Avengers: Infinity War - 13 Big Questions From Everything We Know So Far

11. What's Loki Doing With The Tesseract?

Another interesting reveal from the footage is that Loki once again has his hands on the Tesseract. It's an intriguing development, which fits with bringing the Avengers arc full circle, and it also hints at a renewed alliance between the God of Mischief and the Mad Titan.

Loki originally stole the Tesseract at the behest of Thanos, before it was recaptured and sent back to Asgard, where Heimdall took possession of it. However, the Cube - which contains the Space Stone - did feature in Thor's vision in Age of Ultron, seeing the Tesseract shattered and the Stone sent into space.

Now Loki has it again, what does that really mean, and what does he intend to do with it? Will he simply hand it over to Thanos - who presumably gets it one way or another in the movie anyway - or does he have his own plans for it?

There's also the Thor: Ragnarok trailer to consider: that shows Thor and Loki working side by side, so does that mean it's just a temporary alliance in order to try and save Asgard (or just Loki trying to save himself), or might he actually have the Stone to try and prevent Thanos from getting it?
