9. The Other Buyer
This is pure speculation, but it does appear throughout the movie that there’s another interested party in getting their hands on this Infinity Stone. Even if we assume that the Broker was going to sell to The Collector, who does Yondu intend on selling it to near the end of the movie? We could of course just guess that it’s another representative for Thanos, but Yondu doesn’t seem at all bothered about not selling it, so perhaps he was just hoping to find someone? Either way, if there is another cosmic character after the Infinity Stones, that would add an interesting wrinkle and allows for the introduction of someone like Adam Warlock’s evil alter-ego, the Magus. For now though, we know that Thanos desperately wants them, and that should be challenge enough for the heroes!
