'Eyes of Wakanda' first look: Creator sets up time-spanning 'spy-espionage story'
- Eyes of Wakanda is a four-part animated Marvel miniseries premiering August 6, 2025, on Disney+ featuring Wakandan warriors across history.
- Showrunner Todd Harris created the series to tell a spy-espionage story starting at the end of the Western Bronze Age that spans multiple MCU time periods.
- The narrative follows the Hatut Zaraze, Wakanda's CIA-like defense group tasked with secretly recovering Vibranium artifacts from enemies to prevent larger threats.
- Harris said, "They let me go hog wild," describing the show as "Wakanda-grade James Bond," and noted Steve Toussaint voices a jaded agent devoted to his cause.
- The anthology-adjacent series aims to deepen MCU canon by revealing Wakanda's covert history and may influence future Marvel stories, including Ryan Coogler's planned threequel.
