MOSI: The First Black Panther (2025)

MOSI: The First Black Panther (2025) emerges as a groundbreaking animated MCU epic on Disney+, teased within the Eyes of Wakanda series premiering August 6, 2025, produced by Ryan Coogler and directed by Todd Harris.
Set in 1,000,000 B.C., it stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Mosi, the prehistoric Wakandan who becomes the first to survive the Heart-Shaped Herb, blessed by the panther goddess Bast (voiced by Angela Bassett). When cosmic rifts from the Mena Ngai vibranium meteor unleash the Brood—alien horrors—onto Earth, Mosi joins the Stone Age Avengers: Odin (Chris Hemsworth), Phoenix (Danai Gurira), and Agamotto (Oscar Isaac).
Wielding Bast’s power and later Mjolnir, he battles to seal a fallen Celestial beneath Africa, forging Wakanda’s legacy before his death against Laufey’s frost giants. The teaser hints at a mythic clash narrated by T’Challa (archival Chadwick Boseman), linking past to present.
This Marvel Animation venture promises to expand the Black Panther mythos with primal splendor—think Mosi slashing Brood in a vibranium-lit rift, a thunderous duel with Odin under a meteor shower, and a sacrificial stand against the Celestial’s cosmic tendrils.Abdul-Mateen’s gravelly ferocity embodies Mosi’s noble savagery, Bassett’s Bast purrs with divine weight, and Boseman’s voice ties it to the MCU’s heart (The Hollywood Reporter, December 2024, teased “a prehistoric epic”).
The visuals dazzle—hand-drawn jungles pulsing with neon anomalies, warriors inked in bold lines—all backed by Ludwig Göransson’s score of primal drums and ethereal chants. MOSI: The First Black Panther is a thrilling, ancient odyssey, birthing a legend that echoes through Wakanda’s ages.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (9/10)
🔥 A mythic, pulse-pounding continuation that delivers primal action, a cosmic birth of heroism, and Mosi’s indelible mark on the MCU.
