An animated series about Wakanda and its historical heroes is in the works at Marvel.

Other details on the show are scarce, so it’s unclear at the moment who will be starring in the series, or what characters we can expect to appear.

A live-action Wakanda series was also said to be in the works from Ryan Coogler, thoughBlack Panther: Wakanda ForeverproducerNate Moore gave a disappointing update on its status last year. “Because of the amount of time and attention that went into [Black Panther: Wakanda Forever], and frankly the Ironheart show, that is probably not as far along as people want it to be,” Moore said. “But there are certainly great ideas that we’re still talking to Ryan about. So, we’ll see how far we can get with it.”

A show about Dora Milaje warrior Okoye was also reportedly in the works, though it’s unclear whether this is actually the same show as the Wakanda series.

Either way, we have Eyes of Wakanda to look forward to – and thereaction to What If…? season 2has so far been very positive, with viewers praising the holiday episode and the quality of the animation.
