15 Biggest Questions Still Left By 2018 Movies

11. How Will They Replace The Heart-Shaped Herb? - Black Panther

The heart-shaped herb that only grows in Wakanda is crucial to the Black Panther, since it's the source from which the person taking on the mantle draws their powers.

The problem, then, the special garden that houses the plant is burned at the behest of Killmonger during the events of Black Panther, effectively wiping out all future Black Panthers after T'Challa.

So, how will Wakanda, and the Black Panther legacy, be able to live on? There are a couple of potential ways around this for Marvel, given Wakanda is the most technologically advanced country on Earth, and also it remains unclear if the garden that was destroyed was the only source of the herb. That'll most likely have to wait until Black Panther 2 to be addressed, though, but given it's important to Wakanda's heritage, it does need a proper answer.
