Disney+ Puts Eyes of Wakanda at Head of MCU Timeline

A quiet August 1 update reshuffled Disney+’s timeline to place the new series at the forefront of the MCU’s expanded chronological order.

Overview

  • Disney+ quietly updated its interface on August 1 to elevate Eyes of Wakanda above Captain America: The First Avenger in the official Timeline Order.
  • Set across multiple eras from 1260 B.C. to 1896 A.D., the animated series now represents the oldest entry in the MCU’s Sacred Timeline.
  • Marvel Studios confirms that Eyes of Wakanda, created by Todd Harris under its Animation banner, is fully canonical to the cinematic universe.
  • The timeline shift coincides with Phase Six’s launch by The Fantastic Four: First Steps and sets the stage for upcoming films Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday.
  • The subdued rollout highlights Marvel’s strategy of implementing major franchise changes through platform updates rather than high-profile announcements.
