There have been numerous fan theories regarding the location of the Infinity Stone that has not yet been revealed - the Soul Stone - and most of them all agree on one thing; its location begins with an "H".

That's in order to fulfil the "T.H.A.N.O.S" theory, which refers to the fact that each of the five stones that have been revealed thus far have had locations that start with letters "T", "A", "N", "O", and "S" (e.g. "N" is Doctor Strange's necklace, the Eye Of Agamotto), leaving the letter "H" for the final stone.

And one object that nobody has really mentioned yet is Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Redditor hootanahalf thinks that this is where the Soul Stone resides, since the hammer does behave like it has a mind (or soul) of its own, combined with the way that it assesses the purity of other souls in order to determine who is worthy to lift it.

Additionally, Thor will be without his famous hammer at the start of Thor: Ragnarok, choosing to sport two swords instead.

This could mean that Marvel are getting us used to a hammer-less God of Thunder, since it would have to be destroyed in order to retrieve the stone that's hidden inside - and maybe this will even happen in the upcoming threequel.
