MCU Wakanda Series’ Working Title Hints At A Different Black Panther
The working title for Marvel Studios' upcoming Black Panther series could suggest a new Black Panther will debut in the MCU. A drama series set in Wakanda was announced in February 2021, with Ryan Coogler returning to helm the Disney+ series. While Marvel Studios has also been working on a Disney+ series focusing on Danai Gurira's Okoye, which would detail her backstory in the MCU, there has been no word whether these two Wakandan spinoffs are the same or separate projects.
Speaking to Collider following the release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Marvel Studios producer Nate Moore revealed that the Wakanda series isn't "as far along as people want it to be," but did suggest that there are great ideas being posed to Coogler. Though news on the Wakanda series has been sparse, a recent report from Cosmic Circus has suggested that the series' working title will be "Golden City." This is in reference to the Wakandan capital city, Birnin Zana, the site of the founding of Wakanda, which is otherwise referred to as the Golden City. This could pose an important storyline for the upcoming spinoff.
