Marvel Studios Confirms 'Eyes of Wakanda' Canon Across MCU Timeline

Marvel Studios' new animated miniseries 'Eyes of Wakanda' expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe by exploring Wakanda's rich history through four episodes set between 1260 B.C. and 1896 A.D. The series, executive produced by Ryan Coogler, follows the Hatut Zaraze, Wakandan warriors tasked with recovering stolen vibranium artifacts. It stands out with a unique animation style and deepens the MCU lore, even replacing 'Captain America: The First Avenger' as the earliest timeline entry on Disney+. Among the notable characters introduced is Jorani, a female Iron Fist from the distant past, voiced by Jona Xiao. Anika Noni Rose also appears as 'The Last Panther,' a Wakandan queen from the future, providing a poignant Disney Easter egg linked to her role as Princess Tiana. Though not advancing the main MCU narrative, 'Eyes of Wakanda' is canon and enriches the cultural and historical background of Wakanda and its warriors.
