The updated synopsis forThe Avengers: Infinity Warreveals that Thanos will “inflict his will on all of reality.” Marvel has been building up to this point for almost a decade and it’s about time to see the payoff.The Avengerswill team up with theGuardians of the Galaxyto stop Thanos from gaining all of the Infinity Stones in the biggest comic book movie to date. No specific plot points have been given away, but this is the first official synopsis that we have seen forAvengers: Infinity War.
The new synopsis comes from License! Global Magazine, which also reveals plots forBlack PantherandThor of Ragnarok. Read the synopsis forInfinity Warbelow.
“As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from theaters to large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.”
While this isn’t anything new, it does highlight the sense of urgency of the movie and provides just how far the evil of Thanos is willing to go. This will definitely pit the Avengers andalliesup against their biggest enemy to date.
The allies brought in to helpthe Avengersfight Thanos mentioned in the synopsis are obviously theGuardians of the Galaxywho are known to have their own beef with Thanos. Iron Man and Captain America will be pitted against a villain that is far too superior for their powers and will likely have to call on the Guardians for some extra help, though it isn’t revealed specifically how this meeting will take place. It is rumored thatTony Starkwill reach out to theGuardiansfor some galactic help to take down Thanos.
Josh Brolin’s portrayal of Thanos has been teased since the firstAvengersmovie and he’s a had small part inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, but was left out of the sequel. Guardian’s director James Gunn has said that Thanos was left out ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2because the plot is focused more on the two sisters, Gamora and Nebula, not their father. But while Thanos is not in the movie, his sense of evil and depravity are firmly placed into the story, revealing just how ruthless Thanos can be. Thanos easily destroys his family, what kind of evil can he unleash into the universe?
Infinity Waris said to be a culmination of everything that the MCU has worked towards starting with 2008’sIron Man. It’s hard to believe that it has been that long. Theexcitement for the moviethat has been kept under wraps is starting to get out of control. But like everything, as the release date gets closer, so do the spoilers. Expect a lot of new details to roll in in the coming months regarding the story line and specific plot points.
