A new clip at Eyes For Wakanda gives a new look at the world of the Marvel series 

Eyes For Wakanda is finally lifting the curtain on the secret lives of Wakanda's elite warriors, and a brand new clip gives us a powerful peek into that world. The animated Marvel series, set to stream on Disney+ from August 1, 2025, isn't just another superhero show.

It takes us way back, centuries before T'Challa's time, to follow the Hatut Zaraze as they recover stolen vibranium across generations. Yes, this one's rooted firmly in the Marvel timeline, but the stories it tells feel unlike anything we've seen from the MCU before.

The Hatut Zaraze take center stage in a centuries-spanning mission in Eyes for Wakanda

The fresh clip from Eyes For Wakanda wastes no time dropping us into the world of Wakanda's War Dogs, elite operatives tasked with protecting the kingdom's greatest secret: Vibranium.

But this isn't the tech-heavy Wakanda we've seen before. The series opens in the 13th century and moves across eras and continents - from ancient Crete to imperial China, and all the way to Ethiopia in the late 1800s. These episodes explore what it truly costs to serve Wakanda from the shadows.

Created by Ryan Coogler and directed by Todd Harris, the show is more than just action.

Each half-hour episode feels like its own window into a moment in time, carried by a new mission and new faces. And those faces are brought to life by a cast including Winnie Harlow, Larry Herron, Cress Williams, and Anika Noni Rose.

The Eyes For Wakanda clip teases moments of stealth, deep loyalty, and hard choices—especially for Noni, a former Dora Milaje who was cast out but still puts Wakanda above all. Her mission to retrieve Vibranium from a rogue agent sets the tone for the show's deeper themes: tradition, duty, and sacrifice.

A whole new visual and emotional side of Wakanda unfolds

While Eyes For Wakanda plays within the Marvel timeline, it feels like it's drawing from a different well entirely. The animation style is expressive and painterly, inspired by the work of Ernie Barnes, with striking character movement and choreographed fight scenes that push past Marvel's usual visual rhythm.

In the clip, we see this clearly through the contrast between two leads—Noni, fluid and sharp in her movements, and Memnon, a Trojan agent, whose brute power speaks volumes without saying a word.

The show moves beyond surface-level superheroism. Even in brief glimpses, it's clear that Eyes For Wakanda is interested in the emotional burden of secrecy, loyalty, and what it means to fight for a nation that may not always fight for you in return.

The vibranium missions, each launched with crisp, spy-style briefings, are only part of the journey. It's the characters' inner battles that give the series its weight. And because the Hatut Zaraze don't wear crowns or command the spotlight, their stories feel grounded, even when the stakes are massive.

With Eyes For Wakanda, Marvel Animation opens the door to parts of Wakanda we've never seen before. The new clip sets up an adventure rooted in legacy, loss, and identity told through the eyes of warriors who live and die in the shadows. For fans of the MCU, this series is shaping up to be an essential and eye-opening addition.
