Plot[]
Three weeks after Thanos used the Infinity Stones to disintegrate half of all life across the universe,Template:Refn Carol Danvers rescues Tony Stark and Nebula from deep space. They return to Earth and join the remaining Avengers—Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, Rocket, Thor, Natasha Romanoff and James Rhodes. Using Nebula's knowledge, they find an injured Thanos on an unguarded planet and intend to retake the Stones to reverse his actions but find he has already destroyed them to prevent further use. An enraged Thor beheads Thanos.
Five years later, Scott Lang escapes the quantum realmTemplate:Refn and meets Romanoff and Rogers at the Avengers' compound. Lang explains that he experienced only five hours while trapped, theorizing that the quantum realm allows time travel. The three ask Stark to help them retrieve the Stones from the past so they can reverse Thanos' actions in the present, but he refuses out of fear of losing his daughter, Morgan. After talking with his wife, Pepper Potts, Stark relents and works with Banner—who has merged his consciousness with the Hulk's body—to stabilize travel in the quantum realm. Banner and Rocket go to the Asgardian refugees' new home in Norway, to recruit a drunken, overweight Thor; Romanoff heads to Tokyo to recruit Clint Barton, now a ruthless vigilante following the disintegration of his family.
Banner, Rogers, Lang, and Stark travel to New York City in 2012.Template:Refn Banner visits the Sanctum Sanctorum and convinces the Ancient One to give him the Time Stone, promising to later return the Stones to their original place. Rogers successfully retrieves the Mind Stone, but Lang and Stark fail to retrieve the Space Stone after Loki escapes with it. Rogers and Stark travel to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in 1970 and steal an earlier version of the Space Stone, as well as vials of Pym Particles from Hank Pym, then return to the present.
Rocket and Thor travel to Asgard in 2013 to retrieve the Reality Stone from Jane Foster,Template:Refn and Thor obtains his former hammer, Mjolnir. On Morag in 2014, Nebula and Rhodes steal the Power Stone before Peter Quill can.Template:Refn Rhodes returns to the present with the Power Stone, though Nebula is unable to return due to her cybernetic implants interfacing with those of her past self. Through this connection, the Thanos of that time learns of his future success and the Avengers' attempts to undo it. Thanos captures present-day Nebula and sends past Nebula to the present. Barton and Romanoff travel to Vormir in the same year and learn from the Soul Stone's keeper, the Red Skull, that it can only be acquired by sacrificing someone they love. Romanoff sacrifices herself, allowing Barton to claim the Stone.
After the Avengers retrieve and carry all of the Infinity Stones to the present, a new gauntlet is made and Banner is chosen to wield it on account of his lower susceptibility to the gamma radiation the Stones emit. He uses it to restore all those whom Thanos had disintegrated. Past-Nebula uses the time machine to transport Thanos to the present, and he attacks the Avengers' compound, planning to completely wipe out and then rebuild the universe with the Stones. Present Day-Nebula convinces the past version of her sister, Gamora, to turn against Thanos, and kills the past version of herself. A restored Stephen Strange arrives with his fellow sorcerers, the restored Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the armies of Wakanda, Asgard, and the Ravagers. They fight Thanos' army alongside Danvers, but Thanos seizes the Stones after overpowering Thor, Rogers, and Danvers. Stark steals the Stones back and uses them to wipe Thanos and his army out, but dies as a result of the gamma radiation that this releases.
Following Stark's funeral, Thor appoints Valkyrie as the king of New Asgard and joins the Guardians of the Galaxy; Quill begins searching for past Gamora. Rogers returns the Infinity Stones and Mjolnir to their original places in time, then chooses to remain in the past to marry Peggy Carter. In the present, an elderly Rogers passes on his shield to Sam Wilson.

- On October 28, 2014, the film was announced as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2, while the third Avengers film was titled Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1.[18] However, in June 2016, both films were renamed.
