Ryan Coogler Marvel Odyssey: There’s buzz in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Ryan Coogler, known for his impactful direction in Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is stepping into another key role. He’s all set to produce the Ironheart series for Disney+, adding another milestone to his remarkable journey within the MCU.
A recent report from Variety has confirmed that the MCU luminary Ryan Coogler is onboard for the exciting Eyes of Wakanda series, a new venture slated for Disney+. This is an extension of his production involvement, expanding on his introduction of the character in Black Panther 2.
There have been whispers about Coogler’s production company, Proximity Media, sealing a significant five-year deal with Marvel Studios, intending to birth multiple Black Panther spin-offs within the MCU. The latest addition, Eyes of Wakanda, is likely part of this visionary collaboration.
This series promises to shine a light on the narrative journey of Wakandan warriors on a quest across the globe, seeking missing vibranium artifacts – similar to the one seized in the opening sequences of 2018’s Black Panther by Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger and Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue.
But that’s not all when it comes to animated projects within the MCU tied to the world of Black Panther. Get ready for an alternate universe portrayal of Wakanda’s King in Season 2 of What If…?, slated for the end of 2023.
Rumors are swirling around Coogler possibly taking the director’s chair for Marvel Studios’ grand ensemble piece, Avengers: Secret Wars. However, as of late 2022, Coogler himself remained unaware of any discussions about this monumental project while promoting his latest MCU installment.
With fans eagerly hoping for Black Panther 3, it’s clear that Coogler holds a significant position in the MCU’s hierarchy – one he seems keen on maintaining for the foreseeable future.
As for Eyes of Wakanda, the release date is still a mystery, leaving Marvel enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the MCU saga.
