Ryan Coogler Developing MCU Series Set in Wakanda for Disney+
Its not very often we get Marvel Studios news that hasn’t either been rumored around the web or announced at a major event focused on fans, press or investors so this particular piece of news not only comes as a delight but a pretty big surprise. Today via their Twitter account, Marvel Studios announced a five-year television deal with Black Panther writer/director Ryan Coogler‘s production studio Proximity Media and The Walt Disney Company. The deal more or less guarantees an ample amount of projects for both Marvel and Disney, including a Wakanda-based MCU series for Disney+ that they’re already working on.
When 2020 saw the untimely passing of the legendary Chadwick Boseman, many fans wondered if Wakanda’s chapter of the MCU had been forced to a close. Apparently, Marvel Studios has other plans. With prior announcements that King T’Challa will not be recast in the MCU, this leaves a lot of possibility for what kind of series we may be getting.
The last we saw the technologically advanced nation was in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War when it was left ungoverned after its king was unexpectedly turned to dust following an intense battle against an army of outriders. But we still haven’t seen a Wakanda in the aftermath of the blip. While Black Panther 2 has been confirmed to heavily focus on the nation and the rich culture that surrounds it we should still expect to see plenty of that in the Disney+ series. Given Wakanda’s deep comic-lore we could see anything from an Agents of Wakanda adaption to a Nakia/Dora Milaje focused series or even one focused on M’Baku’s White Gorilla Cult. It’s also possible they give us the Black Panthers of Wakanda’s past in action.
