When Black Panther was released in 2018, fans were so captivated by Wakanda that there was a clamor for a series set in the kingdom. There was even a Change.org petition for the show in hopes that Marvel would listen.
Well, the studio heeded the demand of its audience and started working on the two Black Panther spin-offs. One is centered on Danai Gurira's Okoye and another was the Wakanda series that fans have been asking for.
The show for Okoye will be focusing on the origin story of the Dora Milaje's leader and how she rose to become the commanding officer of Wakanda's elite forces. There is little information about the Wakanda series in terms of plot or characters.
We know that both are projects that will be part of director Ryan Coogler's five-year contract with Marvel. Coogler's Proximity Media has been tasked to develop the Black Panther spin-offs and to co-produce the Ironheart series.
Nate Moore, producer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, gave an update about the project. It looks like we may have to wait a little while before we get to see them on Disney+.
