Kevin Feige Reveals Secret About The MCU's Infinity Gauntlet

During a recent interview with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, he revealed a pretty big piece of information regarding the Infinity Gauntlet in the Marvel cinematic universe. 

SPOILERS AHEAD:

If you saw Avengers: Age of Ultron then you know that Thanos pops up during the mid-credits sequence of the movie and retrieves the Infinity Gauntlet. When he does this he says, "Fine, I’ll do it myself." 

I just want to point out to you at this time that there was an Infinity Gauntlet on display in Odin's Vault in the Thor films. At the time of seeing it, I wasn’t sure if Thanos was taking it from the vault or not, but Feige clears that up, and in the process he lets us in on a big secret.

While talking to Cinema Blend, Feige says that the Infinity Gauntlet that we saw at the end of Age of Ultron was not the one in Odin's vault. He went on to explain:

"There are two different gloves. That was not Odin’s vault that you see at the end."

Two different gloves huh? That's interesting. For those of you not familiar with the Infinity Gauntlet, it’s a glove specifically constructed to hold what are known as The Infinity Stones in the MCU. These stones include the Power Stone (as seen in Guardians of the Galaxy); the Space Stone (the Tesseract from Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers); the Reality Stone (the Aether from Thor: The Dark World); the Mind Stone (the gem from Loki’s staff in The Avengers and The Avengers: Age of Ultron) and the Time Stone and Soul Stone, which we still have not seen.

There is no information on why there are two Gauntlets in the MCU. It could prove to be both hurtful and helpful to the challenges that the Avengers will face in Avengers: Infinity War. It will be interesting to see what Marvel has planned for these.

The image above confirms that Thanos will eventually collect all six Infinity Stones. Does this mean that maybe a Marvel hero could rise to the challenge to face Thanos with a Gauntlet of their own?

One of our writers Bryan has a theory that Thanos will use the Infinity Gauntlet to destroy half the universe, and that one of the heroes could use the other one to restore it. I believe there are only one set of Infinity Stones though, so I'm not sure how that will work unless they take them from each other. This theory kind of goes in line with some of the previous rumors we heard about Avengers: Infinity War.

By the time Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 comes around, Steve Rogers is dead and Thor is in prison and will not be in the movie. Some of the potential team members that might be in Infinity War Part I include Scarlet Witch, Vision, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, Wasp, Captain Marvel, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, and more. It’s also rumored that when Part 2 is released all of the Avengers will return — including Steve Rogers. Maybe one of the things that the Infinity Gauntlet does is bring Captain America back to life, possibly along with other Avengers. It does have that power.

That’s just speculation, so feel free to include your theories in the comment section below.
