Avengers Infinity War Script

Thor:Well, he’s never fought me.

Rocket: Yeah, he has.

Thor: He’s never fought me twice. And I’m getting a new hammer, don’t forget.

Rocket: Better be some hammer.

Thor: You know, I’m 1,500 years old. I’ve killed twice as many enemies as that, and every one would have rather killed me, but none succeeded. I’m only alive because fate wants me alive. Thanos is the latest in a long line of *morons* and he will be the latest to feel my vengeance.

Rocket:And what if you’re wrong?

Thor:If I’m wrong then what more could I lose?

(Thor stands and seats himself at the front of the pod, beside Groot)

Rocket:I could lose a lot. Me personally. I could lose a lot. (Rocket takes an eyeball from somewhere on his person) Okay. If fate does want you to kill that crapsack… You’re gonna need more than one stupid eyeball. (he gives Thor the eyeball)

Thor: What’s this?

Rocket: What’s it look like? Some jerk lost a bet with me on on Contraxia.

Thor:He gave you his eye?

Rocket:He gave me 100 credits. I snuck in later that night and stole his eye.

Thor: Thank you, sweet rabbit.

(Thor proceeds to put the eyeball in his socket)

Rocket:Hmm. Huh? Oh. I would’ve washed that. The only way I could sneak it off Contraxia was up my…Hey, we’re here!

Thor:(Smacking his palm against the side of his head) I don’t think this thing works. Everything seems dark.

Rocket:It ain’t the eye.

(Nivadellir is dark and motionless as the three near it)

Thor:Something’s wrong. The star’s gone out. And the rings are frozen.

(Cuts to inside the forge, where Thor, Rocket and Groot walk through a seemingly abandon, and cluttered room)

Rocket: I hope these dwarves are better at forging than they are cleaning…Maybe they realized they live in a junk pile in the middle of space…

Thor:This forge hasn’t gone dark in centuries…

Rocket:(Looking to a pedestal) You said Thanos had a gauntlet, right?

Thor:Yes. Why?

Rocket:Look anything like that?

Groot:I am Groot.

Rocket: Go back to the pod.

(Suddenly a large figure storms towards them fiercely)

Thor:Eitri, wait! Stop! Stop.

Eitri:Thor?

Thor: What happened here?

Eitri:You were supposed to protect us. Asgard was supposed to protect us!

Thor:Asgard is destroyed. Eitri, the glove. What did you do?

Eitri:(He pauses before beginning his solemn story) 300 dwarves lived on this ring. I thought if I did what he asked, they’d be safe. I made what he wanted. A device capable of harnessing the power of the stones. Then he killed everyone anyway. All except me. “Your life is yours.” he said “But your hands are mine alone.”

Thor:Eitri, this isn’t about your hands. Every weapon you’ve designed, every axe, hammer sword…It’s all inside your head. Now I know all hope feels lost. Trust me, I know. But together, you and I, we can kill Thanos.

Nebula:Mantis, listen very carefully. I need you to meet me on Titan.

Peter Parker:(To Tony) Hey, what’s going on?

Tony: I think we’re here. I don’t think this rig has a self-park function. (Instructing Peter to put his arm in the machine for piloting) Get your hand into this steering gimbal. Close those around it. You understand?

Peter Parker:Yep, got it.

Tony:This was meant for one big guy, so we gotta to move at the same time.

Peter Parker:Okay. Okay. Ready.

Tony: We might wanna turn.

Peter Parker: Turn! Turn! Turn!

(Strange creates a shield around them to prevent them from being killed in the landing.)

(The ship, now partially gone, lands on Titan)

Tony:(To Strange) You alright?

Tony:That was close. I owe you one.

(Peter Parker descends from above in spider-like fashion)

Peter Parker:Let me just say, if aliens wind up implanting eggs in my chest or something…And I end up eating you, I’m sorry.

Tony:(While pointing at Peter) I don’t wanna hear another single pop culture out of you for the rest of the trip. You understand?

Peter Parker:I’m trying to say that something is coming.

(A grenade rolls into view, and Peter, Strange and Tony get back. Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis appear in the doorway)

Drax:(Yelling) Thanos!

(The Cloak of Levitation flies at Drax’s face and whips him around. Star-Lord pins Iron Man to the wall with a magnetic disc)

Peter Parker:(While crawling backward from Mantis) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Please don’t put your eggs in me!

(Peter webs Mantis’ arms to her body, and Star-Lord flies at him front the side, kicking him down.)

Star-Lord:Stay down, clown.

(Tony fires at the flying Star-Lord as Peter Parker extends his spider legs and jumps at him, but Star-Lord throws an electric cord that wraps around Parker sending him to the ground)

Drax:(Struggling with the Cloak of Levitation) Die, blanket of death!

(Iron Man pulls free of the magnet. They pull weapons on each other. Star-Lord has Peter Parker in a head-lock, while Iron Man stands over Drax with a gun, and Doctor Strange stands ready near Mantis)

Star-Lord:Everybody stay where you are. Chill F out. (Quill powers off his helmet) I’m gonna ask you this one time. Where’s Gamora?

Tony:Yeah, I’ll do you one better. Who’s Gamora?

Drax:I’ll do you one better! Why is Gamora?

Star-Lord:Tell me where the girl is, or I swear to you, I’m gonna French fry this little freak.

Tony:Let’s do it! You shoot my guy, I blast him. Let’s go! (Tony extends his nanotech gun)

Drax:Do it, Quill! I can take it.

Mantis:No he can’t take it!

Strange: She’s right. You can’t.

Star-Lord:Oh yeah? You don’t wanna tell me where she is? That’s fine. I’ll kill all three of you and beat it out of Thanos myself. (To Parker) Starting with you.

Strange:Wait, what, Thanos? All right, let me ask you this one time. What master do you serve?

Star-Lord:What master do I serve? What am I supposed to say? “Jesus”?

Tony:You’re from Earth?

Star-Lord:I’m not from Earth. I’m from Missouri.

Tony:Yeah, that’s on Earth dip-shit. What are you hassling us for?

Peter Parker: So, you’re not with Thanos?

Star-Lord:With Thanos? (scoffs) No, I’m here to kill Thanos. He took my girl- Wait, who are you?

Peter Parker:We’re the Avengers, man.

Star-Lord:Oh.

Mantis:You’re the ones Thor told us about.

Tony: You know Thor?

Star-Lord:Yeah. Tall guy, not the good-looking, needed saving.

Tony:Where is he now?

Rocket:This is plan? We’re gonna hit him with a brick?

Eitri:It’s a mold. A king’s weapon. Meant to be the greatest in Asgard. In theory, it could even summon the Bifrost.

Thor:Did it have a name?

Eitri:Stormbreaker.

Rocket: That’s a bit much.

Thor:So how do we make it?

Eitri:You’ll have to restart the forge. Awaken the heart of a dying star.

Thor:Rabbit, fire up the pod.

Quill:The *heck* happened to this planet? It’s eight degrees off its axis. Gravitational pull is all over the place.

Tony:Yeah, we got one advantage. He’s coming to us. We’ll use it. All right, I have a plan. Or at least the beginnings of one. It’s pretty simple. We draw him in, pin him down, get what we need. Definitely don’t wanna dance with this guy. We just need the gauntlet.

(Drax yawns)

Tony:Are you yawning? In the middle of this, while I’m breaking it down? Huh? Did you hear what I said?

Drax:I stopped listening after you said, “We need a plan.”

Tony:(To Quill) Okay, Mr. Clean is on his own page.

Quill:See, “not winging it” isn’t really what they do.

Peter Parker:Uh, what exactly do they do?

Mantis:Kick names, take ass.

Drax:(Quietly as he shifts to a commanding position beside Mantis) Yeah, that’s right

Tony: (Tony stands for a moment with an expression of hopelessness) Alright, just get over her, please. Mr. Lord can you get your folks to circle up?

Quill:“Mr. Lord.” Star-Lord is fine. (Motions to Drax and Mantis)

Tony:We gotta coalesce. ‘Cause if all we come at him with is a plucky attitude..”

Quill:Dude, don’t call us plucky. We don’t know what is means. Alright, we’re optimistic, yes. I like your plan. Except it sucks, so let me do the plans, and that way it might be really good.

Drax:Tell him about the dance-off to save the universe.

Tony: What dance-off?

Quill:It’s nothing.

Peter Parker:Like in Footloose, the movie?

Quill:(Excitedly) Exactly like Footloose. Is it still the greatest movie in history?

Peter Parker:It never was.

(Quill frowns sadly at him)

Tony:Don’t encourage this, alright?

Peter Parker:Okay.

Tony: We’re getting no help from Flash Gordon here.

Quill:Flash Gordon? By the way, that’s a compliment. Don’t forget, I’m half human. (Quill points at Stark and Parker) So that 50% of me that’s stupid… That’s 100% you.

Tony:Your math is blowing my mind.

Mantis: Excuse me, but…Does your friend often do that?

(Strange is sitting cross-legged, his hands poise in a mystic gesture with the Time Stone suspended between them. His eyes are closed, and his head is jerking rapidly from side to side)

Tony:Strange, we alright?

(Strange seems to snap out of it as he starts forward, letting out a cry)

Tony:You’re back. You’re alright. Hi.

Peter Parker:Hey, what was that?

Strange:(Speaking breathlessly) I went forward in time to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict.

Quill:How did you see?

Strange:14,000,605.

Tony:How many did we win?

(Strange pauses a while before answering)

Strange:One.

Thanos:The stone had better be up there…For your sister’s sake.

(Cut to inside the mountain where Thanos and Gamora stand before a cloaked, faceless figure there to guard the way)

Stonekeeper:Welcome, Thanos, son of Eros. Gamora, daughter of Thanos.

Thanos:You know us?

Stonekeeper:It is my curse to know all who journey here.

Thanos:Where’s the Soul Stone?

Stonekeeper:You should know…It extracts a terrible price.

Thanos:I am prepared.

Stonekeeper:We all think that at first. (The figure glides farther out of the shadows and reveals the face of who we know to be Red Skull from Captain America: The First Avenger) We are all wrong.

(Cut to the Red Skull leading Thanos and Gamora to an outside pinnacle)

Thanos:How is it you know this place so well?

Red Skull:A lifetime ago, I, too, sought the stones. I even held one in my hand. But it cast me out, banished me here. Guiding others to a treasure I cannot possess.

(They come to the edge of mountaintop, and stop at the precipice)

Red Skull:What you seek lies before you. As does what you fear.

Thanos:What’s this?

Red Skull:The price. Soul hold a special place among the Infinity Stones. You might say it has a certain wisdom.

Thanos:Tell me what it needs.

Red Skull:To ensure that whoever possesses it… Understands its power… The stone demands a sacrifice.

Thanos:Of what?

Red Skull:In order to take the stone you must lose that which you love. A soul…For a soul.

(Gamora begins to laugh at the irony of the situation)

Gamora:All my life, I dreamed of a day…A moment when you would get what you deserved. And I was always so disappointed. But now…You kill and torture…And you call it mercy. The universe has judged you. You asked it for a prize, and it told you no. You failed. And do you wanna know why? Because you love nothing. No one.

Thanos:(Turning to face Gamora with tears in his eyes)No.

Gamora:Really? Tears?

Red Skull:They’re not for him.

(Gamora looks at Red Skull, and seems to realize what is about to happen)

Gamora:No. This isn’t love.

Thanos:I ignored my destiny once. I cannot do that again. Even for you. I’m sorry, little one.

(Thanos grabs Gamora by the arm and takes her to the precipice)

Gamora:No!

(She tries in vain to brake from his grasp but he soon throws her over the side, and watches sorrowfully as she falls to her death)

Sam:Drop to 2600, heading 0-3-0. I hope you’re right about this, Cap. Or we’re gonna land a lot faster than you want to.

(The Quinjet passes through a force field into Wakanda)

Okoye:(Walking with T’Challa and a band of the King’s Guard) When you said we were going to open Wakanda to the rest of the world…This is not what I imagined.

T’Challa:And what did you imagine?

Okoye: The Olympics. Maybe even a Starbucks.

(The occupants of the Quinjet descend the ramp)

Bruce Banner:(To Rhodey) Should we bow?

Rhodes:Yeah, he’s a king.

Steve Rodgers: Seems like I’m always thanking you for something. (Shaking hands with T’Challa)

(Bruce bows in front of him)

Rhodes:What are you doing?

T’Challa:Uh, we don’t do that here. (He dissuades with a motion of his hand) So how big of an assault can we expect?
