In the comics, a big part of the Black Panther mythos involves the character getting his powers from an herb that was mutated by a meteor that fell to earth. The meteor also allows him to communicate with the spirits of prior Black Panthers. The meteor itself is vibranium in the comics and the trailers haven't really hinted at this much outside of the ritual site encounter, but this bit could be easily repurposed as the Soul Stone.
I believe that the Black Panther trailer has a scene or two that looks like it highlights his 'communing with the dead' ability, so you might be on to something there...

It'll probably be Star-Lord or Rocket Raccoon. At the end of the IW trailer we see Thor meet the Guardians of the Galaxy, so my money's on one of them being the comic relief.
I loved the trailer and am already pumped for the movie! It's going to be awesome!

The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.

My theory with the Guardians and Thor is they don't even meet the Avengers in this film. We see a brief shot of Thor in a huge glowy machine being all manly, but we don't actually see him fighting alongside the other Avengers. My guess is Thor meets the Guardians, and decides he needs a new weapon, and gets them to help him create Stormbreaker (in the glowy machine from the trailer).
Then by the end of the film, the Avengers are on the ropes, possibly a death or two to show that gak has actually gotten real. Basically what Thanos means in his speech that they will know what it means to lose.
In the second film, the Avengers will be fighting a losing battle, when suddenly there's some rockin 80's tunes and the Milano roars down blowing away whatever they're fighting while Thor, Captain Marvel, the Guardians and whoever else is introduced in Captain Marvel show up, rescue the beleaguered Avengers, share a few quips, and go beat down Thanos.

I believe Zoe Saldana said something like 'We've just shot Infinity War, and now we've got to go back and shoot 'Gauntlet'', before quickly backtracking. This has been officially denied as the title by Feige and the Russos, but I still reckon it's probably a safe bet that they'll call it Infinity Gauntlet.

There's definitely going to be some time travel shenanigans, I'm sure. What I'd really like to see them do with that is a kind of 'tour' of the MCU to date, perhaps as Thanos uses the Time Gem to undo it all or something. That way, it hammers home how much of a victory Thanos is winning whilst also being somewhat celebratory of what they've built, which I think IW definitely needs.
It's the culmination of an unprecedented amount of work on and off screen, and to not take a moment to reminisce fondly on that would be a missed opportunity.

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope they don't do Secret Empire. We've had enough deconstructionist takes on "paragon" good guy superheroes thanks to DC, we don't need any more. Cap's whole thing is that he's that good guy even when it hurts him, even when it's probably the stupid choice to make, so if Evans is done with the character give him the heroic sendoff he deserves and give Mackie the shield or whatever.

The cast doesn't always know the final name of the film or even the real plot (read about the shenanigans pulled to keep the end of Empire Strikes Back under wraps)
Since Infinity Gauntlet isn't a spoiler I tend not to believe.
But hey what if one of the Avengers has the gauntlet?

There is a bit of a snag in this idea. Hulk and Thor are currently in the same boat, for a post-Ragnarok value of 'currently.' But Hulk is very prominently with the powerless team in the trailer.
So whatever happens with the boat and Loki more than likely handing over the Tesseract (probably in exchange for the boat), Hulk and Thor have to either get split up, or some more complex decisions are being made.
I've seen an interesting suggestion that at some point, Banner is going to suit up in the Hulkbuster armour. We see him in Wakanda with its arm (as Banner rather than Hulk), and the landing the HB suit does resembles the way Hulk lands from his jumps. Personally, I think Banner controlling the HB suit would be a really cool touch, either from inside it or via some kind of long-distance control which we know Stark has from Homecoming. It lets us see him how Banner handles himself in a battle and it would be a nice reversal if the thing designed to take him down ended up helping him stay in the fight.
I say this mainly as I also want him to be in the HB suit, then Hulk Out inside it and tear it to pieces. That would be a damn cool thing to see.
Maybe the Asgardians decide not to settle on Earth so as to a) not upset the planet's balance of power and b) not paint an even bigger target on it than it already has. Instead, they drop off Banner, and go their merry way in search of a new home.

Given their circumstances, I don't think 'making a decision' is really up to them.*
But honestly, going to earth doesn't make any sense to me. The tech and lifespan difference would cause lots of problems. Really, they should just go to Vanir (or whatever Realm) where Thor and company were fighting at the beginning of Thor 2. Where the last of the Warriors Three was from. They're obviously fairly friendly, related, and are used to the Asgardians. That's a much better place for the refugees.
* However, I'm not convinced they're going to survive, given what's in the image with Loki holding the tesseract

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Okay, I have some questions. I finally watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It could have a huge impact on the Infinity War movies.
Spoiler:
At the very end when the crazy gold skin queen is shown with the machine she just made, she refers to it as Adam. Since Infinity War is coming up and he has a lot to do with the Infinity Stones, is she talking about Adam Warlock maybe?

Did anyone see the show she was in with Sulu from Reboot Trek? Selfie?
Yup. Aside from the pilot having to do bad exposition, it was actually a good show, but exceedingly poorly named and never got the audience it needed. Pity about that, for both her and John Cho.
Maybe the Deus Ex Machina in the second infinity wars movie. I am assuming if Thanos gets a few of the stones, at least, they are going to need a cosmic heavy hitter to deal with that.
I've also got a few theories on the MCU post Thanos. But a lot of it is determined by this Fox deal. If they get the FF, Galactus is going to show up. Then they will also have the X-Men so a Shadow King arc would be pretty great.

I believe it was said after the movie was released that he wouldn't be in Infinity War but was a spoiler for Guardians 3.
I am curious if after Avengers 4 they'll turn the Guardians into the Infinity Watch.
