“Guardians of the Galaxy's” purple Power Stone has the power to destroy all organic life on a planet. The red Reality Stone, which appeared in “Thor: The Dark World,” was given to the Collector for safekeeping its power is unclear. Seen in both “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “The Avengers," the blue Space Stone was used for teleportation by the Red Skull and Loki, but now resides in Asgaard. The lead up to “Infinity War” has been long, and four of the six Infinity Stones have made appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Vexed at the outcome, the villain's henchman said that dealing with the Avengers would be “courting death itself” - a throwaway line that was in fact full of meaning and thrilled fans of the character. The MCU's Thanos first appeared at the end of Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers” in 2012, where it was revealed that he was the true mastermind behind the failed Chitauri invasion of Earth. While neither of these characters currently feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, astute fans have pointed out that Warlock’s cocoon was on display in a glass case owned by the Collector in “Guardians of the Galaxy.” It is unclear at this time if either of them will appear in the film. In the comics, "Infinity War" pits Adam Warlock against Magus. Thanos will take on the Guardians of the Galaxy as well as the titular Avengers. While the film will retain the main villain and storyline of the comic book event, the heroes will change.

AVENGERS INFINITY WAR PLOT SERIES
You can be sure that those speculations will ensure that the universe of Marvel will, like ours, continue to expand whether you like it or not.Since Marvel Studios has been hinting at this for the last four years, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have long suspected that Thanos and his iconic Infinity Gauntlet will feature in 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War.” Today, LRM Online claims to have acquired a plot synopsis that confirms these details - and more.Īccording to LRM, "Infinity War" will "start with the exact premise of the ‘Infinity Gauntlet’ comic book crossover series as opposed to the actual ‘Infinity War’ storyline.” The film will feature Thanos collecting the six Infinity Stones and wielding the Infinity Gauntlet - which gives him godlike powers - in an effort to woo the living personification of Death, who has taken the form of a woman. You'd be wrong, though, as the inevitable post-credit teaser appears, opening the door to millions of internet discussions about where and what and who will be next to be given the now annoyingly unsatisfying and predictable page-to-screen treatment. At some inevitable stage the adolescent desire for a big "skop, skiet en donder" moment overpowers everything else and results in messy action that sweeps away all the hard character work.īy the time the downbeat ending arrives and the credits roll for long enough to allow the 30-plus actors to have their recognition, you might breathe a sigh of relief thinking that perhaps there will be fewer but more considered Marvel films in future. Several of Marvel's Netflix series suffer from a similar affliction, even though those have the luxury of time to unwind their stories. It's certainly better conceived than rival DC's recent multi-character attempts Suicide Squad and Justice League, but the Avengers reveals the limits of attempting to smash the multi-stranded, long-running narratives of its source material into an exhausting two-and-a-half hours of screen time.
