Marvel Infinity Stones Explained in New Featurette

The latest Marvel featurette provides insight into the mysterious Infinity stones.

The digital release of Avengers: Age of Ultron is just around the corner and said to be loaded with special features. One of those special features was a featurette released online and provides a detailed explanation of the mysterious Infinity stones that we’ve all been curious about. Take a look at the featurette below.

For many this seems more like a confirmation of theories rather than being entirely informative. It’s definitely a supplemental piece of the puzzle but there are still a few pieces missing; two to be exact. While we (fans) knew that the soul stone and the time stone were the two Infinity stones left, in this featurette we finally get to hear it said from the creators of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“What do you do with the soul stone? What do you do with the time stone? How do you play that out?”

Just as “Avengers: Age of Ultron” was a big event, it sounds like Marvel is planning for “Avengers: Infinity War” to be even bigger. The Infinity stones seem to be acting as bridge that brings together the entire universe. We can probably expect to see the Guardians of the Galaxy encounter the Avengers and maybe some Netflix Marvel characters as well.

Despite many of these characters joining forces, it seems like the main villain should be a more than formidable opponent. Thanos is described as a “supreme god” in comparison to Thor who is known as a god himself. While Thor may be one of the most powerful characters in the MCU, Thanos will be unlike any villain we’ve ever seen before. The superheroes we know will no longer be able to depend on one particular powerhouse to stop him, this may be the first necessary team collaboration.

How do you think the Infinity stones will change the MCU?
