What Happened to the Infinity Gauntlet at the End of Infinity War?

For those of you who have not seenAvengers: Infinity Waryet, there are major SPOILERS below, so read ahead at your own risk. There are a lot of instances inInfinity Warthat are taken directly off of the page from the different comics that were used as source material. One of those times includes the very end of the movie whereThanos is able to use the Space Stoneto teleport away from Wakanda after succeeding in his mission to obtain all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of the universe. But what happened after all of that?

After Thanos snaps his fingers on Earth, he uses the Space Stone to travel to another planet, where he is seen sitting on a porch without the Infinity Gauntlet. The Mad Titan’s arm is badly burned and theInfinity Gauntletis spotted on a scarecrow, which has seen some better days as well. The visual of the scarecrow is taken from theInfinity Warcomic in what is known as Farmer Thanos to Marvel fans. The Infinity Gauntlet is badly burned, as shown in Wakanda as well, and appears to be broken.

Obviously, the Gauntlet isn’t completely broken, as Thanos was able to teleport using the Space Stone. So, it seems logical to think that the Mad Titan simply overloaded the Gauntlet with theultimate power, leading it to not function with the power of all 6 stones any longer.Infinity Wardoes not expressly say exactly what happened to the Infinity Stones or the Gauntlet, but it sure does imply that it has been badly damaged.

If Thanos isn’t able to useall 6 stonesin a God-like way anymore, it could go a long way in being one of the factors that allow the Avengers to take the Mad Titan down in the upcomingAvengers 4. However, this is all speculation at this point, since nothing has been officially revealed by Marvel Studios. A lot of action goes down inInfinity War, but the mystery at the end is almost too much for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to handle, having to wait a full year to see the next installment.

The Infinity Stones haveplayed a large role in the MCUover the past decade, so it’s safe to say that they will play a major role inAvengers 4, just like they did inInfinity War. The Avengers could end up going back to Nidavellir to use the old mold of the Infinity Gauntlet that was seen duringInfinity Warto handle the 6 stones on their own. Again, this is speculation at this point. We still have a lot of waiting to do before we learn the true fate of the Infinity Gauntlet and the stones.
