Marvel fans got some cause for optimism when Denzel Washington recently confirmed that Black Panther 3 is, in fact, on the way. Though it may be a while before a concrete update surfaces, fans won’t have to wait long to return to Wakanda. An animated spin-off of the Black Panther series has been in the works for years, although the details of the project have been a mystery. Now, however, Eyes of Wakanda finally has a release date (August 6, 2025), along with an official premise.
On the surface, Eyes of Wakanda has a lot in common with Marvel anthologies like What If...? The four-part series will follow the adventures of “brave Wakandan warriors throughout history.” Specifically, it will show us the Hatut Zaraze, who serve as the nation’s secret police. Their reputation in Marvel Comics is controversial, as they’re known to carry out missions too dangerous or dubious for the Black Panther. But Eyes of Wakanda will likely paint the Hatut Zaraze in a more noble light, as each episode will follow members throughout history as they “carry out dangerous missions to retrieve Vibranium artifacts from the enemies of Wakanda.”
