Marvel’s BLACK PANTHER Animated Series Will Be the Most Important Animated MCU Show Yet — GeekTyrant

While many of the Marvel animated series were entertaining, none of them had a truly significant impact on events in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Well, it sounds like that will change with the Black Panther Cartoon, Eyes of Wakandawhich is considered the most important animated series for the MCU to date.

As a guest on the official Marvel Podcast, the head of streaming, television and animation at Marvel Studios, Brad Winderbaum gave some insights into the series.

Winderbaum said, “Eyes of Wakanda is more directly tied to the MCU than any other animated series we do. This is a story about the history of Wakanda… It’s both about the history of Wakanda and the expansion of the MCU to different time periods. So if you’re a fan of the movies, I think this series will be a real treat.”

The series follows former members of the Black Panthers and Dora Milaje as they search for Vibranium artifacts throughout Wakanda’s history. When Winderbaum previously spoke about the series, he said:

“We’re exploring so many amazing possibilities on the animation side. Eyes of Wakanda, more than any other show, fits right into our sacred MCU timeline continuity. (Black Panther director Ryan Coogler) is a producer, Todd Harris is one of our longtime storyboard artists who is directing.

“It’s about the history and mythology of Wakanda and it’s really cool. It looks amazing. And it feels like, ‘Okay, I’m getting an animated glimpse into the MCU.'”

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler produces the show and is directed by Todd Harrisa former Marvel storyboard artist.

I’m excited to see how this project turns out.
