Interesting.I just came across this for the first time while looking up the infinity stones after watching GOTG. I think the sceptre is the mind gem and that would be one of the four already seen in the movies. Since HYDRA currently possesses it, I would think it would appear again either in Avengers 2 (temporarily because Ultron is the main big bad) but Captain America 3 would be a greater outlet to exploit its uses the same way the aether/reality stone was utilized in Thor 2. Maybe even as a way to introduce MODOK.

In any case, the sceptre has to be recovered by Thanos is Avengers 3 will include Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet.

Assuming it is the mind gem, that would leave Time and Soul left. GOTG 2 can introduce Warlock san cocoon and the Soul Gem/Stone. Wishful thinking, but still something worth hoping for.
