The animated spinoff series Eyes of Wakanda is set to premiere on Disney+ earlier than expected, launching on August 1 instead of August 27. This series will consist of four episodes that explore different time periods with the storyline centered around Noni, voiced by Winnie Harlow, a former Dora Milaje member turned Hatut Zaraze recruit. Noni embarks on a mission to reclaim stolen Wakandan technology from The Lion, a former Wakandan who has turned into a warlord. Showrunner Todd Harris aims to intertwine various elements from different narratives, highlighting themes of power and betrayal. Additionally, fan-favorite character Iron Fist will appear in a new rendition, distancing itself from the previous Netflix portrayal.
