The Soulworld was a pocket dimension that existed inside the Soul Stone where souls resided.
History[]
Reunion with Gamora[]
Following her sacrifice on Vormir, Gamora's soul was transported into the Soul Stone, where she reverted to a child form similar to when she'd first met Thanos. After he successfully wiped out half of the universe's population by snapping his fingers with the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos' consciousness briefly traveled into the Soulworld, where he faced his adoptive daughter after walking over a watery floor.
Gamora, turning to meet her adoptive father, asked if he completed his mission, to which he agreed. When she asked what it had cost him, he solemnly remarked that it cost everything he had before Thanos' consciousness returned to his body.[1] Three weeks later, Thanos destroyed the Soul Stone, thus destroying the Soulworld as well.[2]
Trivia[]
- In the comics, the Soulworld, or Soul World, is a dimension covered in a dusty plain which exists inside the Soul Gem and housed the souls of Goddess and Magus.
Behind the Scenes[]
- The Soulworld was set to appear in a deleted scene in Avengers: Endgame in which Tony Stark meets an older version of his daughter Morgan, portrayed by Katherine Langford. The scene was shown in a test screening of the movie and both confused the audience and did not emotionally resonate with them, thus it was cut for these reasons.[3]
- An original idea for Deadpool & Wolverine was to show Deadpool was in the Marvel Cinematic Universe the whole time. In one of the ideas, Deadpool would be present with Thanos in Soulworld.[4]
