, more than any other show, we’re doing in animation, ties directly into the MCU,” Winderbaum said. “This is a story about Wakandan history . It’s both about the history of Wakanda, but it also expands into the greater MCU at different time periods. So if you’re a fan of the movies, I think this show’s going to be a real treat.”
Ryan Coogler, who directed the Black Panther movies, is producing the show and it’s being run by Todd Harris, a former Marvel storyboard artist.
