8 Burning Questions We Have After Watching Black Panther

Where IS The Soul Stone?

As the final MCU movie to arrive before Avengers: Infinity War, fans were going into Black Panther confidently expecting there to be some sort of revelation about the last Infinity Stone that needs to be located: the Soul Stone. In the trailers for the ensemble movie, for instance, we’ve seen that much of the plot will take place in Wakanda. Which kind of suggests that there will be something that’s of interest to Thanos hidden in the country.

As it was, though, Black Panther left us none the wiser to where the Soul Stone is. However, it’s still very possible that it’s hidden in Wakanda somewhere. The obvious suggestion is that it came down with the vibranium meteorite and is the reason why it’s so powerful. It’s also worth mentioning that the colour of the dust T’Challa is buried in when he enters the realm of his ancestors is orange – the colour of the Soul Stone. And what could suggest the Soul Stone’s influence more than encountering the spirits of dead loved ones?

The real clincher, though, is the common fan theory that the Infinity Stone locations spell out Thanos’ name. For instance, T for Tesseract (Space Stone), A for Aether (Reality Stone), N for Necklace (Time Stone), O for Orb (Power Stone) and S for Scepter (Mind Stone). Could the H stand for Heart-shaped Herb?

Of course, we could be way off-track here, but thankfully, we don’t have long to wait before we find out, as Infinity War arrives in theaters in May. And hopefully it’s every bit as good as Black Panther.
