Plot
The story start in Inverness, Bruce Wayne called Amy Pond to checking, Hulk was fallen in New York City.

Hulk crash-lands at the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York City, reverting to Bruce Banner. He warns Dr. Stephen Strange and Wong about Darkseid's plan to kill half of all life in the universe; in response, Strange recruits Iron Man. Maw and Obsidian arrive to retrieve the Time Stone from Strange, drawing the attention of Spider-Man. Maw captures Strange and tortures him violently, but fails to take the Time Stone due to an enchantment. Iron Man and Spider-Man pursue Maw's spaceship. Banner contacts Barry Allen via Batman's Touch pad, and Wong stays behind to guard the Sanctum.

In Scotland, Midnight and Glaive ambush Scarlet Witch and Vision in order to retrieve the Mind Stone in Vision's forehead and Scarlet Witch fails to block them. Diana, Arthur, and Falcon rescue them after Banner's phone call and take shelter with War Machine and Banner at the Avengers Compound while they think on a solution. Vision offers to sacrifice himself by having Scarlet Witch destroy the Mind Stone to keep Darkseid from retrieving it. Nomad suggests they travel to Wakanda, which he believes has the resources to remove the stone without destroying Vision.

The Guardians of the Galaxy respond to a distress call from the Asgardian ship and rescue Kal-El, who surmises Darkseid seeks the Reality Stone, which is in the possession of the Collector on Knowhere. Rocket Raccoon and Groot accompany Thor to Nidavellir, where they and the giant dwarf Eitri create an enchanted battle-axe known as the Stormbreaker capable of killing Darkseid.

On Knowhere, Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and Mantis find Darkseid with the Reality Stone already in his possession after brutally attacking the Collector. Darkseid kidnaps Gamora, his adoptive daughter, who wounds him with her knife but not before she reveals the location of the Soul Stone to save her captive adoptive sister Nebula from torture.

Darkseid and Gamora travel to Vormir, where the Red Skull, keeper of the Soul Stone, informs him the stone can only be retrieved by sacrificing someone he loves the most. Thanos reluctantly kills Gamora, earning the Stone.

Nebula escapes captivity and asks the remaining Guardians to meet her on Darkseid's destroyed homeworld, Titan. Iron Man and Spider-Man kill Maw by ejecting him out of his spaceship and rescue Strange. Landing on Titan, they meet Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis. The group forms a plan to remove Darkseid's Infinity Gauntlet after Strange uses the Time Stone to view millions of possible futures, seeing only one in which Darkseid loses.

Darkseid arrives, and explains to Strange his motives. He is justifying his plans as necessary to ensure the survival of a universe threatened by overpopulation. The group subdues him after a lengthy battle in which Darkseid uses the Space Stone to throw a moon and meteors on the group until Nebula deduces that Darkseid has killed Gamora for the Soul Stone.

Enraged, Star-Lord attempts to retaliate, allowing Darkseid to break the group's hold and overpower them. After Batman is seriously wounded by Darkseid which stabbed him with his weapon, Strange surrenders the Time Stone in exchange for Darkseid sparing Iron Man. Darkseid then departs for Earth.

In Wakanda, Nomad reunites with White Wolf before Darkseid's armies invade. Justice League, alongside Black Panther and the Wakandan forces, mount a defense while Shuri works to extract the Mind Stone from Vision. Banner, unable to transform into the Hulk, fights in Batman's Hulkbuster armor. Aquaman, Rocket, and Groot arrive to reinforce the defenders; Midnight, Obsidian, and Glaive are killed and their army is routed. Darkseid arrives and, uses the stones to brutally defeat almost every single of the Avengers which attempt to block him whilst Scarlet Witch destroys Vision with the Mind Stone. However, Darkseid uses the Time Stone to cancel the action, and retrieves the Mind Stone from Vision, destroying him once again.

Thor severely wounds Darkseid via the Stormbreaker, but Darkseid mocks him and later activates the complete Infinity Gauntlet before he teleports away. Darkseid's plan actually succeeds when he exterminates half of the population of the universe by snapping his fingers, including White Wolf, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Mantis, Drax, Star-Lord, Strange, and Spider-Man. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Rocket, Nebula, M'Baku, Okoye, and Shuri have survive the fingersnap. The broken Batman and Nebula remain on Titan while Banner, M'Baku, Okoye, War Machine, Rocket, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman are left on the Wakandan battlefield left shocked from Darkseid's victory. Meanwhile, Darkseid rests on another planet and smiles towards a sunset after realizing that he is managed to fulfill his plan.

In a post-credits scene, in New York City, Nick Fury transmits a distress signal as both he, Maria Hill, and others disintegrate. The transmitter displays a star insignia on a red-and-blue background.
