The Question: After Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) becomes the King of Wakanda and orders the country's entire Heart-Shaped Herb crop to be burned down, is there any way for the Wakandan people to re-grow them? Or are they gone for good?

The Likely Answer: The key here is probably in Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) stealing one of the Herbs to help bring T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) back to life. Perhaps the Herb mix that was fed to T'Challa contains seedlings that can be used to plant more Herbs, and if she held even a few back, then the Herbs could be re-cultivated in the future.

It'd be a strange move to gimp T'Challa's powers from this point out, so even if they're gone temporarily, expect a solution to exist by the time Avengers: Infinity War rolls around.
