A new trailer for Marvel Studios' new animated series Eyes of Wakanda has dropped. And, along with giving us some glimpses of Black Panthers through history, it also shows off the first official MCU version of Iron Fist – albeit, not Danny Rand.

There have been dozens of Iron Fists over the centuries, so the new MCU version could be based on one of the previous comic book incarnations, or she could be an entirely new creation.
Finn Jones played the classic Iron Fist, Danny Rand, in two seasons of his own Netflix show, though the series failed to land with most audiences and is considered the weakest of the streamer's Marvel shows. Daredevil: Born Again season two brings back Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, but as yet, neither Finn Jones or Luke Cage actor Mike Colter have been confirmed as returning in the streaming series.
Eyes of Wakanda premieres August 1 on Disney Plus, with Marvel Zombies and Wonder Man to follow later this year. For more, check out our guide to upcoming Marvel movies and Marvel Phase 6.
