Check it out, if you haven't seen Avengers: Age of Ultron now would be a good time to turn back. Got it? Good. But
Okay, so it's been obvious since 2012's The Avengers that Thanos was going to be the big baddie for the team, and he's turned up again in Guardians of the Galaxy. Everything should come to a head with the two-part Avengers: Infinity War beginning in 2018, but the purple-skinned villain still has moves to make before then. If you stayed for the mid-credits sequence after Avengers: Age of Ultron, you saw Thanos reach into a vault of some kind and take out the infamous Infinity Gauntlet, his all-powerful weapon of choice that uses the energy of the various gems we've seen in many a Marvel film. There's just one problem: we've already seen the gauntlet in Thor, sitting in Odin's trophy room. What's up with that?
Cinemablend caught up with Marvel's Kevin Feige and asked him directly about it (glad someone finally did!), and his answer is pretty shocking...
"There are two different gloves. That was not Odin’s vault that you see at the end."
Say what? Two different Infinity Gauntlets? In a way that makes sense for Thanos to create a second one if he can't get the first one back? Or is it that the one in Odin's trophy room is a fake, designed to make them think the weapon is in their safe keeping? I'm leaning towards the latter, but this is pretty big and is one more reason to be excited about Infinity War.
