In an interview with Huffington Post, Jaden Smith said "there are places in the world" where advanced technology exists and "supersedes what we see here on a daily basis."

He didn't name a specific site, but compared such a location to Wakanda, the fictional nation where "Black Panther" takes place.

The actor added that he thinks such equipment has the power to "heal a lot of problems."



Wakanda is a fictional nation in "Black Panther," but Jaden Smith believes that a real-life version exists.

During an interview with Huffington Post, the 20-year-old actor and musician shared his thoughts on several theories, from the existence of aliens to the possibility of time travel. He also said that he thinks a place similar to Marvel's Wakanda is located somewhere on the globe.

"The technology that we're currently at is not the maximum of the human capability," Smith said. "And that there are places in the world where their technology supersedes what we see here on a daily basis."

Smith went on to say that he thinks the people behind such technological advancements should be recognized for their efforts.

"It's made by humans, and it should be acknowledged, and it should be looked at because it could heal a lot of problems."

When asked to clarify if he was referring to a "real-world Wakanda," the young star said yes.

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are more than familiar with Wakanda and the technology showcased in "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Infinity War." Most of the nation's tech is led by Shuri, T'Challa's younger sister with a knack for creating revolutionary equipment. Such inventions include a magnet-powered transportation system, kimoyo beads that have multiple functions, and the Black Panther suit that absorbs kinetic energy. Wakanda is also the only place in the MCU where vibranium — the strongest metal on the planet, and the material that is behind Captain America's shield — can be found.
