One of the biggest debates heading into
Avengers: Infinity War revolves around the location of the Soul Stone. The sixth and final Infinity Stone that has yet to even make a physical appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
An endless amount of
theories have been formulated about the gem's whereabouts. Arguably, the three most popular theories are that it's hidden within
Black Panther's nation of Wakanda, it's bound to the former Asgradian gatekeeper Heimdall, or it have something to do with the Sovereign's perfect being: Adam Warlock.
A critical character in the original Infinity Gauntlet comics whose introduction was teased in a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 post credits scene; This theory was backed by the fact that Warlock's story in the Infinity Gauntlet comic basically revolved around the Soul Stone. Given this evidence, and the fact that Warlock played such a crucial role in the war against Thanos, fans have believed that he would be appearing in the upcoming Avengers sequel.
Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn attempted to put to rest the assumption that Adam will be appearing in Infinity War, but fans don't seem to be taking the hint. A fan on Twitter recently surmised that the Soul Stone will appear alongside Warlock; Gunn took to Twitter to once more to put the Adam theories to rest and disprove the common Soul Stone theory.
Gunn has, of course, already seen the movie, so he's more than 99% sure of what happens in Infinity War. He's also the guy who introduced Adam to the MCU in the first place. He knows what he's talking about. But for those still blindly hopeful and clinging onto that 1% you could suppose Gunn's simply lying to cover-up a reveal.
So, now that we know the stone won't be arriving with Adam; where do you think it'll be? Perhaps within Wakanda or Heimdall? Where, when, how and why would you like Adam Warlock to appear in the MCU?
