Promotional materials for Avengers: Infinity War depict Thanos with the complete set of Infinity Stones in his trademark gauntlet, and that could spell a number of far-reaching consequences for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With all of the gems in his possession, the Mad Titan would have the power to remake reality however he sees fit, and according to one theory, that means a familiar face or two will be cropping up in the movie and possibly its sequel.

The Soul stone has the ability to raise the dead and some fans believe Thanos will call on it to revive fallen villains such as Red Skull, Iron Monger and Malekith.

If the Mad Titan is looking for some extra firepower to take down Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and their numerous allies, he could do far worse than enlisting the services of their arch-enemies in the final battle.

Since characters rarely stay dead in comics, a wave of resurrections isn't completely out of the question, but would Infinity War have enough screen time to accommodate these returning villains, given that it's already packed to the rafters?
