Predicting 10 Ways Upcoming Marvel Movies Could Tie Into Infinity War

6. The Soul Stone

Over the course of the MCU’s history, we’ve periodically been introduced to the Infinity Stones – magical stones of massive power that Thanos famously uses to power his Infinity Gauntlet.

So far, we’ve stumbled across five of these stones that represent space, time, mind, reality and power, which would make sense right? After all there are five fingers on the gauntlet itself and five stones.

Thanos scoffs at your pathetic human logic.

No, there is in fact one more stone floating out there somewhere in the MCU – the Soul Stone. Granting power over life and death, this is one of the more powerful tools in Thanos’ arsenal, so it makes sense Marvel would save the best for last. Allowing Thanos to manipulate the souls of the living and dead as well as steal the powers of others, you might wonder where this ridiculously overpowered relic has been hiding all these years, and there are a few possibilities.

Both Doctor Strange and Nebula have come into possession of the stone in the comics, as has Loki, but given the powers the stone grants it seems very fitting that the stone is currently in the possession of Hela, who is literally the Asgardian personification of death. Or it could be with Heimdall, according to one theory.
