Though it would have made all the sense in the world if the sixth and final Infinity Stone—specifically, the Soul Stone—was hidden away in the heart of the vibranium meteorite that crashed into Wakanda, we know that’s not the case. So the Soul Stone’s still out there somewhere in the vast Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But what if it’s been hiding in plain sight this entire time?Now that Marvel’s decided to push Avengers: Infinity War’s theatrical release up by an entire week, the mystery about the Soul Stone’s whereabouts feels that much more pressing, considering that it was neither seen nor even mentioned during Black Panther. All five of the other stones have been accounted for and stashed away for safekeeping around the MCU, meaning the Soul Stone has to appear at some point during Infinity War in what one imagines will be a rather epic reveal.
That’s what makes the theory that the Soul Stone is an entire planet, first proposed over at ScreenRant, so… interesting. While we’ve all assumed that the Soul Stone would be introduced as yet another MacGuffin to be bandied about by heroes and villains, it’s possible that the stone is actually the humongous, orange-hued planet shown to us in the Infinity War trailer. It’s a wild idea, to be sure, but there are enough potential pieces of information in the newest Infinity Wars prelude comic, as well as precedent in Marvel’s comics history, that makes it very, very compelling to consider.
It’s important to remember that Official Movie Prelude comics, despite being “official,” have a history of not being 100 percent in sync with the information eventually included in films.
But the previous Infinity War book did accurately explain how Shuri managed to heal Bucky’s mind, something we see in Black Panther final end credits scene. The second and final Infinity War prelude is essentially a refresher course…The post What If We’ve Been Staring at Avengers: Infinity War’s Missing Soul Stone This Entire Time? appeared first on FeedBox.
