Black Panther Wakanda Forever Easter Eggs
Shuri is praying to Bast to help her heal her brother. She is trying to create a synthetic heart shaped herb.
During the funeral, there is a mural to T'Challa on the street that reads: “The King lives and the panther… forever in us.” As T'Challa explained. Wakandans believe death is not the end but simply a stepping off point into something new.

Anderson Cooper is shown during a news broadcast. As he is talking, the news ticker reads: Scott Lang continues tour in support of autobiography “Look Out For The Little Guy.” This could be a clue as to what Scott is up to at the beginning on Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania.
As Okoye flies Queen Ramonda back to Wakanda, she says “My Queen, we are home.” This is the same sentence she uses in the original film with T'Challa, replacing King with Queen.
Shuri is working on new suits and has an A.I. Queen Ramonda is not a fan of the AI and Okoye doesn't like the suits. Shuri has given up on the herb and thinks Black Panther is a relic.
The new suits resemble the Midnight Angel Suits. The Midnight Angels are a strike-force composed of the best of the Dora Milaje.
