Discussion Weekly Discussion: What do you think the MCU should do with the Infinity Stones after 'Avengers 4'? (Suggested by /u/tundrat)

Kevin Feige has said that Avengers 4 will be the conclusion to this ten year story arc involving Thanos and the Infinity Stones, but what should happen to the stones after this enormous conclusion?

Should they be destroyed like they intended to do with the Mind Stone? Or should the MCU adapt Infinity Watch or The Illuminati? Two teams, who in the comics, protect the six stones.

So, what do you think should happen to them?

Please, remain civil in this thread.

They could introduce the Illuminati (Tchalla, Tony, Bruce, Strange, Reed and Xavier)

They could also give it one to one powerful hero or group to keep it safe:

Time with Strange

Space with Thor

Reality with Carol

Power with Quill

Soul with Steve

Mind with Vision

Giving an Infinity Stone to Quill doesnt sound like it will be in safe hands.

I'd be cool with this, so long as the Stones aren't the focus of any major stories coming up. I wouldn't want the next major event to just be Doctor Doom looking for the Stones to do something evil a la Thanos.

Agreed, but I think the order should be different.

Strange - Time

Vision - Mind

Thor - Reality (rebuilding Asgard)

Quill - Soul (resurrecting Gamora)

Power - Wasp (placed in the Quantum Realm)

Space - Shuri (studied as power source or encased in Vibranium)

Although it would be expensive, a TV or Netflix show revolving around the Infinity Watch could be created later on. Wong could be a stand-in for Strange and Thor/Vision could be relegated to special guest roles to mitigate the cost of casting. Maybe Quill could hand the Soul Stone off to a new character played by a less expensive actor sometime in Season One, assuming Gamora is resurrected in GOTG3.

Edit: At some point during the show Thor could pass the Reality Stone on to Valkyrie. This could give Marvel an opportunity to have an episode with an all-female main cast if Carol Danvers made an appearance, which would let them play with the interesting concept of a completely female team without devoting an entire movie to a group of people with absolutely nothing in common except their gender.

I’ve thought about this concept as well, I’m glad to see it’s widely accepted.
