Avengers: Endgame

"He still got the stones, so..." "So let's get 'em. We use them to bring everyone back." "Just like that?" "Yeah. Just like that." "Even if there's a small chance that we can undo this... I mean we owe it to everyone who's not in this room to try."

Synopsis
The grave course of events set in motion by Thanos that wiped out half the universe and fractured the Avengers ranks compels the remaining Avengers to take one final stand in Marvel Studios' grand conclusion to twenty-two films, Avengers: Endgame.

Plot
Following Thanos's activation of the Infinity Gauntlet, half of all life across the universe disintegrates, including Clint Barton's family. Three weeks later, Carol Danvers rescues Nebula and Tony Stark, who are stranded in space following their defeat by Thanos. She returns them on Earth where they rendezvous with Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, Rocket, Thor, Pepper Potts and James Rhodes. The team tries to retrieve the Infinity Stones from Thanos to reverse his actions, but finds that he has destroyed them to prevent any further use. Thanos is decapitated by Thor.

Five years later, Banner has merged with the Hulk and Thor has become the drunken ruler of Asgard's refugees in Tønsberg, Norway. Scott Lang escapes from the quantum realm and finds Romanoff and Rogers at the Avengers' compound, theorizing that the quantum realm can allow time travel. The three propose to Stark—now raising a daughter, Morgan, with Pepper—that they travel back in time to retrieve the Infinity Stones before Thanos. Stark initially rejects out of concern for Morgan, but relents after reflecting upon the loss of Peter Parker and designs a working time machine.

The reunited Avengers split into groups for their mission. Banner, Rogers, Lang, and Stark travel to the Battle of New York to retrieve the Time, Mind, and Space Stones. Banner visits the Sanctum Sanctorum and convinces the Ancient One to give him the Time Stone, and Rogers overcomes undercover HYDRA agents and his past self to retrieve the Mind Stone, but Lang and Stark's failed distraction enables Loki to escape with the Space Stone. Rogers and Stark travel back further to the U.S. Army's Camp Lehigh in 1970, to steal both an earlier version of the Space Stone and vials of Hank Pym's size-altering Pym Particles to return home afterwards. The pair succeed, while meeting Peggy Carter and Howard Stark en route.

In Asgard, Rocket and Thor retrieve the Reality Stone from Jane Foster. Thor encounters his mother Frigga, whose counsel restores his conviction, and obtains a past version of his hammer, Mjolnir. Barton and Romanoff arrive on Vormir for the Soul Stone. They learn from its keeper, Red Skull, that it can only be retrieved by sacrificing someone they love. After a struggle between the two, Romanoff sacrifices herself.

On Morag, Nebula and Rhodes steal the Power Stone before Peter Quill. Rhodes returns it to the present, but Nebula is left stranded behind as her cybernetic implants interface with those of her past self, which Thanos exploits and learns of present-day events. He sends the past incarnation of Nebula to the present in Nebula's place.

Banner activates the Infinity Stones to resurrect everyone killed by Thanos, while Nebula's past self uses the time machine to transport Thanos and his army from the past to the Avengers' facility. They reduce it to rubble, but Barton managed to recover the Infinity Stones in the chaos. The past Nebula is killed by her present-day self, while Rogers, Thor, and Stark confront Thanos, now planning to use the Infinity Stones to destroy the universe and create a new one with no memory of the original. Rogers proves able to lift Thor's hammer, while Doctor Strange and Wong arrive and teleport all of the revived Avengers and others, including the armies of Wakanda and Asgard, to battle Thanos. Stark eventually retrieves and activates the Infinity Stones, which disintegrates Thanos and his army, though Stark himself dies in the process.

Following a funeral for Stark, Thor appoints Valkyrie queen of Asgard and joins the Guardians of the Galaxy. After returning the Infinity Stones and Thor's hammer to their original timelines, Rogers chooses to travel back and live his life in the past with Carter. He arrives as an elderly man and passes his shield to Sam Wilson.

Production

 * On October 28, 2014, the film was announced as Avengers: Infinity War – Part II, while the third Avengers film was titled Avengers: Infinity War – Part I. However, in June 2016, both films were renamed. The third film title was shortened to Avengers: Infinity War and the fourth film was simply the Untitled Avengers film. Anthony and Joe Russo explain this rename as "the movies are two very different movies", so "it is misleading".
 * Chris Evans revealed Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame were shot back to back. Filming started on January 23, 2017, and is expected to end in October/November 2017.
 * During a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 event in April 2017, Zoe Saldana revealed the title of the film as Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet. Following this, James Gunn announced that was not the title.
 * On September 11, 2017, the production of the movie was shut down because of Hurricane Irma.
 * Kevin Feige has confirmed in an interview that Avengers: Endgame will be a "finale" to the current iteration of the MCU and "everything before Avengers: Endgame and everything after" will result in "two distinct periods". Feige also confirmed that there are plans for twenty movies after Avengers: Endgame is released.
