How would Tony Stark have gotten the time stone? Why would he need it to power Ultron? Why does Avengers 2 need to introduce a new stone?

"Civil War" refers to the present-day conflict between superheroes over registration with the government. Stark and Cap will end up on opposite sides of that conflict after what happens in Avengers 2. Not the 1861-1865 conflict between the Union and the Confederacy. But that would be an interesting Captain America storyline.

I have a suspicion the time stone will be revealed in Captain Marvel, but I've no idea yet what it could be. I suppose it's unlikely to be anything else we're familiar with as the Tesseract is the only stone to also be something else from the comics. The Aether, the Orb, and the Scepter (if it is indeed a stone) are entirely new.
