After Thanos, an intergalactic warlord, decimates half of the universe, the Avengers must reunite together, post separation due to Civil War, and assemble again with old and new friends to undo Thanos' deed and bring back the fallen. Finally, they must confront Thanos again in the big epic showdown. [The decimated: Same characters as Original movie but adding the entire X-Men (except Wolverine and Deadpool [Quicksilver survived too]), Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisable Woman) and Ben Grimm (Thing), Blade and the Ghost Riders (except Robbie Reyes)] [Include the scene where Tony Stark goes to the soul realm after snapping Thanos and his lot away but instead of seeing an older Morgan Stark, Tony sees Ho Yensen, its more appropriate due to Yensen dying to save Tony years ago and Tony dying to save the universe. Makes more sense]. End Credit Scene: The Entire MCU cast (My MCU Reboot of sorts cast) prepare for a picture. The pictures are taken while a somber piano version of the Avengers theme plays as the camera zooms into Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans and Stan Lee. Cuts to black. A message reads: "Thank you, Stan Lee." "We love you all 3000." PHASE 3 MOVIE 12
