Black Panther
There are sixInfinity Stones in the Marvel Cinematic Universeand the location of one , the Soul Gem , remains unknown . Some rooter speculation and intriguing theories offered several neat idea for how the Soul Stone could be introduced inThor : Ragnarokbut it was n’t and the Taika Waititi directed adventure is as standalone as promised . Over the grade of 11 age and 22 movies , the Infinity Stones will have served as the MacGuffins of the MCU , the bind gum that add all of the stories - and the ultimate scoundrel of them all - together , leading to the enfranchisement ’s conclusion in the untitledAvengers 4 in May 2019 . Or at least , it ’s the stopping point of the MCU as we cognise it , the " windup " of all the movies to have liberate so far to take the word from Marvel Studios knob Kevin Feige who orchestrated the whole world .

Before Marvel Studios enwrap up the three ' Phases ' ( let ’s call the whole matter intensity 1 ) the last Infinity Stone must be introduced , must get some variety of taradiddle wrap up around it , and must be collected by the large sorry villain Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) and placed with the other five Stones into the Infinity Gauntlet - the mighty golden glove that houses all six rock - so we can see Thanos use it to wreak mayhem upon the universe of discourse .
Thor : Ragnarokis the 17th feature plastic film by Marvel Studios , leaving five other movies still to come before the party wraps up . There are therefore a options for where the Soul Stone may be :
However , given the nature ofAvengers : Infinity War , it ’s a sure thing that the Infinity Gauntlet will be used in this film next year by Thanos . That means the Soul Stonemustbe introduced in the next few months . It would be unearthly and almost gaudy from a storytelling point of view for it to just briefly get introduce inAvengers 3 , so it ’s a safe assumptionBlack Pantheris where the last piece of the puzzle remains .
So , throw thoseThor : Ragnaroktheories about Hela ( Cate Blanchett ) induce the Soul Stone , or it being inOdin ’s Eye , or Heimdall having it as his own source of mightiness , in the trash . The Soul Stone is in Wakanda , the secretive , isolated fictional nation in Africa where Black Panther reigns , and it makes a lot of sense when you give it down .
Update : The first official Avengers : Infinity War preview apparently confirms this theory !
A major part of the Black Panther title , a drape passed down through generations , and the culture of Wakanda is the spirituality of its hoi polloi , specifically their connection with tradition and the utter . Its Necropolis , the " City of the Dead " where Black Panthers go to die and where they reap their big businessman and knowledge from their root is at the center of this . Necropolis will absolutely be a part of the MCU yield its crucial grandness to the character , and it was alluded to with T’Challa ’s pick words inCaptain America : Civil Warwhen he address with Black Widow about his father ’s expiry .
unite that with the realness that Wakanda is the most technologically sophisticated nation on Earth , and the only place on the satellite where the nearly indestructible alloy recognize as Vibranium is found ( the material Captain America ’s shield is made of ) , and it ’s gentle to piece together how all of these things can link to an Infinity Stone .
In Marvel Comics , Vibranium establish its agency to Wakanda from blank via a meteor and from the imagery in theBlack Panthermovie trailers , we suspect Marvel Studios is honoring the comedian in a big way here . understandably , Vibranium- an unusual unearthly alloy - is at the source of Wakanda ’s tech , but if it came via meteor , and if Wakanda is capable to research another realm or dimension to communicate with the idle , we surmise that meteor get with it the Soul Stone .
On one bridge player , it ’s obvious and Kevin say in 2015 thatBlack Pantherhelps setupInfinity War . On the other hand , why are so many of these Infinity Stones finding their way to Earth ? What ’s so special about our planet in a very populated galaxy ? And what if it really is n’t inBlack Pantherand Thanos already has it or knows where it is ?
