Avengers: Infinity War Trailer - 12 Huge Questions We're Left With

2. Will Thanos Complete The Gauntlet?

In the trailer we witness Thanos take possession of the Space Stone from Loki, and when he adds the gem to the Gauntlet it slots in next to the Power Stone, which he must take from Xandar either off-screen or at the very start of the movie. Either way, it means he has two stones, and is 1/3 of the way to completing the Gauntlet.

Even with just those two he's insanely powerful and looks difficult for the Avengers to stop, but obviously the whole point is he wants to collect them all and dominate the universe. The Avengers, meanwhile, need to stop him.

From its whereabouts, we can safely assume he gets his hands on the Reality Stone too (and likely kills the Collector while he's at it), but the others won't be so easy. The Mind Stone is in Vision, Doctor Strange has the Time Stone, and the Soul Stone appears to be somewhere on Wakanda. This is a two movie event, even if it isn't Parts 1 & 2, so you'd assume Thanos completes the Gauntlet, but will it actually happen in Infinity War?
