Wakanda on Disney+

[Palanan]

News (https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/ryan-coogler-wakanda-tv-series-disney-industry/) is that Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther, has a deal to produce a series set in Wakanda for Disney+.

No information on what the series will be about, but presumably it'll be a further extension of whatever he has planned for BP2. I'm hoping for a deeper exploration of each of the five tribes, and the inter-tribal politics that must be going on while the Black Panther is punching villains.

I'm all in. I was totally mesmerized by the land of Wakanda and would love to see more of it.

[Palanan]

I'm definitely looking forward to it. I wasn't completely mesmerized by Wakanda, but I did like what we saw, and I'd love to know more.

Wakanda has several different biomes to explore--dense rainforest, high mountains, semiarid highlands and savanna--with some very distinctive cultures to match. Apart from exploring those cultures, I'd like to know if the capital city is the only city, or if they have other urban areas hidden elsewhere in their territory.

Also, I want to see their launch facilities. In Civil War, there was a brief mention of Wakandan satellites, so they have at least one launch pad.

It's going to be a vibranium slingshot.

Something is wrong with my brain tonight, given what this thread was next to I kept reading it as "WakandaVision".

It shouldn't be a surprise given what an unexpected success Black Panther was. A lot of different ways they could go with this. Looking forward to it.

Guaranteed the first episode will have that 1st Starbucks opening.

I hope it explains why they forgot to bring any armored battle rhinos to the fight with Thanos.

Ha! Probably so.

Now I'm wondering if there will be a non-Wakandan character to be chaperoned around, perhaps a European or American who's rather skeptical about what this little backwater place is all about. After all, that Starbucks will probably have an outside manager to explain their procedures, etc.

Also looking forward to Shuri inventing a better coffee machine. :smalltongue:

Put that way, I’d rather see it as an Elder Scrolls style RPG than a TV show.

Second this. The lack of war rhinos was probably my biggest disappointment with Infinity War. :smallfrown:

Probably they were all injured or killed in the brief civil war with Killmonger, and in no shape to fight hordes of alien monstrosities.

I’m happy with the TV show. If done right, they can flesh out the politics and the lore of Wakanda, while also giving us a look at how Wakanda begins to interact with the rest of the world.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we have main stories in Wakanda alternating with the new embassy in Oakland, if not locations around the globe. There are still wardogs and other agents all around the world, so while most of the show will probably take place within Wakanda, there’s the potential for international action as well.

I prefer to think it was an intentional choice to not involve themselves. "You bipeds got yourselves into this, you get yourselves out of it." (And maybe a side dish of "A lot fewer people around wouldn't always be a bad thing...")

Hssst. Clertar. Wrong thread. You’re looking for WandaVision.

I’m kind of wondering how much of the Black Panther cast will make it into the TV show, because aren’t they still doing a Black Panther 2? That might cut in to who they can use and how much.

Is this in response to the rhinos, or the casting?

Or the Aliens! ('cause, you know...the A could be for Aliens, and letting rhinos trample on them is kinda cruel...)

Wakanda S1E1: Rhinos vs. Xenomorphs!
