Avengers: Infinity War - 11 Things That Definitely Won't Happen

3. The Soul Stone On Wakanda

Where is the Soul Stone? Or, alternatively, what is the Soul Stone?

We've still no idea of what those answers will be, although for a long time now the most widely believed theory has been that it's on Wakanda and powering the country.

The fact it wasn't revealed in Black Panther was a blow to that theory, but hasn't wiped it out completely, and many are still expecting it to be there. But, well, it can't be.

For starters, Vision is going to be spending a good chunk of the movie there, and just so happens to have the Mind Stone lodged in his head. As the post-credits scene of Thor: The Dark World taught us, it's incredibly dangerous to have two Stones close together, and surely someone on Wakanda would know about the Soul Stone being there.

Even if not, though, then there's another reason it won't be on Wakanda. As shown in a TV spot, Thanos already HAS the Soul Stone when he arrives there. If anything, that just makes the mystery of where it is and how he gets it even bigger (though Titan is an interesting theory), but it can't be Wakanda unless it's a massive, deliberate misdirect.
