About Avengers: Infinity War

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too 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.

Our take on Avengers: Infinity War

Joe Russo's 2018 blockbuster gathers years of Marvel storylines into a single confrontation, pitting the assembled Avengers against Thanos, a warlord bent on collecting the six Infinity Stones and bending reality to his will. As action-adventure science fiction, it leans hard on scale, crosscutting between scattered heroes and cosmic stakes rather than a single arc. It rewards viewers already invested in this universe, since much of its weight comes from characters you've followed across earlier films. Newcomers may find the sprawling cast disorienting, but fans of large-scale superhero spectacle and villains with genuine conviction will find plenty to chew on. Come knowing this is only half a story.
