Black Panther: 11 Implications For Infinity War

8. The Soul Stone

Despite many fans expecting Black Panther to introduce audiences to the Soul Stone, which Thanos is presumably going to be chasing in Infinity War, there were absolutely zero allusions made to its existence in the film.

However, this might actually be saying more about Infinity War than you think. Could this be suggesting that the Wakandans themselves are unaware that they're sitting on the Soul Stone, buried somewhere in the mound of Vibranium that effectively powers their country?

Considering it'd seem pretty out-of-nowhere for the Soul Stone to be suddenly introduced as a known quantity in Wakanda after getting no screen time at all in Black Panther, it sitting right under their noses the whole time makes a whole lot more sense.
