4. Heimdall
A few days back, we came across a very appealing fan story which predicted that Heimdall might be the Soul Stone. He has abilities which are unmatched by any other Asgardian and his glowing eyes do make it a realistic assumption. The word has been going around for a while that Idris Elba’s association with the MCU is headed towards a closure. Earlier we had thought that Thanos might visit Asgard to capture the Infinity Gauntlet, but, it would make even more sense to know that his target was Heimdall as Asgard is now unprotected with Thor not being there.
This kind of plot would most likely make Asgard the venue for the battle between Avengers and the Mad Titan and to be honest, it would be super awesome. In fact, Thanos killing Heimdall might just be the catalyst that unravels the sequences in Avengers: Infinity War. It would be sad to let go of Elba, but, then his impressive character has hardly been utilized by Marvel and he could very well feature in his own franchise either in the form of the film based on Stephen King’s Dark Tower series or something else.
3. Captain America
We all love Chris Evans playing Steve Rogers, however, his contract is nearly over and he has spoken about being keen to direct films, therefore, it is not off the mark to assume that this film might wrap up his stint as Captain America. He nearly died in Civil War, but, giving him a heroic death against Thaos would be an even better send off to the legend of Captain America.
The comic book showed that Tony gave the shield back to Steve, but, it shattered when he used it against Thanos. The visual impact of such a scene would be tremendous and would be followed by the American hero being killed by Thanos and the film ending with Thanos getting ready to continue the fight against Avengers in the next film would be an epic climax. While just like the Guardians of the Galaxy, this would leave the leader-less Avengers resolving
