11 Eyes Of Wakanda Is Set To Expand Wakanda's On-Screen History

Black Panther's Homeland Returns In 2024

Eyes of Wakanda Eyes of Wakanda is an animated Marvel Cinematic Universe series released in 2024. The story will revolve around different characters through various time periods as they attempt to collect vibranium artifacts. Cast Danai Gurira Seasons 1 Streaming Service(s) Disney Plus Franchise(s) Marvel Cinematic Universe

A surprise addition to the MCU slate in December 2023, Eyes of Wakanda is an animated spinoff of the Black Panther movies, which will expand the lore of Wakanda. The official synopsis revealed by Marvel Studios reveals “Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story.”

That suggests the series could be a prequel, focusing on Wakandan "outreach" prior to T'Challa's reign as king, with the Dora Milaje and previous Black Panthers operating to retrieve lost vibranium. Nothing is yet confirmed on the story, nor any cast members, but it's an intriguing way to expand the rich potential of Wakandan lore.

After the success of the first 10 episodes of X-Men '97, which was created by Beau DeMayo before his departure from the project prior to its release, Marvel executive Brad Winterbaum announced that at least two more seasons would follow. DeMayo himself confirmed that he originally had plans for 5 seasons of X-Men '97, so there may be more than what's currently been announced.

X-Men '97's season 1 ending set up several storylines for the future, particularly with the seemingly inevitable arrival of notorious Marvel villain Onslaught. Now that the X-Men are reunited under Charles Xavier's leadership, there is huge potential for even more of Marvel's X-Men comics storylines to also make it to Disney+. Beau DeMayo is seemingly unlikely to return, but the creative team behind the show have proven their mettle so well that there should be confidence that the well-reviewed show can continue on the same path.

5 What If...? Season 3 Could Appear Sooner Than Expected

The MCU Show Was Announced In January 2024

What If...? season 2 came as something of a surprise to audiences, with its release date of December 2023 being announced in November, and a third season being confirmed the month after the second season came out. Given this, it's possible What If...? season 3 will also arrive in dramatic fashion, allowing audiences a further look at the multiversal stories that the show has provided thus far.

While season 2 provided a form of closure to the overarching story of the show, What If...? season 3 could likely still explore more about figures like Kahhori or Captain Carter. However, it coud dalso just as easily explore entirely new stories and interlink them in its own way, providing even more fresh ground for the series to cover.
