Spinoff TV Series of Black Panther Reveals Key Character, Yet Anticipation Surges Over Its Unveiling Method
2025 TV Schedule Sneak Peek: Awesome Offerings for the Rest of the Year
Get ready, Marvel enthusiasts! The upcoming Disney+ original, Eyes of Wakanda, is going to be a treat for fans of Black Panther, as it delves into the escapades of Wakandan heroes guarding stolen technology across different eras. Rumor has it that a familiar MCU character might be getting a remake.
During the Annecy Animation Festival, Disney+ series creator and showrunner, Todd Harris, shared some intriguing insights about the forthcoming anthology series scheduled to premiere on August 5th. Among various intriguing elements, Harris hinted at a surprising reference seemingly inspired by Ayn Rand:
Long-time fans may recall someone named Ayn Rand associated with Marvel – though it was but a flashback. Previously, Netflix had its own live-action series, Iron Fist, featuring Finn Jones as the Danny Rand variant of the character. The series garnered controversy and was not as well-loved as other streaming siblings.
Given the opportunity to tie this continuity back to the MCU, some fans might have hoped for the inclusion of Iron Fist in Eyes of Wakanda. With the recent plot twists in the Disney+ original Daredevil: Born Again, we've seen returning characters like Jon Bernthal's Punisher and Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. Yet, it remains uncertain whether Danny Rand is a part of this reunion.
Disney+ and Hulu Bundle for as Low as $10.99 a MonthEnjoy the best of Marvel extravaganza or delve into adult-oriented series like Daredevil: Born Again for just $10.99 a month (or $19.99 ad-free). Netflix fans who loved Iron Fist can still catch it, though The Defenders can only be found on Hulu.
The phrase "not the Iron Fist you'd expect" fuels speculations that Marvel Studios is considering rethinking the backlash from the previous Iron Fist series. Given the commitment to authentic Wakandan culture demonstrated in Eyes of Wakanda and the Mandarin retcon in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, some fans are hopeful that an Asian actor could soon embody Iron Fist – a decision that seems logically fitting.
Yet, as we venture further into the Multiverse Saga, it's vital to exercise patience until Eyes of Wakanda unveils the new take on the classic character. So, mark your calendars – the four-episode series will premiere on Disney+ on August 5th.
