Does the D23 Avengers Trailer Confirm Our Infinity Stone Theory? (Nerdist News w/ Jessica Chobot)

- Did the secret Avengers trailer
confirm our Infinity Stone theory?
Now, some super hush hush footage
from Infinity War dropped last week at D23,
but since Disney is keeping it close to the vest
to prevent deets from spoiling the whole film,
the footage was not released publicly.
However, that's not gonna stop us
from figuring out what's to come in Infinity War,
and since we've had some spot on theories
in the past when it comes to Infinity Stones,
we're diving in to see if the footage
in fact confirms our most recent suspicions of not one,
but two of the Infinity Stones in Thor: Ragnarok
and since we seem be Infinity Stone pre-cogs,
take this as your spoiler warning
in case we truly are seeing into the future
and our theory becomes truth yet again.
- Yes!
- So what did we see in the secret footage?
Now, it starts off with the Guardians of the Galaxy
happening upon a left for dead Thor floating in space.
They bring him aboard their ship and Mantis revives him.
Next, we cut to Earth where Loki is set to wreak havoc
with the tesseract and Spidey is on a school bus
when his spider sense kicks in.
From there, we see Doctor Strange
fighting along with the Guardians and Iron Man,
Thanos using a frigging moon as a weapon,
and Captain America with a beard that's not Peggy Carter.
So Cap goes from hero to war criminal
to unshaven miscreant in three movies,
but within this smorgasbord of Infinity War clips,
one detail in particular caught our eye
and we think that this detail is what confirms
our current Infinity Stone theory.
But first, as a refresher,
here's what we know about five of the six stones.
Now, the Space Stone, aka the tesseract,
was previously in Asgard but now
according to the secret D23 footage
will be wielded by Loki on Earth.
The Power Stone is still safely
locked away with the Nova Corps.
The Mind Stone is with Vision serving as his power source.
The Time Stone, aka Eye of Agamotto
is under guard at the Kamar-Taj,
and the Reality Stone is part of The Collector's collection.
So that leaves the Soul Stone,
which we believe has been in Heimdall's possession.
Now for more on that, check out our deep dive
on the Thor trailer.
Now in that episode, we prophecized that Hela
will be the one to wrench the Soul Stone from Heimdall
and use it to make a mess of Asgard in Ragnarok.
Now, based on a Thor Lego play set box reveal,
we've also predicted that Thor will fight fire with fire
or rather stone with stone, borrowing the Space Stone
to face off with Hela and her stolen Soul Stone,
so if Thor is the one who takes the tesseract from Asgard
to gain the upper hand in his Hela showdown,
then it is still possible that Loki gets his hands on it
after Thor uses it against Hela and that brings us
to the one detail that ties this all together.
Now, as we said, the secret clip opens
with Thor floating in space like an Asgardian Optimus Prime.
We believe that that little nugget
could mean that at the end of Ragnarok,
maybe even in a post-credit scene,
Thor runs a follow of Thanos or a couch-sitting Loki
who could take the stone from Thor,
leaving him floating in the void of space
to be picked up by the Guardians,
and upon swiping the Space Stone from a hapless Thor,
Thanos goes on to continue his mission
of collecting all of his precious stones.
We also know from D23 that Thanos
will have the backing of the Black Order
for the impending war with the assist from Hela.
Now with his team assembled,
all it would take at that point
is for Thanos to yank the rest of the stones
from their collective hiding places
and to add them to his Infinity Gauntlet
to kick off the Infinity War.
But what do you folks think?
Have we accurately tracked the Infinity Stone?
Who else do you want to see team up with the Avengers,
and do you think that Thor is in for some Hela trouble?
I'm embarrassed for myself.
Let's discuss.
What if we just take a picture of Loki sitting on the couch
but then we go "Dah, dah dah dah dah dah,"
and have him floating through space?
That's what we need.
We need, we need to make Thor floating through space.
You're not even listening.
- [Man] I heard it.
- You didn't care, whatever.
