***Be warned this contains some minor spoilers for Black Panther.***

The long-awaited Marvel Studios film, Black Panther has finally been released and has been met with universal praise as it smashes records. But now the studio has shifted gears to its next entry in the MCU, Avenges: Infinity War. The penultimate film will see the Mad Titan Thanos on the search for the Infinity Stones as he looks to conquer the universe. And with five of the six stones already revealed in the MCU many thought that Black Panther would reveal the final stone, but as we know this wasn’t the case.

Many fans had come to belive we would see the Soul Stone be revealed to be located in Wakanda, but there was no mention or sight of it during the film. This revelation has been met with much confusion from fans, and it is now been addressed by the film’s director, Ryan Coogler. The director recently sat down in an interview with IGN to discuss the Infinity Stones,

“I love the Infinity Stones as much as any comic book fan, it’s just Wakanda already has its thing, which is Vibranium. For us, that was special enough, so to throw in something like another special thing didn’t feel right. It felt like we should stick with our one MacGuffin for the country and explore that, let that be the important thing because, frankly we didn’t need to have another piece like that.”

And Coogler elaborated that Marvel Studios supported this decision,

“Marvel Studios never really was interested in putting a stone in there, either.”

The stone was never meant to be in the film which will definitely be a disappointment for many fans. But it is very exciting as it opens up a world of questioning for where we will see the stone show up in Infinity War.
