[MCU] Who was guarding the Soul Stone before Red Skull? Did the Space Stone send him to Vormir intentionally for that purpose?
gpt
Red Skull was always guarding the Soul Stone. He guarded it from the point it was placed in Vormir to the point it was retrieved. He guarded it before he was born and after he died. He guarded it while he was still on Earth.

He was always the guardian of the Stone.
