So with three months to go until Avengers: Infinity War, unquestionably Marvel’s biggest movie yet, the question remains, just what’s going on with the Soul Stone?
The Avengers established that Thanos would be the overarching antagonist of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it wasn’t until Thor: The Dark World confirmed that the objects that his comic book counterpart craves, the Infinity Stones, also exist in this continuity.
As of Doctor Strange, five Infinity Stones are accounted for, leaving the Soul Stone as the only one of these ancient, powerful artifacts that hasn’t been officially introduced yet.
Well, T’Challa’s standalone movie finally hit theaters this weekend, and while it’s established itself as a critical and commercial powerhouse, one thing it does lack is an Infinity Stone.
