Axis Studios Bankruptcy Puts Marvel’s ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ in Limbo as Black Panther Plans Shift

Administrator filings blame industry downturns and strike delays for Axis’s collapse.

Overview

  • Axis Studios, the Scotland-based animator behind Disney+’s Eyes of Wakanda, has entered insolvency according to administrator reports cited by Forbes.
  • Season one was completed and premiered before the collapse, but any continuation now depends on Marvel and Disney securing a new animation partner.
  • Filings attribute the failure to a post‑pandemic drop in commissions, heavy reliance on video‑game clients, inflation, and schedule disruptions from the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
  • Marvel keeps Black Panther 3 on its slate with a projected 2028 window, though the project remains in early development.
  • Reported creative options under discussion include reintroducing T’Challa via the Multiverse or elevating Toussaint, yet producers say no casting or storyline decisions are confirmed, and the animated series’ teased tie-ins leave future connections uncertain.
