What the future holds
Disney+
Until then, if the Bloodstone is in fact a conduit for Chaos Magic, what could this mean for the future of the MCU? It’s possible that the relic could play a part in “Agatha: Coven of Chaos.” Maybe since she herself is a monster, Elsa Bloodstone needs to use her family heirloom to keep a recently freed Agatha under control (since she was likely freed from Wanda’s spell when she died). Speaking of Wanda, maybe the Bloodstone is the key to bringing the Scarlet Witch back to life. And if so, it’s possible that Sorcerer Supreme Wong or America Chavez or Baron Mordo or even Nico Minoru from “Runaways” might have something to say about that.
No matter how the Bloodstone factors into future phases, it’s sure to come in handy since the world (and the multiverse) is full of monsters.

But what if famed composer Michael Giacchino’s ode to classic monster movies starring Gael Garcia Bernal was more connected than you think? After all, there was one thing throughout the whole story that was presented in color (until the very end) and that thing seemed to be incredibly important. And we’re not just talking about its importance to the monster hunters gathered at Castle Bloodstone. What if the Bloodstone actually does play a part in the future of the MCU?
Previously, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said that this story will be important to the interconnected world that they’ve built thus far over the past decade. Based on the emphasis on how important the Bloodstone is to the monster hunter community, it’s fair to say that it could also be similarly important to others as well. So while there isn’t a ton of evidence in the 54-minute Disney+ special to indicate whether this is completely sound or not, consider this theory: It’s possible that the coveted Bloodstone is connected to the Chaos Magic that was previously wielded by the Scarlet Witch.
The history of the Bloodstone
But that’s still not a lot to go on. According to Marvel Comics, the Bloodstone is a piece of a meteorite. Ulysses Bloodstone found it during the Hyborian Age while he was still a mortal man. But after encountering the servant of an entity known as the Hellfire Helix, a piece of the meteorite was embedded in Ulysses’ chest. This piece, which would come to be known as the Bloodstone, granted him enhanced strength, agility, and healing. Plus, it made him immortal.
Following his death, Ulysses’ three children Elsa, Cullen, and Lyra all had their own encounters with the gem. While Elsa also became a famed monster hunter and utilized a piece of the Bloodstone in a similar fashion to its MCU counterpart, Cullen used his piece to keep his inner monster at bay. Then, when Lyra returned to life after thousands of years, the mystical Nullgem also came back with her. Essentially the other half of the Bloodstone, the siblings used both items to rid their younger brother of his literal demons.

Both the Bloodstone and Chaos Magic are mysterious and supernatural in nature. Both took thousands of years to understand, as Ulysses and the writers of the Darkhold will tell you. And both have found ways to enhance the humans that adopted them. And am I basically saying this because they emit the same color? Basically, but it’s a working hypothesis that will evolve over time.
