Avengers: Secret Wars, Part I (OUTLINE)

ACT I

NOTE: Heroes named by their alter-ego (first/last) name do not know their past or true identity, however, heroes named by their codename (hero name) do know their past and true identity. Also, I am well aware I make some... Strange/Risky decisions with certain characters: Specifically the beginning of the Sam/Carol plot. Trust me, I get it. In all honesty, I wanted to see how low I could take them in this first film (after their defeat in The Kang Dynasty) only to have them rise up to their fullest and maximum potential in Avengers: Secret Wars - Part II. Feel free to tell me your thoughts on this; if it's completely wrong in every way, just tell me and I'll change it.  Anyway, on with the show...

Opening Image: An extremely wide establishing shot of Battleworld with the sun seen in the foreground. We pull in. As we do so, we notice at the center of the sun is Johnny Storm being forced to "flame on" at full blast while chained up at the arms and legs. As we pass the sun and get close to Battleworld, we see the Thor Corps, the local military police that fly above Battleworld scouting for mavericks to eliminate on the ground. Continuing the pull-in, we see that Reed Richard is being forced to stretch around Battleworld in order for the planet to keep itself together. Eventually we see a large wall surrounding a fortress; the wall is made up of Ben Grimm's rocks. We then go through the fortress' front entrance and enter the throne room where The Beyonder is sitting on a golden throne with Susan Storm laying at his feet and Janet Van Dyne in servant clothing standing to the side. We keep going to a medium close-up. He grins.

We see a short montage of The Beyonder brutally murdering and slaughtering innocent heroes, overlayed with the sound of him laughing maniacally.

Peter Parker (616) is seen woefully wandering throughout a Battleworld city seeing families being split up, loved ones taken hostage by the Thor Corps, and heroes captured by The Beyonder's allies.

Sam Wilson and Carol Danvers have formed an adoptive family with Kamala Khan and Love as their daughters after being captured by The Beyonder's forces and working in John Walker's mansion as his servants.

Peter Quill, along with a B-team of mismatched heroes (including Matt Murdock, Man Thing, Eddie Brock/Venom, Elsa Bloodstone and a variant Matt Murdock [Ben Affleck]) attempt to loot a misplaced Sanctum Sanctorum when they are stopped by Doctor Strange and the Midnight Suns, including Punisher, Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider [Nicholas Cage], Blade, and Morbius [Jared Leto] (who all remember their past lives due to a spell that Strange conjured). Quill and the Matt variant are then thrown in the Sanctum's prison along with Gamora, who was already imprisoned before him. The Midnight Suns, after befriending the rest of Quill's group (besides Quill himself and the Matt variant), then go to save Deadpool, Wolverine, and The Scarlet Witch, who are all being held in The Beyonder's fortress.

Deep in the heart of The Beyonder's fortress, we see various dungeons containing a multitude of Mutants, a cell containing Scott Lang, Cassie Lang, and Hank Pym, a corrupted Cerebro torturing Professor X (as it did in X2: X-Men United), and one last cell containing Deadpool, Wolverine, and The Scarlet Witch. She attempts to escape, and nearly does, but is captured by The Beyonder himself.

Inciting Incident: The Beyonder publicly executes The Scarlet Witch for everyone to see- but not before she uses Chaos Magic to look into his mind and see his one fear: The Infinity Stones. Then, for seemingly no reason, she shoots a passing spaceship out of the sky above with the last of her magic before dying.

The ship crashes into The Beyonder's fortress, knocking a chunk of it off near the base. The crash causes havoc and destruction in the surrounding city. The havoc opens up an opportunity for Deadpool and Wolverine, as well as Sam Wilson and Carol Danvers' family to escape.

Thanos and the Black Order emerge from the crashed spaceship, and manage to take care of The Beyonder's lackies, even though it causes the deaths of the Black Order. Thanos then walks up to The Beyonder, but in one swift motion, The Beyonder rips Thanos' spine and skull out of his body.

Midpoint: Peter Parker (616) loots Thanos' ship, finding a broken/burned Stark-Tech Infinity Gauntlet with six intact Infinity Stones. He quickly stows away the stones in his pack before stealthily taking off without being seen.
