To me, it sounds like the Russo brothers want to focus on the characters in Infinity War. They have about 68 characters to work on and Thanos is supposed to get more screen time. I would think they would introduce it before Infinity War so they could work on the characters and not introduce a new stone.

I still believe it will be in Black Panther.

I'm interested in what your thoughts are on it being in Ragnarok. Where does the Stone start out? Where will it be by the end of the movie? You can't make a movie just around getting 68 character to meet each other. They will probably not be in the same movie for instance.

I think that the Soul Stone is somewhere in outer space. One of the theory about the SS is that Heimdall is its keeper, and he get his power from it (that will explain his bright orange eyes, and will match the "H" (Heimdall) of the alleged "THANOS" spelled from all the stones).

Plus, a movie about the Goddess of Death sounds to me a good fit for a stone who controls souls, definitevely more than a political thriller like Black Panther. I know it’s been a while since you posted this, but I just recently found information which helps my Black Panther theory.

First, I agree that Hela being the Goddess of Death makes sense for the Soul Stone. However, Black Panther also holds the title of King of the Dead. As King of the Dead, during an issue of Secret Wars, he summoned an army of zombies. So, given his abilities to communicate with spirits and summon zombies, I definitely think he could have the Soul Stone.

I also found an interesting quote about Necropolis, the Wakandan city of the dead.

“In Necropolis. The Wakandan City of the dead...where Black Panthers go to die. And where you will rule. As king of the dead. Every Panther that has ever lived, their strength, their knowledge is now yours. Every battle fought...every battle won. Unbeaten. Unbroken. A crown of the unconquered. A king of kings. My champion. My Black Panther.”

-- Panther Goddess

So my theory is that the Soul Stone is kept in Necropolis. The quote also mentions that Black Panther will receive the knowledge and strength of the previous Panthers. One of the abilities of the Soul Gem is to give its wielder the memories and skills of souls it possesses.

As for the T.H.A.N.O.S. theory, I’m still not entirely sold on it, but I did find 2 things the Soul Stone could be associated with that start with the letter H. Admittedly these are stretches.

The first is the Heart-Shaped Herb. This plant gives the users enhanced abilities due to being mutated by the vibranium meteor. According to my theory, the Soul Stone was in the meteor. So I think the plant could be from the Soul Stone. In the comics, the Hulk went to K'ai and threw the Soul Gem into the planet’s core, causing the planet to become a garden again. So the Soul Gem is known to cause plants to grow.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;font-family: "TimesNewRoman",serif">The second idea I had was the Heart of Ammon Ra. Now, I couldn’t really find too much information on what the heart was. To me, it seems like it was a Wakandan legend. The heart was supposedly dropped down a well in Necropolis. So the Heart of Ammon Ra could be what they call the Soul Stone, and it’s located in the city of the dead. Or maybe they could change it to be the Heart of the Panther Goddess, that way it is more connected to the Black Panther Cult and would make sense why the Black Panthers give the stone their souls.
