Firstly, we all should be working for the Marvel Cinematic Universe in it's continuity program( hint hint for any of the staff members viewing these threads ).

If the cocoon in the Collector's museum will ultimately be Adam Warlock then I think it is more likely the Aether stone should be the Soul gem. Especially since it seeks out the "life" force of a host body. In ancient mystic egyptian teachings ether( MCU=aether) is the gaseous form of the living soul. Also in the comics the soul gem turned red when in possession of the Gardener suggesting that it changes color based on it's possessor's true nature. The reality gem is very complex and seems more fitted for the Dr. Strange movie. Kang does seem like the most likely villain later on with the time gem but only "time will tell." The confirmed space,mind and power gems so far make sense. As far as future villians after Thanos I can see a Celestial,the Stranger or the Grandmaster.
