Black Panther spin-off series Eyes of Wakanda is now releasing a few weeks earlier on Disney Plus.

As revealed by Entertainment Weekly, the animated four-part show is dropping on August 1 instead of its prior landing spot of August 27.

With Fantastic Four: First Steps in cinemas, this is one of the more under-the-radar MCU entries in 2025 – but no less intriguing.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
