Avengers: Infinity War Trailer - 8 Most Revealing Shots

3. Vision Loses The Mind Stone

At long last, the Infinity War trailer gave us a glimpse of something we all suspected would happen eventually; Vision having the Mind Stone forcibly removed from his forehead.

This moment is revealing, not because nobody thought Vision would lose the Mind Stone - he was always going to - but because we weren't sure whether or not Marvel would show one of their characters having their life support brutally ripped from their body.

Well, those doubts have been put to rest.

Since Thanos' aim is to gather every single Infinity Stone, Vision has been in danger since the moment he was created. This shot shows him pinned to the ground by Corvus Glaive - or so it seems - Thanos' devoted servant, who's surely been tasked with retrieving the Stone while Thanos attends to other matters.

Of course, we don't actually know if Vision loses the stone or not, since the scene is cut off before we can see its outcome. But there can't be an Infinity War movie without all the Infinity Stones going in the Infinity Gauntlet, so it's not really a spoiler to know that Vision is in serious trouble before we even see the movie.

This scene also raises more questions about that earlier interaction between Wanda and Vision. Does Vision die in this scene, leading to Wanda creating the happy reality we already discussed? Or does the removal of the Mind Stone turn him into a human somehow? So many questions!
