Plus all the characters from ' Black Panther.' And the ones from ' Guardians of the Galaxy.' And a few more Marvel characters who are new to this film.Ĭo-directors Joe and Anthony Russo, co-writers Stephen McFeely and Christopher Markus, their small army of actors, and their hundreds of filmmaking collaborators have managed to get on the same page and stay on it. Once he's collected all six, Thanos will be able to achieve his dream of wiping out half the population of the universe in order to preserve its precious resources and restore 'balance.' The only thing standing in his way are the Avengers, led by Thor ( Chris Hemsworth), Hulk/Bruce Banner ( Mark Ruffalo), Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson), Steve Rogers/Captain America ( Chris Evans) and the rest.
The plot finds the intergalactic bad guy Thanos ( Josh Brolin) and his army of Green Goblin-looking warriors bouncing from star system to star system, torturing and killing various adversaries in order to gather six super-powerful Infinity Stones and embed them in Thanos' oversized glove. For a 160-minute epic that unifies a far-flung superhero universe that took a decade to build, packs 76 characters into one story, and has four to six plotlines cooking at any given time, 'Avengers: Infinity War' hangs together pretty well.
