A year after the Skrull insurgency erupts on Earth, the fragile trust between humans and Skrulls collapses when it’s revealed that deep‑cover infiltrators have replaced key world leaders. At the center of the chaos is Gravik, a ruthless rebel commander who has stolen a Kree Universe Weapon and uncovered one of the mystical Bangles. With these artifacts, he seeks to unlock limitless power and reshape the galaxy under his rule. Across the stars, Carol Danvers continues her solitary mission to repair the damage left by the Kree-Skrull war. But when her powers suddenly entangle with those of Kamala Khan and Monica Rambeau, the three heroes are violently pulled into each other’s battles. Their forced connection reveals a deeper truth: Carol and Nick Fury have been fighting a hidden war against rogue Skrull factions for years, a war now spiraling out of control. As Gravik’s forces infiltrate S.A.B.E.R., Earth’s defenses begin to crumble from within. Talos falls in the line of duty, pushing his daughter G’iah to assume a new identity as Abigail Brand, determined to stop the rebellion from the inside. Meanwhile, Fury uncovers the horrifying extent of the infiltration — including the replacement of James Rhodes, Everett Ross, and other trusted allies. The Marvel trio races to unravel Gravik’s plan before he merges both Bangles and tears open the fabric of reality. Their journey takes them from cosmic battlefields to compromised government bunkers, forcing Carol to confront the consequences of her past decisions and the lives caught in the crossfire. Kamala’s family, caught in the chaos, becomes a reminder of what’s at stake: not just worlds, but the people who live in them. The final confrontation erupts in a cosmic storm of energy and emotion. Gravik, now infused with multiple Avengers’ abilities, unleashes devastating power. Carol ascends into her Binary form, Monica manipulates electromagnetic forces to shield the team, and Kamala embiggens herself to deliver colossal strikes. But Gravik targets Kamala directly, striking her heart to seize the Bangle and triggering a catastrophic dimensional rupture. Gravik is destroyed by the unstable fusion — but Kamala dies in Monica’s arms, her last moments filled with fear and tears. Three minutes later, CPR brings her back, a rebirth that cements her place as the emotional core of the team. With the rebellion crushed and the infiltrators exposed, the world begins to heal. Kamala, inspired by her near-death experience, seeks out Kate Bishop, hinting at a new generation of heroes. In the mid‑credits, Monica awakens in an alternate universe’s X‑Mansion, face‑to‑face with Binary — a variant of her mother — and Beast, confirming the multiversal breach. In the post‑credits, Fury returns home to his Skrull wife Varra, choosing love and honesty after a lifetime of secrets. Their reunion, tender and human, closes the film on a note of intimacy after galactic upheaval.
