Wakanda was established on a meteor of vibranium, so my thought is, since the Infinity Stones are from space, the soul stone could have been in the vibranium meteor and found by what would become the royal family of Wakanda. And that would be how they talk to their ancestors.

Kevin Feige said that Black Panther is a geo-political action adventure movie about family and ties into the next Avengers films. The whole first part of the discription makes sense and sounds cool, but I don't see how that would be a "very important" link to Infinity War without an Infinity Stone involved.

Plus the one question I have about the soul stone being in Thor: Ragnorok is, what would the Asgardians do with it once they have it? They've said they don't want two Infinity Stones together when they sent the Aether to the Collector. They obviously wouldn't keep it on Asgard, and they wouldn't give it to the Collector because he already has one. If they have contact with Xandar they would know they have one. And I don't see them leaving it on Earth.

If it was in Wakanda, I think it makes more sense. Earth has a history of having multiple Infinity Stones on it. The space stone from ancient times-2012, the mind stone from 2012-2018 or 2019, the time stone has been kept by the Ancient One and the sorcerers probably for years- at least 2016, the reality stone was also on Earth for a short time. Also, Earth doesn't have a one stone policy like Asgard.

Although I could be wrong. There was an image released of Thor holding Doctor Strange's address card. So he could have the soul stone and take it to Strange, as part of his investigation he started in Age of Ultron. On the other hand, that would be two stones in one place again (assuming Strange still has the time stone and Thor has the soul stone). So I still think Black Panther makes more sense than Thor: Ragnorok.
