Avengers Infinity War Script

(The group begins to walk back the way it come to greet the guests)

Bruce Banner:Uh, sir, I think you can expect quite a big assault.

Steve Rodgers: How we looking?

T’Challa:You will have my King’s Guard, the Border Tribe, the Dora Milaje, and…

Bucky:(Walking forward toward Steve) A semi-stable, 100-year-old man.

(The two friends share a hug)

Steve:How you been, Buck?

Bucky:Uh, not bad, for the end of the world.

(Cut to inside Shuri’s lab where Vision lays on a table, while Bruce and Shuri stand over him, and the others watch. Shuri scans the stone, and studies the hologram)

Shuri:Whoa. The structure is polymorphic.

Bruce:Right, we had to attach each neuron non-sequentially.

Shuri:Why didn’t you just reprogram the synapses to work collectively?

Bruce:(Staring for a moment) Because, we didn’t think of it.

Shuri: (smiling)I’m sure you did your best.

Wanda:Can you do it?

Shuri:Yes, but there are more than two trillion neurons here. One misalignment could cause a cascade of circuit failures. (To T’Challa) It will take time, brother.

Steve:How long?

Shuri:As long as you can give me.

Okoye:(Looking at a device that just alerted her) Something’s entered the atmosphere.

(Cut to outside where Sam and Bucky stand, looking up a the sky)

Sam:(Over the comm)Hey, Cap, we got a situation here.

(The defense shield around Wakanda destroys one of the vessels entering the atmosphere)

Bucky:God, I love this place.

Sam:Yeah, don’t start celebrating yet, guys. We got more incoming outside the dome.

Vision:(Appearing beside the window with the others) It’s too late. We need to destroy the stone now.

Natasha:(Turning toward Vision) Vision, get your *rear* back on the table.

T’Challa:We will hold them off.

Steve:(To Wanda) Wanda, as soon as the stone’s out of his head…you blow it to hell.

Wanda: I will.

T’Challa:Evacuate the city. Engage all defense procedures. (He points to Steve) And get this man a shield.

(Cut to Nivadellir where Rocket is in the pod, and Thor jumps from the roof onto the rings with a rope in his hand attached to the pod)

Rocket: I don’t think you get the scientifics here. These rings are gigantic.You wanna get thm moving…You’re gonna need something a lot bigger to yank ’em loose.

Thor: Leave that to me.

Rocket:Leave that to you? Buddy, you’re in space. All you got is a rope and a-

(Thor begins to swing the pod around. He lets the pod drag him, until he stops himself by digging his feet into the ring, still holding the pod. The rings begin to move)

Thor: More power, rabbit!

(Finally the star bursts into life, the rings align, and a jet of light streams through the forge)

Eitri: Well done, boy.

(Thor, hanging on, looks through the pod window, at Rocket, an points to the star)

Thor:That’s Nivadellir.

(The iris closes and the beam of light recedes back into the star)

Eitri:*Dang* it.

Rocket:“*Dang* it.”? What’s “*dang* it?

Eitri:The mechanism is crippled.

Thor:What?

Eitri:With the iris closed I can’t heat the metal.

Thor: How long will it take to heat?

Eitri:A few minutes, maybe more. Why?

Thor:I’m gonna hold it open.

Eitri:That’s suicide.

Thor:So is facing Thanos without that axe.

Natasha:How we looking, Bruce?

Bruce:(While walking) Yeah, I think I’m getting the hang of it. Wow! It’s like being the Hulk without actually- (He stumbles on a rock, and a carrier goes by, from which Okoye gives him a dubious look. He stands) I’m okay. I’m okay.

Sam:We got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line.

(M’Baku of the Jubari rallies his soldiers with a war cry. He stops as T’Challa nears him)

T’Challa:Thank you for standing with us.

M’Baku:(Translated) Of course, brother.

(T’Challa, Steve, and Natasha walk to the edge of the barrier, where Proxima Midnight and Obsidian Cole stand)

Natasha:Where’s your other friend?

Proxima:You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone.

Steve:That’s not gonna happen.

T’Challa:You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood.

Proxima:We…Have blood to spare. (She raises her right arm with a cry, and several large ships emerge from the forest behind her.)

(T’Challa, Steve, Natasha return to the front line)

Bucky:Did they surrender?

Steve:Not exactly.

(T’Challa leads the Wakandans in the war cry “Yibambe!” telling them to hold fast as the Outriders bound toward the barrier)

Bucky:What the hell?

Natasha:Looks like we pissed her off.

(T’Challa commands the soldiers to engage their shields)

Okoye:(Watching as the Outriders bombard the dome only a few getting through) They’re killing themselves.

Sam:(Sending Redwings into the fight as he flies) You seen the teeth on those things?

Rhodes:Alright, back up, Sam. You’re gonna get your wings singed. (He flies over a section that has been breached and drops a barrage of mines)

Sam:Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us…There’s nothing between them and Vision.

Steve:Them we better keep ’em in front of us.

Okoye:(To T’Challa) How do we do that?

T’Challa:We open the barrier. (Putting his hand to his ear) On my signal, open North-West Section Seventeen.

Wakandan Officer:Requesting confirmation, My King. You said open the barrier?

T’Challa:On my signal.

M’Baku:(To Okoye) This will be the end of Wakanda.

Okoye:Then it will be the noblest ending in history.

(The section of the barrier is opened)

T’Challa:Wakanda Forever! (He crosses his hands over his chest as his Black Panther helmet covers his face, leading the army as they run toward the barrier. T’Challa and Steve are at the front of the advancing army) Now! (The section in the barrier disappears and the Outriders charge at them)

T’Challa:How much longer, Shuri? (Over the comm)

Shuri:We’ve barely begun, brother.

T’Challa:You might want to pick up the pace.

(Cut to Thor on the rings of Nivadellir)

Thor:Allfathers, give me strength.

Eitri:You understand, boy? You’re about to take the full force of a star. It’ll kill you.

Thor:Only if I die.

Eitri:Yes. That’s what killing you means.

(Thor grasps the handholds and pulls, slowly opening the iris. The stream of light returns and awakens the forge once more.)

Eitri:Hold it! Hold it, Thor!

(Eitri watches the metal melt, and tips the cauldron, pouring it into the mold. Thor passes out, and the jet carries him to the forge. Rocket follows him, in the pod, and Groot looks up from his game when Thor lands near him)

Rocket:(Kneeling over Thor) Thor! Say something. Come on. Thor, you okay? (To Eitri) I think he’s dying.

Eitri:He needs the axe! Where’s the handle? Tree, help me find the handle!

(Groot looks sadly at Thor, stands and grows a longer arm, weaving it around the axe and hammer, joining them,and then cutting his arm off at the usual length. Thor’s hand opens slightly, and the hammer rises from the ground; lightening flickering from it)

(Cut to Wakanda where the Avengers and Wakandans are struggling against the Outriders. Suddenly, a large beam of light lands nearby, and the Avengers and Wakandans stop to look up as the axe flies through the air, electrocuting the Outriders. Thor appears with his new axe Stormbreaker, alongside Rocket and Groot.)

Bruce: [laughing with joy] Hah! Hah! Hah! You guys are so screwed now!

Thor: BRING ME THANOS!!! (He charges toward the hoards of Outriders, followed by Groot and Rocket)

Strange:Oh, you’re much more of a Thanos.

Thanos:I take it the Maw is dead. This day extracts a heavy toll. Still, he accomplished his mission.

Strange: You may regret that. He brought you face-to-face with the Master of the Mystic Arts.

Thanos:And where do you think he brought you? (Star-Lord is near by behind wreckage with his weapon ready, and Spiderman is above the structure where Strange sits.

Strange:Let me guess. Your home?

Thanos:(Smiling reminiscently) It was. And it was beautiful. (Thanos uses the Reality Stone to show Strange Titan before it was destroyed) Titan was like most planets. Too many mouths, and not enough to go around. And when we faced extinction, I offered a solution.

Strange:Genocide.

Thanos:But at random, dispassionate, fair to rich and poor alike. They called me a madman. And what I predicted came to pass. (The illusion fades into the true state of Titan)

Strange:Congratulations. You’re a prophet.

Thanos:I’m a survivor.

Strange:Who wants to murder trillions.

Thanos:With all six stones, I could simply snap my fingers, and they would all cease to exist. I call that…Mercy.

Strange:And then what?

Thanos:I finally rest…And watch the sun rise on a grateful universe. The hardest choices require the strongest wills.

Strange:I think you’ll find our will (Using his hand motions) equal to yours.

Thanos:Ours? (He looks up in time to a see a chunk of wreckage coming down on him, and tries to use the Power to stop, but is too late)

Iron Man:(Flying in) Piece of cake, Quill.

Quill:(Flying in from the other side) Yeah, if your goal was to *tick* him off.

(The wreckage on top of Thanos erupts, the pieces glowing with purple. He shouts as he uses the Power Stone to force the pieces at Iron Man. Spiderman webs his eyes, and swings in the kick him in the face. Then Strange summons a blade, but Thanos stops it with his hand, and tears the web from his eyes. He advances on Strange, and kicks him just as Strange summons a shield, absorbing the force of his blow, but knocking him back. Star-Lord shoots Thanos from behind, and Thanos uses the Power Stone to shoot balls on energy at Star-Lord while he advances by the steps Strange formed in the air, and places a electric mine on his back. He turns to Quill, as he disengages his helmet, dives backward into a portal, flipping him off.)

Star-Lord:Boom!

(Thanos tries to use the Space Stone to pull Quill back)

Strange:(To the Cloak of Levitation)Do not let him close his fist.

(The Cloak closes around Thanos’ fist, and the mine on his back goes off. Spiderman appears on his right from a portal)

Spider-Man:Magic. (He kicks him in the head) More magic.

(He then leaps into another portal. As Thanos tries to recover, he appears through another portal behind him)

Spider-Man:Magic with a kick! (He kicks him again in the head with his right leg)

(Finally, he appears on his right)

Spider-Man:Magic with a-

(Before he can finish Thanos turns, grabbing him from the air, and throwing him to the ground, with his hand around his neck.)

Thanos:Insect! (He then throws him, about to use the gauntlet, but is interrupted by an explosion caused by Iron Man shooting a missile at him. As the flames blind Thanos, Spiderman attaches a web to him, and strains against it. Thanos pulls Spiderman toward him, but looks up as a ship crashes beside him, and Nebula jumps in front of him)

Thanos: Well, well.

Nebula: You should have killed me.

Thanos: It would’ve been a waste of parts!

Nebula: [she runs at Thanos, attacking him with her sword] Where’s Gamora?!

[Strange uses the Space Stone to case her aside, flailing. Strange forms energy ropes that grapple onto the gauntlet. Thanos tries to pull it free, as Star-Lord shoots a electric magnet onto the ground beside him, holding down his other hand. Spiderman swings in, and makes a string of web, holding him back, enabling his spider legs to anchor himself, as Strange opens a portal above Thanos out of which drops Mantis, who lands on his shoulders, her hands on his temples. He screams as she tries to put him under]

Iron Man: [while pulling on the gauntlet] Is he under? Don’t let up.

Mantis: [starting to cry] Be quick…. He is very strong!

Iron Man: Parker, help! Get over here. [Parker withdraws his web, and hurries to help Tony with the gauntlet] She can’t hold him much longer. Let’s go. We gotta open his fingers to get it off!

Star-Lord: [lands, then joins with the others] I thought you’d be harder to catch. For the record, this was my plan. Not so strong now, huh? Where’s Gamora?

Thanos: … My… Gamora…?

Star-Lord: Oh, bull–shit. Where is she?

Mantis: [shocked] He is in anguish!

Star-Lord: Good.

Mantis: [crying] He… he… he mourns!

Drax: What does this monster have to mourn?!

Nebula: [she suddenly understands in horror what Thanos has done with…] Gamora.

Star-Lord: … What?

Nebula: He took her to Vormir. He came back with the Soul Stone…but she didn’t.
