‘Avengers: Endgame’ will end the story which began with 2008 released ‘Iron Man’. It will continue the story after ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.
In the end scene of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ Thanos managed to get all the infinity stones for his armored glove and destroyed half of the universe by the snap of his fingers. Most of the Avengers vanished after that and the remainings will continue their war with Thanos to restore everything in ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
