MCU: 10 Most Paused Moments

10. The Infinity Gauntlet - Thor

Long before Thanos was snapping half of the universe out of existence in Avengers: Infinity War, the Mad Titan's weapon of choice was cheekily hinted at in one of the earliest MCU entries.

During a scene in 2011's Thor, involving some Frost Giants attempting to steal the Casket of Ancient Winters, fans were given a tour of Odin's vault on Asgard. It was here where we spotted a number of mysterious artefacts. However, one rather vital weapon seemed to initially pass us by in an instant.

As the Frost Giants are incinerated by The Destroyer in the vault, the mighty Infinity Gauntlet, equipped with all six Infinity stones, can be spotted for a split second before they meet their explosive end.

Of course, this particular gauntlet would eventually be explained away as nothing more than a fake in Thor: Ragnarok during Hela's wander through the very same vault. But, this subtle moment, when paused and appreciated, was clearly dropped into the flick to tease what would eventually become one of the most important events/storylines in the MCU and Marvel history as a whole.
