This theory is inspired by an article from the Hollywood reporter.

So the Hollywood Reporter came up with the theory that Sam Neill will be playing the Possessor, a member of the Elders of the Universe. I’ll go in a little more depth a little later.

But, I think this makes sense for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thor goes off to find out what would happen if the Infinity Stones were brought together. The Possessor makes sense because he has a vast library of knowledge from across the universe, so he could have the answer.

Secondly, this is where the Hollywood Reporter’s article comes in, he could have the Soul Stone. The Hollywood Reporter did some research into the Possessor and found that he has the Runestaff, a staff that is capable of manipulating life forces and contains a pocket dimension. They noticed that those characteristics where similar to the Soul Stone.

Now, I thought that was an interesting theory by itself, but then I realized that we might have already seen the Runestaff in one of the movies. In Guardians of the Galaxy, there is a carving of the Cosmic Entities. If you look at Eternity, he appears to have a staff connected to the Soul Stone.

The Space Stone, the first Infinity Stone to appear, was hinted to before it physically appeared. So it would be cool if they hinted at the Soul Stone, the last Infinity Stone to appear.

Let me know what you think.
