Avengers Infinity War Script

BRUCE: Nat.

SAM WILSON: This is awkward.

(Cuts to a shot of Natasha, Bruce, Steve, Rhodey, Wanda, and Vision in another room.)

BRUCE: So we gotta assume they’re coming back, right? And they can clearly find us. We need all hands on deck. Where’s Clint?

NATASHA: After the whole Accords situation, he and Scott took a deal. It was too tough on their families.

BRUCE: Who’s Scott?

ROGERS: Ant-Man.

BRUCE: There’s an Ant-Man and a Spider-Man? Okay, look… Thanos has the biggest army in the Universe. And he is not gonna stop until he… He gets…Vision’s stone.

Natasha: Well then, we have to protect it.

VISION: No, we have to destroy it. I’ve been giving a good deal of thought to this entity in my head, about its nature. But also, its composition. I think if it were exposed to a sufficiently powerful energy source, something, very similar to its own signature, perhaps… Its molecular integrity could fail. (VISION addresses WANDA as he nears her)

WANDA: And you, with it. We’re not having this conversation.

VISION: Eliminating the stone is the only way to be certain that Thanos can’t get it.

WANDA: That’s too high a price.

VISION: Only you, have the power to pay it. Thanos threatens half the Universe. One life cannot stand in the way of defeating him.

ROGERS: But it should. We don’t trade lives, Vision.

VISION: (While walking toward Steve) Captain, 70 years ago, you laid down your life to save how many millions of people. Tell me, why is this any different?

(Steve takes a breath, but before he has a chance to answer Bruce begins to speak)

BRUCE: Because you might have a choice. Your mind is made up of a complex construct of overlays. Jarvis, Ultron, Tony, me, the Stone. All of them mixed together. All of them learning from one another.

WANDA: You’re saying Vision isn’t just the stone?

BRUCE: I’m saying that… If we take out the stone, there’s still a whole lot of Vision left. Perhaps the best parts.

NATASHA: Can we do that?

BRUCE: Not me. Not here.

RHODEY: You better find someone, and somewhere fast. Ross isn’t exactly just gonna let you guys have your old rooms back.

ROGERS: (pause) I know somewhere.

(Cuts to Wakanda, as T’Challa and Okoye walk together, accompanied by two Wakandan soldiers)

Okoye:You’ll have the King’s Guard, and the Dora Milaje have been alerted.

T’Challa: And the border tribe?

Okoye: Those that are left.

T’Challa: Send word to the Jabari as well. M’Baku likes a good fight.

Okoye: And what of this one?

T’Challa: This one may be tired of war. but the White Wolf has rested long enough.

(The Wakandan soldiers present the White Wolf with a new adamantium arm)

BUCKY:Where’s the fight?

T’CHALLA:On it’s way.

Ebony Maw:In all the time I’ve served Thanos, I’ve never failed him. If I were to reach our rendezvous on Titan with the Time Stone still attatched to your vaguely irritating person, there would be…judgement. Give me… the stone.

(Cut to Tony who is watching, hidden, from above. Strange’s cloak taps Stark on the arm. He raises his hand to it, ready to shoot, but he sees what it is and stands down.)

TONY: Wow you’re a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren’t you?

Peter Parker: Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty…

Tony: What the-

Peter Parker: I know what you’re gonna say.

Tony: You should not be here.

Peter Parker: I was gonna go home-

Tony: I don’t wanna hear it.

Peter Parker: But it was such a long way down and I just thought about you on the way-

Tony: And now I gotta hear it.

Peter Parker: …And I kinda stuck to the side of the ship. And this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So if anything, it’s kinda your fault that I’m here.

Tony: (seriously) What did you just say?

Peter Parker: I take that back. And now I’m here in space.

Tony: Yeah. Right where I don’t want you to be. This isn’t Coney Island. This isn’t a field trip. It’s one-way ticket. You hear me? Don’t pretend like you thought this through. You could not have possibly thought this through.

Peter Parker: No. I did think this through.

Tony: You could not have possibly thought this through.

Peter Parker: It’s just- You can’t be a friendly neighborhood Spider – Man when there’s no neighborhood. (Pause) Okay. That didn’t really make any sense, but you know what I’m trying to say.

Tony: Come on. We got a situation. See him down there? He’s in trouble. What’s your plan? Go.

Peter Parker: Um. Okay. Okay…uh…did you ever see that really old movie, Aliens?

(Cut back to Ebony Maw interrogating Strange.)

EBONY MAW: Painful aren’t they? They were originally designed for microsurgery. And any one of them…

(he turns to see Stark in his Iron Man suit standing there.)

EBONY MAW: …could end your friend’s life in an instant.

Tony: I gotta tell you, he’s not really my friend. Saving his life is more a professional courtesy.

EBONY MAW: You’ve saved nothing. Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine.

Tony: Yeah, but the kid’s seen more movies.

(Tony fires a rocket from his shoulder which pierces the side of the ship and begins to suck everything out. Strange begins to be sucked out, but his cape wraps around his arm. Unfortunately, his arm slips from it and he keeps going. Spider-Man shoots a web strand at Strange with one hand and holds onto a piece of the ship with the other. It breaks, sending them both towards space when his Iron-Spider suit’s metal arms brace him to keep him from being sucked out.)

Peter Parker: Yes! Wait what are those!

(He then pulls them back inside just as Tony sprays nanites onto the hole to plug it up. Peter and Strange safely hit the floor. Ebony Maw is seen floating in space, quite dead.Peter stands and tries to shake Strange’s cape’s “hand”.)

Peter Parker: Hey, we haven’t officially met. (it ignores him and goes to Strange.) Cool.

Strange: We’ve gotta turn this ship around.

Tony: Yeah. Now he wants to run. Great plan.

Strange: No, I want to protect the stone.

Tony: And I want you to thank me. Go ahead. I’m listening.

Strange: For what? Nearly blasting me into space?

Tony: Who just saved your magical ass? Me.

Strange: I seriously don’t know how you fit your head into that helmet.

Tony: Admit it. You should have ducked out when I told you to. I tried to bench you. You refused.

Strange: Unlike everyone else in your life, I don’t work for you.

Tony: And due to that fact, we’re now in a flying doughnut billions of miles away from Earth with no backup.

Peter Parker: I’m backup.

Tony: No. You’re a stowaway. The adults are talking.

Strange: I’m sorry, I’m confused as to the relationship here. What is he, your ward?

Peter Parker: No. I’m peter, by the way.

Strange: Doctor Strange.

Peter Parker: Oh we’re using our made-up names. Um…I’m Spider-Man, then.

Tony: This ship is self-correcting its course. Thing’s on autopilot.

Strange: Can we control it? Fly us home? (Tony doesn’t make eye contact.) Stark?

Tony: Yeah.

Strange: Can you get us home?

Tony: Yeah I heard you. I’m thinking…I’m not so sure we should.

Strange: Under no circumstance can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don’t think you quite understand what’s at stake here.

Tony: No. It’s you who doesn’t understand. Thanos has been inside my head for six years…Since he sent an army to New York and now he’s back! And I don’t know what to do. So I’m not so sure if it’s a better plan to fight him on out turf or his but you saw what they did, what he can do. At least on his turf, he’s not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him. Doctor. Do you concur?

Strange: (a pause) Alright , Stark. We go to him. But you have to understand….if it comes to saving you or the kid or the Time Stone… I will not hesitate to let either of you die. I can’t, because the fate of the universe depends on it.

Tony: Good. Nice. Moral compass.We’re straight. (Turning to Peter, he puts his outstretched arm briefly on either shoulder) Alright, kid. You’re an Avenger now.

(Peter looks at Tony in disbelief, and then smiles and nods in satisfaction.)

Thanos: I thought you might be hungry.

(Gamora takes it, the hurls it across the room where it bangs against Thanos’s chair with a loud clack.)

Gamora: I always hated that chair.

Thanos: So I’ve been told. Even so. I’d hoped you’d sit on it one day.

Gamora: I hated this room. This ship. I hated my life.

Thanos: You told me that too. Every day. For almost twenty years.

Gamora: I was a child when you took me.

Thanos: I saved you.

Gamora: No. No. We were happy on my home planet.

Thanos: Going to bed hungry. scrounging for scraps. Your planet was on the brink of collapse. I’m the one who stopped that. Do you know what’s happened since then? The children born have known nothing but full bellies and clear skies. It’s a paradise.

Gamora: Because you murdered half the planet.

Thanos: A small price to pay for salvation.

Gamora: You’re insane.

Thanos: Little one, it’s a simple calculus. This universe is finite, it’s resources finite. If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist. It needs correction.

Gamora: You don’t know that!

Thanos: I’m the only one who knows that. At least, I’m the only one with the will to act on it. For a time…you had that same will…as you fought by my side. Daughter.

Gamora: I’m not your daughter. Everything I hate about myself you taught me.

Thanos: And in doing so, made you the fiercest woman in the galaxy. That’s why I trusted you to find the Soul Stone.

Gamora: I’m sorry I disappointed you.

Thanos: I am disappointed. But not because you didn’t find it. But because you did. And you lied.

Gamora: Nebula.

( the camera shifts to the right side and we see that Nebula has been partially disassembled so that she is still living, yet still slightly connected to each of her parts.)

Gamora: Don’t do this.

Thanos: Some time ago, your sister snuck aboard this ship to kill me.

Gamora: Please don’t do this.

Thanos: And very nearly succeded. So I brought her here. To talk.

(Thanos curls in both the power and space stones, causing Nebula’s already extended pieces to stretch further outward. She begins to scream.)

Gamora: Stop. Stop it. I swear to you on my life. I never found the Soul Stone.

(Thanos signals a nearby servant who taps on a control pad. We hear Nebula’s voice say, “Accessing memory files”and a sort of hologram of Gamora’s face shudders to life.)

Memory Nebula: You know what he’s about to do. He’s finally ready, and he’s going for the stones. All of them.

Memory Gamora: He can never get them all.

Memory Nebula: He will!

Memory Gamora:He can’t, Nebula. Because I found the map to the Soul stone and I burnt it to ash. I burnt it.

(The memory ends)

Thanos: (To Gamora) You’re strong. Me. You’re generous. Me. But I never taught you to lie. That’s why you’re so bad at it. Where is the Soul Stone?

( He resumes torturing Nebula for several seconds, Gamora wincing at her screams.)

Gamora: Vormir!

(Thanos stops, and Nebula gasps in air. Gamora goes to her and caresses her face.)

Gamora: The Soul Stone is on Vormir.

Thanos: Show me.

Groot: (Irritably)I am Groot.

Rocket:Tinkle in the cup. We’re not looking. What’s there to see? What’s a twig? Everybody’s seen a twig.

Groot:(Still irritably) I am Groot.

Thor:(While looking out the window) Tree, pour what’s in the cup out in space, and go in the cup again.

Rocket: You speak Groot?

Thor:Yes, they taught it on Asgard. It was an elective.

Groot:(shortly) I am Groot.

Thor:You’ll know when we’re there. Nivadellir’s forge harnesses the power of a blazing neutron star. (nostalgically) It’s the birth place of my hammer. It’s truly awesome.

(Rocket turns to see Thor sitting sadly beside the window, and sighs)

Rocket:Okay, time to be the captain. (walks to a console near by Thor) So, dead brother, huh? Yeah, that can be annoying.

Thor:Well, he’s been dead before, but this time I think it really might be true.

Rocket:And you said your sister and your dad?

Thor:Both dead.

Rocket:Still got a mom, though?

Thor:Killed by a dark elf.

Rocket:A best friend?

Thor:Stabbed through the heart.

Rocket:Are you sure you’re up to this particular murder mission?

Thor:(Smiling widely) Absolutely. Rage, vengeance, anger, loss, regret…They’re all tremendous motivators. They really clear the mind. So I’m good to go.

Rocket: Yeah, but this Thanos we’re talking about…He’s the toughest there is.
