Plot Details For Avengers: Infinity War Begin To Trickle Out

Marvel's "Phase 3" is in full swing.  It started with Captain America: Civil War this past May, and it will continue with Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, and Black Panther.  Five more movies until the next installment of the Avengers hits theaters, but it's already been discussed more than the other movies.  Filming for the movie will begin later this year, and with the title that the feature has been given, it's not hard to guess what the movie will be about...if you like to read comic books!  Now LRM has revealed what they are hearing about as far as the plot details go, which they are reporting will borrow heavily from the Infinity Gauntlet storyline (as opposed to the Infinity War storyline) from the Marvel comics.  Here's what they're saying...


LRM is reporting that the opening scene for the movie is going to stay true to the Infinity Gauntlet comic book.  It starts with Thanos the Mad Titan trying to court the personification of Death.  His mindset is that if he brings her souls, that Death would more likely favor him.  His love for Death is the reason he is in search of the Infinity Stones.  Once he has all of the stones, his Infinity Gauntlet will be complete, and he will wipe out half of all sentient life in the universe to try and appease her.  His quest for the stones brings up some interesting questions, though.


The first (and most obvious question) is, "Who's going to play Death?"  There were rumors going around that Marvel was going to have Cate Blanchett's Hela from Thor: Ragnarok end up being Death.  In the Ragnarok movie, Blanchett's Hela is the leader of Hell in that movie, and there are some people saying that her character Hela is actually Death.  Not a far stretch, and Marvel would be wise to use Blanchett in a larger capacity than just for one movie.  However, this rumor, while having not been confirmed or denied by the studios, doesn't seem to be happening, which means someone new will be cast to play Death.  Who will it be?  No idea, but as soon as I hear something, I'll let you know.


The other question that the movie raises is, "Is Vision going to die?"  It seems that in order for Thanos to obtain all six of the Infinity Stones, he would have to take Vision's as well, and if Vision loses his Infinity Stone, won't his character die?  Seems a shame to kill him off so quickly after introducing us to him.  Of course, since he is a robot (technically) if Thanos does acquire his Infinity Stone, then fights the Avengers and loses the stones, could they pit it back in Vision and have him resurrected?  I don't know, but it should be interesting to see how Vision fits into all of this.
