Plot
T'Challa, the Prince of Wakanda, returns from the outside world to learn the kingdom is being attacked by the alien Chitauri. Herr Kleiser, the alien shape-shifter who battled Captain America during World War II, kills T'Challa's father in combat and seeks Wakanda's store of vibranium, the metal the Chitauri use to manufacture their ships and weapons. After becoming King and assuming the alias of the Black Panther, T' Challa seeks the aid of Captain America. General Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. orders the Avengers to assemble, with the exception of Thor (who foresees a future in which the Avengers die in battle, which father Odin confirms is connected to a giant spacecraft heading for Earth) and the Hulk, whose alter-ego Bruce Banner is interrogated and bullied in a cell.
Despite a misunderstanding in which the Avengers are attacked by the Wakandan soldiers, the Wasp (Janet van Dyne) being injured, and Captain America's shield being stolen, the team rallies and, together with Thor, battle the alien Chitauri. Banner then deduces that gamma rays will weaken vibranium and sends Betty Ross to Wakanda with a gamma-ray projector. A worldwide invasion of Earth takes place, during which Wasp recovers and Bruce Banner presumably dies due to a game radiation overdose until he transforms into the Hulk. While the team battles the Chitauri mothership hanging over Wakanda, Captain America and Black Panther attempt to kill Kleiser, whose regenerative powers prove too strong. Instead, they bury him in liquid vibranium, from which he cannot escape. Giant Man and Iron Man use the gamma-ray projector on the mothership core and send it crashing to Earth. Giant Man is mortally wounded in the battle and dies in Wasp's arms. Iron Man, near death, is revived by Thor's summoning of the heavens, confirming to his allies that he is a genuine god. The Avengers hold a celebration in tribute to Giant Man and it is revealed that Banner survived by transforming into the Hulk at the last moment and he leaves. The film ends with Captain America and Black Widow furthering their relationship and sharing a passionate kiss.Cast

Trivia
- This is listed as Earth-60808 in the Marvel Multiverse instead of Earth-3848 from the previous movie.
- Unlike the previous film, the images during the credits are from the 616 (Main) universe rather than the Ultimate line. This is especially evident with Captain America, Wasp, Iron Man, and Thor. Giant Man, Nick Fury, and Herr Kleiser (who has no 616 equivalent) use the Ultimate design. All the Black Panther images had to come from the main universe as he had no Ultimate equivalent yet. The other images are designs that are 616 but fairly close to the Ultimate design. During the scrolling section some are from the 616 universe while others are from the Ultimate.
