Just a small thought I had after seeing Infinity War. Terrific movie, first off. But then I realized. In the Chitauri Invasion article, it's mentioned that Thanos learned about the Tesseract's location by interrogating Loki, but looking closely, there doesn't seem to be anything in the actual franchise material that confirms that. So unless that's proven true, we can assume that Thanos already knew about the Tesseract's location and had already been planning to send the Chitauri to Earth and reclaim it.

So, if Loki had never been sucked into that wormhole back in Thor and thus never met Thanos, would he have sent somebody to get the Tesseract in Loki's place? Like a member of the Black Order? Or even Nebula or Gamora, since they would have still been with him at the time?
