“The Guardians are arriving somewhere on the Milano. Star-Lord says that they need to be careful and that everyone should wear their mean faces. A body slams against the front of the milano. It’s Thor! Mantis wakes him up. ‘Who the hell are you guys?’ he asks.”
“Loki is presenting Thanos the tesseract! Spider-Man is on a school bus. ‘Death follows him like a shadow,” says someone of Thanos… We see the Collector’s lair destroyed. Gamora is in it, crying.”
“Fun isn’t something you consider when trying to balance the universe,” Thanos says, “But this does put a smile on my face!”
LOTS of Avengers fighting! The Hulkbuster is back! Spider-Man in his Avengers costume! A giant battle with Thanos on an utterly-decimated landscape. He’s able to reach out his arm and call down flaming comets from the heavens. Dr. Strange is on the battlefield. Iron Man is with Mantis. It looks massive!
Confirmed cast members for the film so far include Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Scalett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olson, Chadwick Boseman, Sebastian Stan, Don Cheadle, Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Pom Klementieff, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Sean Gunn, Tom Holland, Josh Brolin, and Paul Rudd.
