WORLD OF WAKANDA Live-Action BLACK PANTHER Spin-Off Series Rumored To Be In Development

In addition to the animated Eyes of Wakanda Disney+ series currently in the works, a new rumor is claiming that a live-action Black Panther spin-off titled World of Wakanda is also in development...

We know that an animated Black Panther spin-off titled Eyes of Wakanda is on its way, but Marvel Studios may also be planning to continue the saga of the late King T'Challa's people in a live-action format.

According to insider Daniel Richtman, a live-action Disney+ series titled World of Wakanda is in development at Marvel Studios. Ryan Coogler, who helmed both Black Panther movies, is involved in the animated show, but we're not sure if he will also have any input in this project.

Plot details are also a mystery, but there's a good chance this series will incorporate some of the ideas from the now defunct Okoye and the Midnight Angels show that was in the early planning stages last year.

Wakanda Forever served as a fitting tribute to T'Challa and the late Chadwick Boseman while establishing Shuri (Letitia Wright) as the new Panther and introducing an entire aquatic civilization. The mid-credits scene also featured the debut of T'Challa's son, who will almost certainly take over as Wakanda's King and protector someday.

So, it's fair to say the movie set-up quite a few things that could potentially be explored in future sequels and/or spin-off shows.

During a 2022 interview with the New York Times, Coogler admitted that he'd be glad to stay on this franchise for "as long as folks will have me."

"I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to work on these movies, bro. When I got asked to do the first one, it was like a moving train. I thank God every day that I was able to jump on it and meet these people, these actors, and to meet Chadwick during some of the last years of his life. I’ll do it as long as folks will have me. But I think it’s bigger than just me or Joe. Between the first and second movie, we made $2 billion at the box office, which is what matters the most to corporations. So I hope that it continues, man. I hope people are still making movies about Wakanda long after we’re gone."

Coogler is currently shooting his untitled vampire movie starring Michael B. Jordan, and is also producing a number of Disney+ MCU projects, as well as the X-Files reboot.

What do you think? Would you like to see a live-action Black Panther spin-off show with or without Ryan Coogler's involvement Drop us a comment down below.

They buried this IP by not recasting. Feige choked this one.

@McMurdo - I'd love to see the receipts on how many at the the time said never recast and honor his legacy, even though he himself, Boseman, admitted the character was bigger than him, but now...

Soo until T'Challa kid grows up all the Black Panther projects will be called Wakanda "Something"?

Just make a movie with M'Baku training little T'Challa II and taking him on missions around the world, that would be nice. Maybe they can cross paths with a little Ororo Munroe?

@ImNotaBot - that's the most interesting plot pitch I've read.

...If done right, it could bridge the gap between old and young viewers! I wanna see it now...

Garbage. All this dancing around Black Panther himself. I don't want to see a World of Wakanda if it's not featuring Black Panther (and I don't mean Shuri).

Wakanda is one of the best corners of the MCU so I'm down for it being further explored. Also hyped for Eyes of Wakanda.

Lets file this under

"No Chance"


How the hell are they going to keep going back to Wakanda without T'challa. Not happening. Feige is done (after cap4, TB) pouring money into these weird spin off projects.

Imo I dont mind spin offs, but they should have recasted. I dont want to speak for the dead, but I dont think bosemen would want T challa shelved. And thats whats happened. He is shelved. He has no projects whatsoever now. Its ridiculous.

Chadwick was a man of the people and he definitely would've wanted T'Challa's story to continue. I understand the fans and the rest of the world mourning his passing, it took us all by surprised, but selfishly cancelling a character that has had a existing presence in Marvel for YEARS with many adventures and many more left to be explored in live action wasn't out of respect. It was out of fear. And it lead us to have the half n half that was "Wakanda Forever" which has now put the BP legacy in even more disarray. Now they essentially want to expand the franchise with nothing to stand on??

All out of fear.


To Disney,

@TheRogue - wait what years of training? Isnt she suppose to be 16 or 17. Shes already smarter than tony stark now shes more powerful than T’Challa before 21

@Godhercules20 - not a fan of the whole corny girl power movement. It’s become excessive af atp. What rights do men have that women dont? They want girl bosses so bad and ironically girl boss Kathleen Kennedy ran starwars into the ground. Im not gonna start

It’s amazing to me how some people on this site still don’t get it..

Trust me i was on the recast T’Challa train however I then put myself in the shoes of the cast & crew , many of whom were close with Chadwick so to turn around so soon after his death and just recast the role like it was nothing or that anyone could bring what he brought to it would be disrespectful.

I honestly think they went with the best route with the unfortunate circumstances they had to deal with by having Shuri become BP for the foreseeable future (which is from the comics) but then introduce T’Challa’s son who has the same name as him as the likely future successor and a new version of the character that wouldn’t have to be beholden to Chadwick’s culturally iconic take.

@TheVisionary25 - How do people not understand that of course it sucks that T'Challa isn't present. It allows the audience to feel the same way the people of Wakanda do. Recasting would have been 100% the wrong choice.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/19/2024, 6:59 PM
@cubrn - yeah

I’m hindsight , it allows us to be with those characters as they grieve and try to move on which is and can be a powerful story
Vigor
Vigor - 8/19/2024, 7:23 PM
@TheVisionary25 - agree with you completely. And this show would allow us to see tchalla grow up to one day become Wakandas future protector

People have no imagination
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/19/2024, 7:29 PM
@Vigor - that would be cool if we see him grow up and come into being a hero

@TheVisionary25 - You're probably one of the most sensible users on here but you're right. What's wrong with one movie being used to explore grief? Especially when it's fantastic.

Interesting if true…

I’ll wait & see for now but Wakanda is one of , if not the most interesting “world” in the MCU so I would be down to explore it more aswell as the various characters that inhabit it.

However even though i like Shuri in the BP role , I still feel Chadwick & T’Challa’s lack of presence…

We miss you Chadwick , RIP.

Why the [frick] are these [foo foo]s keep doing all these stupid shows. Stop wasting money on bull shit and recast T Challa and give us Black Panther 3. For [frick]s sake.

No one will watch any [frick]ing show without him.

@Izaizaiza - Bet Feige feels the same. The Multiverse Saga didn't resonate as much as he thought it would and apparently there can't be mutants without a reset.
