Similar to What If…?, Eyes of Wakanda leans hard into the fantastical and remixes pieces of the larger MCU canon in a way that makes it come across like Marvel-approved fanfiction. While there is a certain degree of connective tissue between its episodes, Eyes of Wakanda zooms in on a series of very different, pivotal moments from the nation’s history. Image: Disney Plus / MarvelBecause it’s a series about highly trained warriors, Eyes of Wakanda is a touch more brutal than Marvel’s previous Disney Plus series. Unlike What If…?, which was focused on expanding Marvel’s multiverse, Eyes of Wakanda puts more of its energy into highlighting real pieces of African history that inspired Black Panther’s lore. Eyes of Wakanda also stars Lynn Whitfield, Jona Xiao, Steve Toussaint, Anika Noni Rose, Patricia Belcher, and Gary Anthony Williams.
