Did the tesseract storyline get introduced before the writers decided to introduce the Infinity War arc?



I'm just curious as to why the Space Stone was a cube, then crushed by Thanos to reveal the Space Stone in Infinity War.

          Initially I thought of something and it came VERY close to the actual answer(Marvel Wiki).



          The space stone earlier existed as the stone itself (the pure form)
          The Tesseract was built by Asgardians to control the power held within it.



          The Asgardians used the Tesseract as a means to teleport apart from the bi-frost.
          The space stone can not only teleport its beholder, but can alter space as well, create portals and even black holes.



          The Asgardians at the time of Bor (father of Odin Borson and Thor's grandpa), sealed it in a cube shape, notice how Thor uses the device at the end of Avengers to use the Tesseract and is built exactly to hold a cube.

            Marvel had their comic books to draw from, in these the Terreract was already an established object as was the fact that it contained an Infinity Stone. but that was in the comics and not the MCU so i'll just stick to the MCU here.



            The writers new the story arc they wanted to put into film, the Infinity War... but it was impossible, they would never be able to pull of such a huge story-line with so many characters that are important to the story arc from my understanding was very much the opinion of almost everyone at Marvel Studios. at least back when they made Captain America: the First Avenger which introduced the Tesseract.



            However With the success of Iron Man, and with the grand an ideal goal a mere pipe dream, they laid out plans to see if they could bring all the main characters together for an Avengers Film. but even then they could see that maybe just maybe they might be able to dream. so why not use the Tesseract as the main plot point. if it goes no where then its not real matter, however if it works then they could continue that plan all the way forwards to Infinity War.



            So yes they had it planned out, but only in a grand over arcing sort of plan, nothing set in stone.



            How the Stones Appear



            Of the 6 infinity Stones, 3 of them appeared as something different at some point. its not just the Tesseract



            • Space Stone - Inside the Tesseract

            • Mind Stone - Inside the glowing center of Loki's Scepter

            • Reality Stone - A Stone... that appears as a wavy floating red glowy thing

            The other three have been introduced to us as having appearing in the "normal" gem appearance.



            • Time Stone - Contained within the Eye of Agamoto, but still just the stone

            • Power Stone - Contained with the Orb

            • Soul Stone - Just as the stone... but somewhere hidden away somehow

            So there is no fixed way they should appear if the writers wanted them to appear as something else for the sake of the plot then they did.



            TLDR: They had hopes but no concrete plans, but they based a lot of it on the Comics in which the Space Stone was contained in the Tesseract.

            • Detailed answer, but to make this a better answer you may have to put up some references. shouldn't from comics as you seems to get it right. put valid references to make your theory more outstanding and concrete
