Hey Y'all, This is a well researched, thought out and up to date thread about the current state of the infinity stones within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I will discuss each stone and list some facts and theories. Let me know what you think.

Ok first up is "The Space Stone" aka "The Tesseract". This has been confirmed by Kevin Feige himself. We saw it first in the post credits scene of Thor. Then it was a major factor of Captain America: The First Avenger. But we didnt see its real potential until it opened the portal in The Avengers. We werent even aware of the infinity stones being introduced in the movies at that time. But from what we saw, it makes sense that it would indeed fall into the Space stone category. The Tesseract is now currently being held in Odin's Vault on Asgard.

Next up is "The Reality Stone" aka "The Aether". Now when the Aether was first introduced we believed it to be the Power Stone (which now confirmed that the Orb in Guardians of the Galaxy is the Power Stone) but now we can rule that out. The only stone it makes sense for it to be is Reality. Now if you read the comic story Thanos Quest, you'll know that when he first received the stone, he retreived it from The Collector, who is now currently in possession of the Aether. Also it is important to note that in the comics Thanos used the reality gem to extinguish the universes stars, which is basically what Malekith was trying to do the entire Thor 2 movie. While not confirmed, you can place a safe bet that this is the Reality Stone.

Next is "The Power Stone" aka "The Orb". This has been confirmed to be the Golden Sphere we saw in the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer to be the Power Stone by Kevin Feige. Not much else is known at this time as to its powers and where the story will go from here.

Ok this is part is the most rumored stone to date, which makes complete sense if you look at the facts. Im of course talking about "The Mind Stone" aka "Loki's Scepter". Now aside from the obvious of when Loki touches people with the scepter they are essentially slaved to him. I can give you a few other examples of how this makes too much sense. Firstly, when Loki was in Stutgart during the Avengers, he yells to a crowd to kneel, and they ignore him in panic, he slams the scepter down, the gem flashes and the entire crowd kneels. Secondly while the Avengers are arguing and fighting on the helicarrier, the camera pans around to the stone obviously hinting at its power. Also at the end credits of Captain America Winter Soldier, they discuss the scepter, it makes it pretty known that they will control Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and my theory is they will control the Hulk too, which is why Iron Man can be seen fighting the Hulk in the concept art for the movie.

So that leads me to "The Time Stone". Nothing is known about when and where this will show up. My current theory is perhaps in Ant-Man. We know hes trying to steal something of great value. Also it involves an old Hank Pym and Scott Lang, so could we perhaps see some time travel to where they meet or interact. Only time will tell how they introduce this stone.

Lastly we have "The Soul Stone". We also havent seen anything on this stone yet. However it is widely associated with Dr. Strange, and as we know there is plans for that movie in production. So will we see the stone there, my thought is most likely. Some people believe it could be the Eye of Agamotto seen previously in Odins Vault in Thor, but as Sif and Volstagg said, the Tesseract is in the vault and keeping more than one stone in one location isnt wise. So either they moved the Eye or its something we havent seen yet.

Anyway that concludes my first thread ive ever posted. Please feel free to give me any questions or comments below. Or if you have any theories of your own.
