Russo Brothers on Captain America Attempting to Return the Soul Stone to Vormir


One of the biggest questions after Avengers: Endgame was how Captain America plans to return the Soul Stone to its original place whereas the exchange was said to be permanent. Though that is something fans can now deny, a lot of people are curious if he would run into the Red Skull again. As it turns out, he would have.

Talking to CinemaBlend, the Russo Brothers say:

Joe Russo: He would have to encounter Red Skull. And nobody knows what the rules are when you return the Soul Stone.

Anthony Russo: Nobody knows. But knowing Red Skull, he probably has a no-money-back policy.

Some have guessed that the Red Skull would just disappear and die after the Soul Stone exchange is made, but I guess it really doesn't matter unless the MCU plans on bringing the character back one more time. For now, I think we'll just have to consider what the Russos say until the bigger MCU plans to make its own official changes.

As for people wondering where Cap dropped off the stone, it's likely he just returned it to that reality without bringing it back to the original source. He could probably leave it with SHIELD or the Ancient One, but I guess he could give it back to Asgard when he's returning Mjolnir to 2013 Thor.
