Marvel’s Eyes of Wakanda animated series is coming our way in August. The Disney+ show boasts Ryan Coogler as its executive producer and Todd Harris as its showrunner and will take us into this brilliant country like we’ve never seen it before. In an interview with Entertainment WeeklyOpens in a new tab, Harris revealed more plot details about Eyes of Wakanda’s espionage tale with James Bond type characters in the mix along with some new images. And, we finally have a teaser trailer to show us a tidbit of Eyes of Wakanda, too.
Eyes of Wakanda will follow the Hatut Zaraze, a collective of Wakandan operatives called the Dogs of War. Their mission is to recover dangerous Vibranium artifacts across history, all the way back to the end of the Western Bronze Age.
In the Marvel Comics, the Hatut Zaraze made their debut in Black Panther Vol. 3 #4. They are essentially Wakanda’s secret law enforcement that gets rid of threats by any means necessary. Their leader was the White Wolf, T’Chaka’s adopted son, and their methods of dealing with people were pretty gnarly.
“I really liked the idea of everyone’s view of history,” Harris said in the interview. “The story starts off during the end of the Western Bronze Age, and that spark sets off this giant spy-espionage story that reverberates through time… You get Wakanda-grade James Bond, and sometimes a Jane Bond, with the backdrop of all the awesomeness that is Wakanda.”
Eyes of Wakanda will bring together “the interconnectivity of Marvel with the interconnectivity of history along with the interconnectivity of the human story.”
Check out the new images from Eyes of Wakanda:
This sounds like such a cool project. And we cannot wait to see a full trailer sometime soon. Eyes of Wakanda will hit Disney+ on August 6.
