Avengers: Infinity War - 14 Plot Hints You Might Have Missed

11. Xandar Gets Destroyed

A new "Legacy" TV spot for Infinity War shows a tantalising hint about how the movie might kick off, as it shows Thanos placing the newly-acquired Power Stone (the Orb) in his Infinity Gauntlet and activating it, while the Black Order look on.

It doesn't take a genius to assume that this is on Xandar, where we last saw the Power Stone in the custody of the Nova Corps. One can pretty safely believe that Thanos and his children have wrecked the Nova Corps, but with the Power Stone in his possession, why stop there?

It'd be one hell of a show of strength if the movie opens with Thanos using the Orb to annihilate Xandar completely, wiping out all life on the planet and setting the tone for the rest of the film.
