The closing scenes of 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok returned the magical stone into the hands of Loki, who swiped it from Asgard – and considering he was captured by Thanos (along with his brother and the Hulk), it’s possibly in the hands of the purple-skinned bad guy now. Thor eventually took the Tesseract back to his homeland of Asgard for safekeeping, but we also learned that Thanos had been behind Loki’s plan all along. ![]() The government agency spent years exploring the stone’s potential as an unlimited power source – making the Captain pretty angry – until it was stolen by Loki who used it to open a portal unleashing alien hell on New York City.

Having embedded clues and dropped narrative breadcrumbs for this storyline over the past 10 years of Marvel Cinematic Universe blockbusters, this all-out battle between cosmic deathmonger Thanos and virtually every single superhero that the franchise has brought into the fold – Spider-Man! Black Panther! A smell-like-teen-spirit Groot! – assembles the group for one gigantic winner-take-all fight over the fate of the entire universe.īut lets say that, after sitting through so many of these adventures, you’ve forgotten which Infinity Stone is which. It’s being billed as “the biggest crossover event of all time” – and even if that phrase ends up being little more than the inspiration behind some genius memes, it’s safe to assume that Avengers: Infinity War is going to be big. ![]()
